She has Abele's opinion, which is not good for that district, the county or the state.<br /><br />And maybe, if you worked on social skills, people might give a damn what you have to say.capperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16490172369913699310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5888314760091661875.post-57337658531662382532014-08-09T12:28:18.857-05:002014-08-09T12:28:18.857-05:00Herb Kohl's endorsement of Torhorst is terse a...Herb Kohl's endorsement of Torhorst is terse and generic, considering the situation he was put in.<br />Tia Torhorst's husband Brian Spahn (from Linked In) worked in Kohl's Senate office as Outreach Director from 2000-03. Later, he would serve as Coordinated Campaign Director for the DPW in the distastrous 2010 elections. <br />Tia's connections have always been a career plus. She is the daughter of longtime Racine County Circuit Court judge Allan "Pat" Torhorst, who previously was the City Attorney in Burlington. She (from Linked In) describes her work for Abele: "Collaborated with and communicated the County Executive’s message to the Board of Supervisors, including public testimony on a variety of subjects in response to concerns, questions and opinions while promoting the County Executive’s vision."<br />So, she was right in the middle of Abele's plutocratic dream with the GMC. Certainly not very "progressive" or democratic. <br />We all should urge Democratic Party voters to select David Bowen to represent the people of Assembly District 10.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5888314760091661875.post-80627369123609448492014-08-09T12:26:18.812-05:002014-08-09T12:26:18.812-05:00Your posts just keep finding new levels of crazy. ...Your posts just keep finding new levels of crazy. Anyone who thinks that Herb Kohl's endorsement is for sale very clearly doesn't know the first thing about him. He has more integrity than just about any elected official I can think of. The idea that he needs the money is equally laughable. You get that he just sold an NBA franchise for half a billion dollars, right? <br /><br />Maybe if you put less energy into trying to turn everyone who dares have even a slightly different opinion than your own into some incoherent comic book villain and more energy into, say, exercise, you'd have a bit more contentment in your life, more friends, and even lose some weight.
