It Must Be Behind The Sendik's

State Senator Mary Lazich, one half of the dynamic duo in Madison, is a real camper. Or something like that.

The Chief parses her rationale for voting against the minimum wage increase:

Mary Lazich really must think that everyone who she represents and who reads her blog is retarded. That's the only explanation I can think of for what has to be considered one of the all time stupidest explanations for rejecting a piece of legislation:

You see, she voted against the raise in the state's minimum wage for the kids ... so they could go to camp:
I received several communications from a constituent very concerned about the impact on camps. The constituent correctly points out that the minimum wage increase bill contains a 24 percent increase for minor staff and an 11 percent increase for adult staff at camps. The increases that would go into effect this June would create an immediate $10,000 shortfall at the constituent’s camp. Camp directors do not want to see themselves put in the terrible position of contributing to increasing the unemployment numbers.

(emphasis added)
God forbid camp directors should be put in a position where they might not be able to hire a dozen 16 year-olds to play capture the flag, drink in the woods and try to score with the chicks at the girls camp across the lake!

Chief goes on to question where is the major campground in Franklin anyway. I think it is behind the new Sendik's. Or maybe in the Boomgaard district?
