OTHER STATES: Wisconsin County

From the Manitowoc Herald Times Reporter:

"The Calumet County Board has hit on a unique way to draw voters to the polls: Ask them whether they want to cut the state Legislature's pay. The board voted 11-10 Tuesday to ask county voters in a Nov. 7 advisory referendum if they would prefer a part-time legislature, with part-time paychecks, and as some county supervisors suggested, part-time damage."

This is the best way to make progress in the part-time movement - bring up the issue at all levels of government and hold politicians accountable.
