    Baraboo/Sauk county area carpool for WCI picnic?

    Hi guys, Who wants to carpool to Pewaukee on the 24th from the Baraboo area? If we can meet in a central location and use only one or two vehicles I'm all for saving the gas; or in my case diesel fuel.

    After calling my representative today and talking to a member of his staff, the staff member caught me off gaurd when he asked me if I had a proposed bill. Well; I thought, "why not?!". So, I'm starting this thread for us to write our own bill and make it look as professional as possible...
