Shorewood lawmaker says mining bill was a back-room deal that will "severely weaken" Wisconsin's environmental protections.
State Rep. Sandy Pasch Thursday criticized Republican lawmakers for passing a state mining bill she described as "broken beyond repair." The Shorewood Democrat, who is the assistant minority leader in the Assembly, said the authors of the bill "clearly did not listen to the significant concerns that have been voiced across the state — rather, they chose to craft an extreme and polarizing bill that will severely weaken environmental and public health protections. “This bill grants the mining industry special exemptions from environmental and public health protections that other industries must follow, and it explicitly states that drinking water contamination by mining companies is acceptable," Pasch said in a statement. "This is out of …

In the aftermath of the tragic shooting in Connecticut — which left 27 people dead — Americans have been trying to find some sense or understanding of how such a terrible act could have taken place. As the facts and evidence continues to get sorted out, we must ourselves sift through the speculation and consider that there were likely many factors that influenced 20-year-old Adam Lanza to commit such horrific acts. What we must not do is allow this devastating event to incite more hate and anger and contribute to our already overheated political culture. While there will certainly continue to be disagreements on matters of policy and politics, we must come together to show support for those lost during the tragedy and engage in a sincere …

Planned Parenthood filed suit Wednesday alleging the recently enacted state law — which subjects doctors who perform "pill abortions" to the risk of criminal penalties — doesn't clearly define procedures to satisfy the measure.
State Rep. Sandy Pasch is standing alongside Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin as the non-profit reproductive healthcare provider has filed a legal challenge to the state law that imposes possible criminal penalties against doctors who perform medication-induced abortions. Signed into law in April, Act 217 requires patients and doctors take a series of steps and physicians establish that women aren't coerced into abortion, before receiving or administering a so-called "pill abortion." Planned Parenthood filed suit Wednesday in U.S. District Court in Madison and lists Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen and the Medical Examining Board as defendants, according to the Wisconsin State Journal. The legal challenge claims the law does not clearly …

Democrat Sandy Pasch is unopposed in general election for newly drawn Assembly seat
Incumbent Democrat Sandy Pasch is facing no opposition in her bid for the 10th State Assembly District seat on the Nov. 6 ballot. Pasch has served in the State Assembly since 2009, in the 22nd District. She is currently Assistant Assembly Democratic Leader and chair of the Milwaukee Democratic Legislative Caucus.

The 10th District's new boundaries came…
