The Wisconsin Blue Book lists his voting address as 421 Maple St.,
Palmyra.  Wonder if he'd be up for a ride on the John Muir Trails over
the holiday weekend. It's in his back yard.

Nass is always listed as "R-Whitewater," but he actually doesn't live in
Whitewater.  In fact, his district stops at the Whitewater city limits
--http://www.legis.state.wi.us//Assembly/asm31/Adist31.pdf
<http://www.legis.state.wi.us/Assembly/asm31/Adist31.pdf>  -- so nobody
who lives in Whitewater has the opportunity to vote for -- or against --
him.

 

I don't know if that explains anything.

Nass is from conservative Walworth County. If it was good for the 19th
century, it is good for him. More specifically, he's from Whitewater,
which has a big Trek plant.

Not everyone likes Madison's new bike boxes.  No wonder.  They are so
European!  So unfair to cars!

State representative Nass is very concerned about our new bike boxes
here in Madison.  I think he needs to try riding a bike around town
before he makes statements about how "The bike boxes are an extension of
bias against motorists".

He is also quoted as saying, "boxes will cause bikes to cluster and get
in the way of motor vehicles when the light turns green."

My understanding is that this is exactly what the boxes are meant to do
(minus the "get in the way" part).  At particularly busy intersections
that are difficult to navigate safely on a bike, bike boxes help make
cyclists totally visible to cars, allow them to make a left turn safely,
and enable them to move out ahead of the cars once the light turns
green.  

"It's basically about liberal extremists in Madison who hate cars and
think everyone should bike to work," Nass said. "It is basically making
it difficult to use an automobile."

Basically, I take it he doesn't like bikes.  Here's to hoping
representative Nass encounters a lot of spirited opposition.
