Carpenter Still Missing, Misses MMSD Meeting

Tim Carpenter and the 13 other Democratic senators avoiding Madison in protest of Gov. Scott Walker’s budget-repair bill have now been gone for 11 days.

The 14 senators, including Carpenter, who is one of two senators that represents Greenfield, are in Illinois to deny a quorum in the state senate.

This morning, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported that Carpenter, along with Lena Taylor, another Democratic senator from Milwaukee, missed a Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage District Commission meeting Monday.

Carpenter sits on the commission’s operations committee.

Carpenter, who last week in a television interview, has not responded to an interview request by Greenfield Patch.
