Wisconsin: The Disappearance of Martha Laning

http://cognidissidence.blogspot.com/2015/08/the-disappearance-of-martha-laning.html


Martha Laning, who took over the chair of the Democratic party in June in a contested race, has been missing in action. A quick Google search find quite a few stories about the election but nothing after that. Knowing that she has to have been doing something, I dug a little deeper.

...

Posted July 15, 2015Following is a statement from Democratic Party of Wisconsin Chair Martha Laning on the deal for a new Milwaukee Bucks arena.

“With the extreme divisiveness and polarization we’ve seen in Wisconsin over the past few years, bipartisan cooperation has become practically non-existent. So it’s incredibly encouraging that Democrats and Republicans in the Senate are working together now that the disastrous budget is over to reach an agreement on building a new Milwaukee Bucks arena.

“This project is good for workers, it's good for Milwaukee, and it's good for Wisconsin. Thanks to Senate Democrats for working with Republican leadership in crafting a deal that will create thousands of family-supporting jobs in Milwaukee.”




Laning seems to be emulating past chair Mike Tate. Let's hope she's better than that.
