Robson honored by American Cancer Society

By CATHERINE IDZERDA ( Contact ) Monday, August 17, 2009 - 6:03 p.m.

The American Cancer Society presented Sen. Judy Robson, D-Beloit, with a plaque thanking her for her role in getting a statewide smoking ban passed.

The presentation took place at the Janesville Relay for Life on Aug. 7.

Karen Warmke of Janesville, lead advocacy volunteer for the local chapter, thanked Robson for her success in passing legislation.

“Sen. Robson is a long-time supporter of the Relay for Life and a leader on the statewide workplace smoking ban, which will reduce needless deaths and illness associated with smoking,” Warmke said.

Now that the U.A.W. Local 95 has lost most of it's influence to help her.I think Sen.Robson may be in for quite a fight.Personaly some of her issues she favors seems to be inlight of herself..

Congratulations, Judy! I wish you many, many more years of well-earned accolades and success as you graciously labor on behalf of all Wisconsin residents - even those who can't fully appreciate your efforts. Please keep up the GREAT job!!!
