In his book Throw Them All Out Peter Schweizer argues that members of Congress often take advantage of inside information in their stock trading.
But, he praises Jim Sensenbrenner who did NOT trade any health related stocks during the 2009 health care debate, unlike many of his colleagues.

An amendment to the Coast Coast Reauthorization Bill would allow the boat to dump 3-5 tones of coal ash in the Lake on each trip.

Posted in EditorialsPosted in EditorialsI have no idea how much will be spent on the recalls in Wisconsin.I do know that many knowledgeable people in Wisconsin could have predicted the outcome from the outset. Alberta Darling was always safe as was Luther Olson. Dan Kapanke was always in trouble and Randy Hopper was the wrong candidate.This was an exercise good for media outlets, campaign consultants, and fundraisers. But only rubbed even more raw an already damaged political culture. It is all a shame
Employee Group to re-launch as Hubbard Wilson & Zelenkova, LLC
September 27, 2010
Madison, WI . . . Greg Hubbard, AJ Wilson and Ramie Zelenkova have purchased the Wisconsin
lobbying business of Broydrick & Associates, Inc. from firm founders Bill and Cindi Broydrick it
was announced today. Hubbard, Wilson and Zelenkova were Madison-based employees of the
firm, and will serve the firm’s clients under the new name of Hubbard Wilson & Zelenkova, LLC.
Broydrick & Associates, Inc. was founded in 1981 by Bill and Cindi Broydrick and has been
recognized as a leader among lobbying firms in Wisconsin since its inception. “Broydrick &
Associates always found the most cost efficient and effective solution to what seemed like at first
intractable problems,” said David Boerke of The Boerke Company, Inc.
“We’ve been in business since 1981,” said Bill Broydrick. “Cindi and I realized several years ago
that we needed a succession plan and we’re so glad we have been able to work with Greg, AJ and
Ramie to make this happen.”
The Broydricks said it was important to them to sell their Wisconsin lobbying business to people
who share their same tenacity and commitment to service to their clients.
“We’ve had the opportunity to work side-by side with Greg, AJ and Ramie, so we know their work
ethic and their abilities. Cindi and I know that our Wisconsin clients will continue to be well-served
by the team at HWZ,” Broydrick noted.
“We’ve worked with Broydrick & Associates for over 14 years and have been very pleased with
their work,” said Joel Haubrich, We Energies Manager of Government Affairs. “The transition has
been smooth and we look forward to continuing our relationship with Hubbard Wilson &
Zelenkova, LLC.”
In addition to We Energies, Hubbard Wilson & Zelenkova, LLC will continue to represent more
than 50 clients, including Plumbers Local 75, Independent Care Health Plan, JPMorgan Chase,
YWCA of Greater Milwaukee, Northwestern Mutual, Easter Seals Southeast Wisconsin, and the
Association of State Prosecutors.
“We are excited about the new opportunity and will continue the tradition of hard work and success
for our clients at HWZ,” said Zelenkova.
Also joining HWZ as employees will be long-term Broydrick employees Tim Elverman and Lynn
Morgan, who will work out of the new firm’s Milwaukee office.
The Broydricks will continue to own and operate their federal government relations practice in
Washington D.C., which has grown steadily over the past several years.
Posted in News RoomEveryone at UI Health and Texas Medicaid are pulling together. They are trying to complete the application while our little baby girl is clinging to life at the NICU at Scott and White Hospital in Temple, Texas.
Posted in Editorials and tagged multi-visceral transplant, Scott & White Hospital, Texas Medicaid, UI Health. Bookmark the permalink.There is a little two-month-old baby girl clinging to life at the Neo-natal unit at Scott and White Hospital in Temple Texas. She needs a multi-visceral transplant, which is offered at Riley Children’s Hospital in Indianapolis.
However, the process is stalled because of Texas Medicaid. The state requires the filing of 56 pages of an application including the requirement that the Board of Directors of the parent hospital, UI Health pass a resolution authorizing the child’s treatment.
Here’s the rub — the Board doesn’t meet until Feb. 24 (by then the little baby may expire). Time is not on her side.
We are working diligently on a solution. Stay tuned!

Bookmark the permalink.Recently the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel wrote a three-part series entitled One In A Billion about the miraculous cure found for a young boy through the use of genetic sequencing at Children’s Hospital of Wisconsin.
What the Journal didn’t discuss is how Children’s obtained some of the equipment that directly enabled the doctors to learn the genetic cause of the child’s disease.
Oh my God — it was an earmark!
Yes, an earmark: that so-called “scourge” of good government. The earmarking process can be misused (in which case the culprit can be thrown out of office).
