I'm probably pi$$ing in the wind, but I just wrote the following to our Secretary of State:Remember this next time you vote for Secretary of State. He was the only Democrat state wide officer that kept his job. We will know better next time.
The Honorable Douglas LaFollette
The Secretary of State
Wisconsin Dear Mr. Secretary,
I am writing to comment on your decision to delay publication of 2011 Wisconsin Act 35. The bill was enacted on 7-8-11 and you have chosen not to publish it until 7-25-11. Respectfully, sir, every day that the bill is delayed is another day that the law-abiding citizens of Wisconsin must endure without an adequate means of self-defense. In my opinion, it is unconscionable that you, as an elected official, are not doing everything within your power to protect the people of our state from the crime and violence perpetrated by a criminal element that carries any weapon it desires in any location they may choose to attack their victims.
Please reconsider your decision to delay this bill. Consider giving it the fast track treatment to help bring it on line as soon as possible; the good people of Wisconsin deserve no less.
Sincerely,

I'm aware of that; the "point" is that he is doing us as citizens a disservice by tweaking our noses with his power. He needs to know that we are watching him.What's the point? The "delay" in publishing not only figuratively, but literally doesn't matter in any way.

Great idea; why don't you do that? We'll follow up on your lead........
More justified would be disapproval of the DOJ....

Because it would be an exercise in voiding my bladder in the direction of higher air pressure.
Essentially we're attached to another object by an inclined plane wrapped helically around an axle.
More justified would be disapproval of the DOJ. All they have to do is design a simple form and publish it. When they get the applications, run a background check and print a card. The database / data entry work shouldn't take more than half a day. Just need a phone # / some way to check that a permit is valid when needed.
Essentially he agreed with Teej that the way the law read the late publication date wouldn't make any difference in the implementation of the law. I still don't understand why they would delay publication just because they can.... It would probably take a staffer 2 minutes to email the newspaper and arrange it. :question: I guess I'll try to make nice with the DOJ and see if the wind shifts....Dear Mr. --------,
Thank you for your email. Secretary of State Doug La Follette asked that I respond to your inquiry.
Senate Bill 93/Act 35 (relating to: going armed with weapons) was filed with the Office of the Secretary of State on July 11, 2011. Following normal procedure, since there was no emergency situation involved (see information on effective date in the Act below), the Office has designated the publication date for July 22, 2011, thus making the effective date July 23, 2011.
Please see language below from Wisconsin Act 35 for the information on effective date:
“Section 101.Effective dates. This act takes effect on the first day of the 4th month beginning after publication…”

I had an answer from the Secretary of State's office in my in-box at 7:44 this morning, which is way more than I expected....Essentially he agreed with Teej that the way the law read the late publication date wouldn't make any difference in the implementation of the law. I still don't understand why they would delay publication just because they can.... It would probably take a staffer 2 minutes to email the newspaper and arrange it. :question: I guess I'll try to make nice with the DOJ and see if the wind shifts....
