WBA contended that requiring the use of 4.2.2 was inconsistent with the UDC.  Consequently, the Department is modifying its rule.  This rule proposal will ultimately provide WBA with an opportunity to comment to the Department and the Legislature with any concerns regarding the use of REScheck 4.2.2.  A hearing on the rule is anticipated in October.  

Lawton Shops Polling Numbers 

In late August we received an e-mail from Lieutenant Governor Barb Lawton’s campaign staff promoting a poll done by website DailyKos.com on her efforts to become Wisconsin’s next governor.  

The polling data released by the far-left leaning Web site reports that Lawton leads both of the announced GOP candidates, up by 9 points against Scott Walker and 8 points to Mark Neumann.  The poll also showed that Lawton’s favorable rating is 2-1 among the general electorate and up 3-1 with independent voters. 

It is very important to note that the polling numbers that Lawton’s campaign is shopping as a sign of her general election strength against both Walker and Neumann were actually completed on July 11, 2009 well before Governor Doyle announced he would not be seeking a 3rd term. 

If you have any questions on these or any other staff changes at WBA please do not hesitate to contact me (Brad Boycks, 608-242-5155, ext. 16, bboycks@wisbuild.org).
