Want a Plasma TV? Well, until another senator messed it up, you could of just become a Wisconsin State Senator. According to the Chicago Sun-Times:
A Republican senator says she's blowing the whistle on Senate leaders for trying to hang plasma TVs in all 33 senators' offices as part of a C-SPAN-style legislative cable network.
But legislative leaders say Sen. Cathy Stepp (R-Sturtevant) is exaggerating and she was never privy to contract negotiations with the WisconsinEye network.
Sen. Stepp is quoted in the report:
''Most of my constituents cannot afford a plasma television of their own, and I strongly believe that we are sending the wrong message to the public if we install this perk in our offices -- regardless of who is paying the cost,'' Stepp said in her letter.
Good for her! Bet someone slashes her tires though.
