On Poll deems McDonald ‘unqualified’

"Did you know that the youngest Wisconsin Supreme Court justice was 33 years old?" - Actually he was 28 (Charles Larrabee) and it was 1848, a little bit different time than today. 28 was middle age back then. Also, he had been practicing law for 7 years by then and had served as a delegate to the 1848 State Constitution convention.
From the campaign facebook page "Only candidate who will have been to law school and received a formal legal education in the past 20 years by the time the new judge will take office on August 1, 2012. " So the rest have at least 20 years law experience? Compared to 5 years?
Sorry, but "unqualified" to sit as a judge sounds about right to me.

OK, took some time to look it up:
A person who is a CCW licensee or out-of-state CCW licensee may possess a firearm within 1,000 feet of the grounds of a school, but not in or on school grounds. Wis. Stat. § 948.605(2)(b)1r.
The CCW statute still exempts law enforcement officers (peace officers) from any prohibition on carrying concealed weapons. However, the definition of a peace officer for this purpose does not include a commission warden who is not state certified. Wis. Stat. §941.23(2)(a).
the former officer possesses a photo ID issued by the law enforcement agency from which the former officer separated from service and the ID indicates that within the past 12 months preceding the date of possession the former officer has been tested or found by the law enforcement agency to meet the standards for qualification in firearms training that the agency sets for active law enforcement officers to carry a firearm of the same type as the firearm the former officer is carrying. Wis. Stat. § 941.23(2)(c)1 and 941.23(3)(b)1.
All the above (and more!) from http://www.doj.state.wi.us/dles/cib/Conc...
So besides grandstanding and pretending to actually be doing something, what does Knilans' proposal do?

I thought the concealed carry law actually rescinds the 1000 foot rule. That is why schools are now posting no weapons in the building. Another law still makes it illegal to carry in a school, but the 1000 foot rule was rescinded for permit holders. Also, it sounds like the federal law already allows active and retired law enforcement officers to carry anywhere.
Other than the removal of the background check (which they should pass anyway) and the training requirement (which I would hope their police training would cover), what does this accomplish besides getting Knilans name in the paper again?

Define a fake name. Would "Beezow Doo-Doo Zopittybop-Bop-Bop" be automatically stricken as a "fake" name?

If you take the time to read the article, either in the actual printed paper or in the online version or squint and look at the photo of the front page (click on it in the lower right corner of this page), you will see the pay range is $12.57 to $17.30 plus benefits.

Nice story, but it happened 5 1/2 years ago. How is this "latest news"?

You are right nemesis, a FAIR SHARE is appropriate, but 38% of the lapse (give back) when UW System only accounts for 7% of the budget to begin with is not a "fair share".

Was there a second commercial aired? I ask because the only speaking role in the one I saw was done by Betty White.
