MADISON– Rep. LaKeshia Myers (D-Milwaukee), in response to a recent Urban Milwaukee article questioning her employment as a legislator and educator, released the following statement:
The truth is that, in both my employment capacities, I pay into the Wisconsin Retirement System (WRS), so there is no threat of a double pension. The facts are that my legislative record and district engagement speaks for itself. In just two short terms, I have passed a number of bills into law, hosted annual college fairs, blood drives, held quarterly district meetings, produced weekly legislative updates, and written a weekly newspaper column. However, I am most proud of my record of responsive constituent service and support of the district I serve. I have managed to do this while battling kidney failure, an organ transplant, a rejection of that organ, and daily dialysis. Mr. Murphy questioned missed committee meetings and my work ethic, well now he has an answer. This article was nothing more than a pre-emptive strike. I have expressed an intent to run for the State Senate, should Sen. Taylor get elected to the Milwaukee Municipal Court. Not everyone likes an independent thinker and Murphy was used as a hired gun. Too bad he was shooting blanks.” |
