Conservatively Speaking
State Senator Mary Lazich (R-New Berlin) represents parts of four counties: Milwaukee, Waukesha, Racine, and Walworth. Her Senate District 28 includes New Berlin, Franklin, Greendale, Hales Corners, Muskego, Waterford, Big Bend and parts of Greenfield, East Troy, and Mukwonago. Senator Lazich has been in the Legislature for more than a decade. She considers herself a tireless crusader for lower taxes, reduced spending and smaller government.
Journal/Sentinel agrees I should not have been excluded from meeting in Governor’s office

Last week, I posted the following:
“On Tuesday, a group formed by Governor Doyle to work on the Great Lakes Compact met for two hours in the Governor’s office.
As a member of the Wisconsin Legislative Council Special Committee on the Great Lakes Water Resources Compact, and as the state Senator representing New Berlin and the Waukesha area that will be affected by the Compact, I should have been notified about the meeting and invited. I was not."The Milwaukee Journal/Sentinel editorial board agreed:
“Given the public interest in the matter and the controversial policy issues at stake, notice should have been given regardless of the legal requirements. Furthermore, state Sen. Mary Lazich (R-New Berlin) is right when she argues that - as a representative of an area seeking Great Lakes water and as a member of a legislative study committee on the issue - she should have been included in the group that met Tuesday.”Here is the entire
editorial.
