This amazing act of irresponsibility by first termer Sen. Pam “gallows” Galloway should call into question her fitness a lawmaker and, unbelievably, a doctor. What in god’s name were voters thinking?
And I suppose this is what voters wanted when they put Republicans in charge of Wisconsin?
Stevens Point Journal: A proposal that would allow retailers to start selling booze at 6 a.m. has officials at odds over whether doing so would compound the state's drinking problem.
Sen. Pam Galloway, R-Wausau, said she signed on as a co-author of a bill that would allow retailers to sell alcohol two hours earlier than they can now, after hearing from several local grocers who support the measure. The Wisconsin Grocers Association also backs the bill … she doesn't think the two-hour difference will lead to an increase in alcohol abuse.
But Everest Metro Police Chief Wally Sparks said changing the time is a bad idea because a correlation exists between availability and incidents involving alcohol.
(Galloway said) the bill would allow those who grocery shop early, such as third-shift workers and perhaps tourists shopping for trips … "I think it will be helpful. I think the health issues brought forward (in Thursday's public hearing) were overstated," she said. "I think it will benefit people and businesses in our district."
The trailer "trashification" of Wisconsin has arrived.
