A gentleman from Fair Wisconsin stopped to talk and hand me a flier yesterday while I sat enjoying the paper outdoors. His visit reminded me that I still hadn't handed out any of the
Brad Schimel for District Attorney fliers which I'd promised I would.
I began campaigning for Brad on McCall Street just south of the Post Office and was extremely impressed with the historic homes, wonderful gardens and friendly neighbors. Ness Flores, now a reserve judge, even invited me in to see his beautifully restored historic home. At 3:00 I was told by a fellow voter that she was heading out to hear the governor talk at
Sprizzo's.
I was really enjoying what I was doing, got a good start after putting off the fliers for weeks and still had a stack of them left, but I'd never met the governor and he was just a short bike ride away. I finished McCall Street and left for Sprizzo's figuring I probably missed him. However, he was just making his way to the front of the cafe where I was, he gave me a warm handshake then gave his speech about 10 feet away.
Governor Doyle talked about his dedication of a new segment of the
Hank Aaron State Trail earlier in the day, meeting Aaron and land stewardship. He talked about someday maybe a bike trail will stretch from Lake Michigan to the Mississippi and he talked about stem cells. He spoke of Wisconsin's lead in stem cell technology and how the research could've helped his own mother. The governor talked about a lot more things but I did not hear him say one word about Waukesha's water situation.
