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.
Congratulations St. James in Mukwonago!

I congratulate Marsha Grutzmacher and her students at St. James School in Mukwonago for winning the Midwest Regional Land category in the Lexus Eco Challenge. This marks the first time a Wisconsin school has won in any division.
Mrs. Grutzmacher and her students entered the second annual Lexus Eco Challenge, a national contest that encourages middle and high school students to develop and implement environmental programs that have a positive impact on their communities. The Lexus Eco Challenge was established to teach young people about the environment and to inspire them to create a better world.
St. James in Mukwonago has been invited to participate in the Final Challenge and a chance to win a grand prize of $50,000 in grants and scholarships. Should the school accept the Final Challenge, I wish St. James the best of luck in the competition during February and March of 2009.
Again, congratulations to Marsha Grutzmacher and all of her St. James students on winning the Midwest Regional Land Category in the Lexus Eco Challenge. I am very proud to have this award winning group in my Senate district.
