We were there!


Governor Doyle signed the statewide smokefree air bill into law on Monday! I picked Nate and Ben up from school early so we could be there.

From a kids perspective, it was a long wait in a hot, crowded room and then they couldn't actually see much of the Governor when he did get there.

The most interesting part: he signed the bill with multiple pens. The best part: both Nate and Ben got an official Governor Doyle pen and we celebrated with pizza at Ian's on State Street.

The law doesn't take effect until July 2010 ( don't get me started) but it does cover all work places in Wisconsin...the exemptions are cigar bars and outside.

Finally- Smokefree Wisconsin!
