Assembly Rep. Diane Hesselbein, the only state lawmaker attending last Thursday’s meeting, said she sensed the continuing concerns.
“The message was loud and clear. Citizens need to tell state governments leaders, when it comes to roads, to fix it or take a hike,” Hesselbein said.

I'll be on Sly 93.7 at 3:00 to talk about the Right to Try bill Senator Risser, Rep. Kleefisch, and I authored last session. It looks like the Republicans in the State Assembly are going to move it forward!
- What would it take to get the legislature to call for a feasibility ...study to determine the cost and organizational efficiencies that would be gained by moving the WDVA under the DMA as a subordinate agency, reestablishing the Board of Veterans Affairs as the governing and oversight body, and replacing the secretary with an administrator who reports to the Board? This concept could reap huge fiscal rewards that could be refocused on tangible, meaningful and beneficial veterans benefits programs by eliminating costly and capital-intense staffing overhead and administrative processes. It would also allow for further increases in services that can be entrusted to be administered by the CVSOs as the county agencies; which they have always been intended to function as in supporting veterans at the local, accessible and accountable level of government.
