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.

Prior to the start of my Town Hall Meeting last week at the Hales Corners Public Library, I presented a special state citation to Kara Walla. Kara will represent Wisconsin this week at the National Spelling Bee in the nation’s capital.
Kara Walla is a very bright young girl. I wish her the best of luck in the competition.
Here is the wording on the plaque I presented to Kara Walla:
WHEREAS, Kara Walla, a home schooled student from Hales Corners, has won the 2008 Badger State Spelling Bee; and
WHEREAS, Kara Walla comes from a family with a long tradition of great spellers, including her father Wade, who finished ninth in the Scripps National Spelling Bee in 1982, and her aunt Theresa Walla, who came in 27th in the National Spelling Bee 1976; and
WHEREAS, Kara Walla won the 2008 Badger State Spelling Bee by correctly spelling the word “ampicillin,” before which she correctly spelled the words “disciform,” “echinoderm,” “nenuphar,” “rejoneador,” “witloof” and “zeitgeber”; and
WHEREAS, Kara Walla will now represent the state of Wisconsin at the Scripps National Spelling Bee in Washington, D.C. on May 29; now, therefore
The Members of the Wisconsin State Legislature, on behalf of Representative Mark D. Gundrum and Senator Mary Lazich, under Joint Rule 7, hereby congratulate Kara Walla for winning the 2008 Badger State Spelling Bee, and wish her the best of luck as she represents Hales Corners and the State of Wisconsin in the National Spelling Bee.
