First Call, Community Impact and Volunteer Network programs are not "overhead". They are specific programs that benefit the community.
The pay of the head of the United Way in another part of the country has nothing to do with the local United Way.
As for the $232,661, I imagine this covers not only the wages of employees, but also the office rent, utilities, supplies, the direct fundraising costs and more.
For the record, I am not associated with the United Way, but I do know what it costs to run an office.

If you look closely at the picture, you will see the darkness on the back of the house is actually a vine, like ivy, that has grown up and across. Since this picture was taken recently, the leaves have fallen off.

Just a tidbit of info on contacting your legislators... A personally written message will have more impact than a mass mailed form letter. It only takes a few seconds to plug your info into a webform and click send and the staffers who screen the mail know this and only make a tick mark for or against on the tally sheet. A personal message will stand out and be noticed... and be more likely to be passed on to be actually read by the person who votes for or against the bill.

Maybe Sheridan is "dragging his feet" because so far Wood has only been CHARGED with a misdemeanor? It would be a little hypocritical to expel a member for being charged with something that the legislature doesn't have the guts to actually make a felony. After all, there is a prohibition against convicted felons from holding office, but not those convicted of misdemeanors.
"A 1996 constitutional amendment bars any candidate convicted of a misdemeanor which violates the public trust from running for or holding a public office. However, the legislature has not defined which misdemeanors violate the public trust. A candidate convicted of any misdemeanor is not barred from running for or holding a public office until the legislature defines which misdemeanors apply." WI form GAB-162
Sounds like the legislature should pass some laws to clean some stuff up first, then they can start saying someone can't serve the office voters elected them into.
The real reason Wood would get kicked out is to put the seat up for election. He is listed as Independent so he doesn't have any political base besides the voters in his district. If the voters want him representing them in Madison, who's business is it as long as there are no laws prohibiting it?
(And for the record, I think he should do the honorable thing and resign.)

On DMV closed Friday

One of the advantages of completely closing for the day is the additional cost savings associated with not operating the building. The heat can be left down, the lights and computers are off, etc. While this is not a huge amount per building, multiply that by the 4 or 8 (depending on agency) mandated furlough days and the number of state buildings. This can add up quickly.
