Wisconsin Senator To Address Dems

Wisconsin state Sen. Jon Erpenbach, among 14 Democrats who drove to Illinois last year to deny a quorum on controversial budget legislation, will be the keynote speaker at the Kootenai County Democrats 10th annual Democracy Dinner on April 28. “He’s a dynamic speaker and a communications specialist when he’s not a legislator,” said Jerry Shriner, a spokesman for the local Democrat group. “We’re looking forward to hearing him.” The event at the Coeur d’Alene Casino starts at 6:30 p.m. with a no-host social, followed by dinner at 7 p.m. Tickets are $40 per person, and $500 for premium tables near the speakers. Tickets can be purchased at www.kootenai-democrats.org or by contacting Shriner at 667-2949 or jerryshriner@gmail.com / Brian Walker , Coeur d’Alene Press. More here.
