Check out the story in Oak Creek Patch, which had an interview with Rep. Honadel today. From it:
The 56-year-old welder and businessman said he looked at election results and found that, particularly in South Milwaukee, many people voted for both him and President Barack Obama.
He took those crossover votes as a tribute to his commitment to set politics aside and provide constituents good service.
“I’m a firm believer that if you don’t get caught up in all the fluff and politics, and you just do the job well, people will continue to reward you,” he said.
Honadel said mining legislation will be at the top of his agenda when the next session starts in January. He was a co-author of mining legislation proposed last session that was ultimately rejected. While opponents have voiced environmental and oversight concerns, a vibrant mining industry is important to help create jobs at local companies like Caterpillar, Honadel said.

Congrats to Mr. Honadel.
Maybe as a South Milwaukeean (sp?) he can help me get one of the alderpersons to interpret the dog ordinance for me? Or maybe he could ask his alderperson to take it up in a common council meeting. For some reason I have a feeling he wouldn’t be treated as badly as I have been asking for the same help. 🙂
