Judy Robson Is Out

My former State Senator (before moving to Milwaukee) Judy Robson was removed from her position as Senate Majority Leader.

Sen. Russ Decker (D-Weston), who tried to oust Senate Majority Leader Judy Robson (D-Beloit) late Tuesday, says convicted felon and former party leader Chuck Chvala isn't behind his power play.

Asked on Tuesday night about that Capitol-conspiracy rumor involving Chvala, Decker said:

"I haven't talked to him -- man, a long time. He wasn't involved in this. That's a red herring. That's a ghost that's a long -- five years -- removed from this building."

Others aren't so sure, noting that four former aides to Chvala -- including his wife, Barbara Worcester, Decker's chief of staff -- are still Senate aides. They work for four different Democratic senators.

Seems a little fishy that he doesn't Chvala, but that his right hand person is Chvala's wife.

The word on the street is that the other Democratic senators weren't happy about the way negotiations went regarding the budget. I was unhappy to see my KRM train get dropped, however I'm not sure that you could trace that back to Robson and her negotiating or lack thereof.

Ironically, Robson is the only candidate I have ever donated money too. She sent out a letter to her constituents that mentioned her work on extending the Metra line from Harvard, Illinois to Janesville. I pulled out all the money in my pocket and mailed it back to her (all four dollars).
