But the landlord-driven bills stand out for the volume, quick passage and the fact some came in direct response to specific problems faced by the lawmaker landlords.
"The idea of having a citizen legislature where people have experience is what everybody says they want, right?" said Vos, who had held elective office since 1994 and owns an array of businesses. "They don't want professional politicians."
Wisconsin landlord-tenant law had changed little for years before the 2010 election.
The first landlord bill, which limited the powers of municipalities in policing the rental industry, was sponsored by Vos and Lasee in May 2011.
Actually, there is. In the past 24 hours, two new polls have been released — one by the Pew Research Center on global attitudes toward the United States and one by the Chicago Council on Global Affairs about U.S. attitudes toward foreign policy (full disclosure: I sit on the Chicago Council’s Foreign Policy Advisory Board, which oversees the direction of the annual survey). The combined poll results suggest that the United States under Trump ain’t getting much respect at home or abroad.
At the same time, many express frustration about America’s role in the world and say they have little confidence in President Donald Trump to do the right thing in world affairs, according to a new Pew Research Center survey of 25 nations.
Offset printing was developed from the late 1800s into the early 1900s and continues to be one of the predominant printing methods used today. In this process an inked image is transferred from a plate onto a rubber blanket and then transferred again onto paper. This process draws from the lithographic process, relying on the repulsion of oil and water.

Now. On Applegate Road (frontrage road south of Beltline, i.e., 12, 14, 18, & 151) looking at the approximate location of where the Travel Lodge used to sit.

The Travel Lodge came to an ignominious end.

Myles bailed out of jail on that charge, but was arrested again after a maid allegedly discovered cocaine June 7 while cleaning a room Myles was using at the Travel Lodge at 910 Ann St.

When police were called to the Travel Lodge, 910 Ann St., at noon Friday to check on a drunk man, Officer Jerry Goehring recognized the drunk man as fitting the description of Carroll.
The state Constitution grants the governor the power to pardon individuals convicted of a crime, which Wisconsin governors from both parties have traditionally used. Walker, however, declined to do so.
The board will make recommendations to Evers on whom he should grant a pardon.
Under Evers’ executive order announced Thursday, those convicted of a felony may apply for a pardon if they finished their sentence at least five years ago and haven’t committed new crimes. Those required to register on the sex offender registry are ineligible for a pardon.
Bernard enjoyed a respectable run during the 1st half of the 20th century, spending 47 years (1900-1945, 1947) in the top 100, peaking at #45 in 1919 and 1921. A long, slow decline accelerated in the 1990, and he fell off the chart after 2008.
Alexander's predecessor as Newburg's administrator resigned abruptly last month in an ethics dispute. The village's deputy clerk and treasurer also handed in her resignation.
The resignations follow months of upheaval in Newburg. Rena Chesak, Newburg’s recently installed village president, was censured by a local ethics commission last month after she’d been accused of violating village policy while serving as a village trustee last year.
MARIANNA, Ark.—A notion is going around, mostly in the North, that the race issue is fading away in the South. The people of eastern Arkansas know better.
During the last year, a 50‐mile stretch of Arkansas's richest cotton and soybean country across the Mississippi River from Memphis has seen one black man shot to death by white policeman, 10 blacks and whites injured by gunfire in three towns, numerous others beaten with clubs, tire tools and fists, and several buildings damaged by arson.
Leon was a consistent performer during the first half of the 20th century, spending 43 years (1900-1942) in the top 100, peaking at #73 in 1926. After a long, slow decline, he turned things around in 2006 and has since moved up 286 places on the chart.
The epicenter of broiling conditions is California, where records have fallen from south to north. San Francisco Airport soared to a record high of 100 degrees Monday, which is its earliest instance hitting the mark and its hottest June temperature, by two degrees.
About 45 million people are under a heat advisory or excessive heat warning for a third straight day Tuesday because of an unusually strong area of high pressure lodged over the region.
