Conservatively Speaking

State Senator Mary Lazich (R-New Berlin) represents parts of four counties: Milwaukee, Waukesha, Racine, and Walworth. Her Senate District 28 includes New Berlin, Franklin, Greendale, Hales Corners, Muskego, Waterford, Big Bend and parts of Greenfield, East Troy, and Mukwonago. Senator Lazich has been in the Legislature for more than a decade. She considers herself a tireless crusader for lower taxes, reduced spending and smaller government.

Honoring the Boy Scouts

Thursday night, I had the privilege to attend the Boy Scouts of America Potawatomi Area Council Annual Dinner at the Country Springs Hotel in Waukesha.

It was an honor to congratulate and present awards to the 2007 Eagle Class, the largest in the history of the Potawatomi Area Council.

I firmly believe Scouting is the finest organization for youth in America.  One of my greatest honors as a state Senator is to meet and recognize Eagle Scouts.  An Eagle Scout is an outstanding individual in the direction of a productive future, ensuring our great country will be in good hands.

I am the author of two resolutions in the state Legislature honoring the accomplishments and achievements of the Boy Scouts of America.

Here is the Senate Joint Resolution  and the Assembly Joint Resolution.

These fine young people and the many scouting volunteers deserve recognition and continued support.

Senator Lazich

As a proud member of the Boy Scouts of America for the past 57 years,

Father and grandfather of Eagle Scouts, and a few that did not quite  make Eagle, I heartily agree with your comments.

Thank you to the Wisconsin Legislature, for honoring the BSA as we approach our 100 year anniversary

Scouting has always been a way of turning our youth into fine,

outstanding young men.  Lately it has been attacked by Political

Correctness.
