Wisconsin State Senator Alan Lasee Hangin' Up his Hat

Link to January 12 Manitowoc Herald Times Reporter article, "Alan Lasee to retire from Legislature".

Excerpt: Sen. Alan Lasee, a cowboy-hat wearing Republican who unsuccessfully fought to bring back capital punishment in Wisconsin, said Monday he was retiring after 36 years in the Wisconsin Legislature.

Lasee, 72, of Rockland, said he decided to retire rather than run for re-election this fall after "a great deal of thought and consideration."

"It's a difficult decision, but it's time," said Lasee, whose district covers Door and Kewaunee counties as well as parts of Manitowoc, Brown, Calumet and Outagamie counties.

"The fire is gone."
