— Have questions about Act 10, Wisconsin’s drunken driving laws, state aid to cities or the condition of the Interstate system?

You can get all of those questions answered—as long as you have the correct change.

From 10 a.m. to 2:45 p.m. Friday, Rep. Amy Loudenbeck, R-Clinton, will meet her constituents on Janesville and Beloit city buses, according to a news release from the city of Janesville.

Loudenbeck represents the 45th Assembly District that includes most of Beloit, eastern Rock County and the far eastern and northeastern portions of Janesville.

Loudenbeck is holding “office hours” on the bus in an effort to reach constituents who wouldn’t have the opportunity to meet with her elsewhere, according to the news release.

Riding the bus also will give Loudenbeck the chance to see new construction and other changes in the district, according to the release.

Loudenbeck’s schedule:

-- 10 a.m.: Leaves from Beloit Transfer Center on the Beloit-Janesville Express bus, traveling Highway 51 to Blackhawk Technical College, past the Rock County Job Center and UW-Rock County.

-- 10:45 a.m.: Arrives at the Janesville Transfer Center, 123 S. River St., and continues on the Beloit-Janesville Express to the Rock County Health Care Center area then back to the transfer center.

-- 11:15 a.m.: Boards the Wright Road bus that will take her past the new St. Mary’s Janesville Hospital.

-- 11:45 a.m.: Boards the Milton Avenue bus, riding through northeastern Janesville including portions of her district north of Highway 14.

-- 12:45 p.m.: Arrives back at the transfer center and holds “office hours” in the waiting room until 1:15 p.m.

-- 2 p.m.: Boards Beloit Route 4 bus serving eastern parts of Beloit, including the Milwaukee Road commercial area, returning to the Beloit Transfer Center at 2:40 p.m.

“This isn’t a listening session on the budget or a citizen email exchange about an article they just read in the news,” Loudenbeck said in the news release. “This is the opportunity to ask people, ‘What keeps you up at night, and what can I do to help?’”

I understand sarcasm quite well but apparently you do not. I majored in sarcasm while enrolled in the Sally Struthers correspondence school. It was either sarcasm or accounting.....and accounting seemed boring.

"HEAR WHAT WE ARE SAYING..."
I'm sure they hear you but if what you are saying is similar to what you wrote, it's hard to make sense out of your random Eysteritis (a form of literary tourettes syndrome)

"She shows up at meetings that she thinks she is invited to"
.
Would you care to be more specific, or did you pull that comment out of some place dark and cramped?

I won't be there. But what keeps me up at night is the cuts that are forcing people to lose homes, Jobs and wonder where their next meal will come from to feed their family and will they have medical when needed. Those are things they THE GOP DO NOT CARE ABOUT. We all now if we read the paper about Drunk driving laws. And how much they want to waste on the interstate. We already know how they cut the aid to cities. Tell us something that matters and HEAR WHAT WE ARE SAYING...

Perhaps, bodgerfister, if you had spelled her name correctly you might have gotten a response.
-cynical-> Kind of funny since I wrote to Doyle more than once to pass concealed carry and all the response I got was a form letter full of leftie rhetoric telling me that the majority of voters didn't truly know what we wanted better than Diamond Jim.

don't forget lefties, letters in crayon are not looked at for policy suggestions but if you do a good enough job us adults will hang them on the fridge for you.

She responded to all of my emails but it was the typical Republican/Tea Bagger BS! She pretends to listen then does what the party wants, not what the voters want.

I wouldn't bother speaking with Loudenbauch. I did email her and asked her some questions last February but she didn't even have the decency to respond to my questions. She won't get my vote next time around.

Loudenback qualifies and restricts the conversation with “This isn’t a listening session on the budget or a citizen email exchange about an article they just read in the news,” -------------------- But what if Walker's class war budget is the reason I lay awake at night and suggest you enter a resolution to repeal as something you can do about it? Oh, well. That you don't want to hear?
