'Tired lawmakers, tired ideas'

Pat Kreitlow, former TV news anchor turned candidate for State Senate in the Eau Claire area, can hold his own in a war of words or a battle of wits.

He squares off against Dennis York, who defended the Republican-run state legislature from charges it is focused on the wrong, wingnut agenda at the expense of other, more important issues that actually would have a positive impact on people's lives.

York listed 329 bills the legislature has passed this session, as though quantity could substitute for quality.

Kreitlow rebuts him quite effectively in his blog item, titled, "Tired lawmakers, tired ideas."
