The candidates' economic policies
From: NewsTrove.com
"Since the 2000 election, we’ve weathered the technology bust, corporate scandals, two wars and the requisite economic mobilization to fight them and oil price instability.

Portage Daily Register Online : News
From: NewsTrove.com
"Sheriff has tools, not toys
I am responding after reading a Mailbag letter in the Oct. 16 edition of the Portage Daily Register written by Stan Redlab. It is unfortunate that the "real" Stan Redlab doesn't have enough courage to use his real name! Through avenues available to the public, it is apparent Stan Redlab does not exist.
Even more troublesome is that the arguments in Stan Redlab's letter are just as "phony" as his name. I too am a concerned Columbia county resident and believe in the freedom of speech and factual criticism."
Portage Daily Register Online : News
From: NewsTrove.com
"It appears Democrat Meagan Yost is considerably more prepared this time around as she challenges Rep. Eugene Hahn for his seat in Wisconsin's 47th Assembly District.
In 2002, it was only about a week before the filing deadline for the 2002 election that "I just happened to find out from a friend that Gene was running unopposed," Yost said. It was thanks largely to a parade she entered that she got enough signatures to get on the ballot, she said.
This time, however, even Hahn sees that Yost is more prepared. "She's put up a lot more signs that she did in 2002," he notes."
