While Fitz Ferries DC Cash Back Home, A Citizen Opponent Emerges

Kudos to Fort Atkinson's Lori Compas for leading the historic petition drive effort to recall the powerfully out-of-touch Senate Republican Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald, and then agreeing to run against his arrogance and money.

Fitzgerald's response, other than dubious signature challenges: a vacation with his best legislative pals from maneuvering on behalf of an out-of-state mining company by jetting off to DC for an event tonight at a major lobbying firm to raise money at a $1,000-a-ticket.

For that kind of money, the chocolate truffles better come dipped in 24-karat gold.
