Inside New Berlin


Senator Lazich's Aide's remarks should be retracted

By Linda Richter

While Senator Mary Lazich’s Jan. 4 blog calls Assembly Minority Leader James Kreuser’s words deplorable and says they should be retracted, she’s turned a blind eye to the deplorable words of her own legislative aide Kevin Fischer. Where’s Sen. Lazich’s public rebuke of Fischer’s antics and her insistence he retract his words and apologize?

Kevin Fischer, Sen. Lazich, and Greg Kowalski are regular bloggers on FranklinNOW.  Kowalski, a college student who just turned 21, is an appointed member of Franklin’s Environmental Commission. Kowalski’s blog is titled Today’s Concerns.
Although Fischer has refused to let Kowalski post comments on Fischer’s blog, he floods Kowalski’s with numerous caustic comments, many of which are insults directed at Kowalski and his blog’s readers.

For example: Click on Kowalski’s Jan 3 blog entry titled Some commenting issues and you’ll find that Fischer posted comments on it 38 times, starting from 8:51 pm and ending at 1:12 am. THIRTY-EIGHT!  Fischer’s 4- hour marathon of submitting mean-spirited, insolent remarks included calling Kowalski “Pillsbury Doughboy”, “Cheesecake Boy”, “cheesecake-breath”, “cry-baby”, and various other personal attacks. Far from being a wit, Fischer comes across as an immature, sarcastic bully picking on a college kid.

Fischer also taunted Kowalski with this gem: “You don’t pay Greg. You don’t even work full time. You have no clue what the real world is like. You are….what is the word….oh yes IRRELEVANT”

All of you high school & college students and other individuals not working full-time, should take note.  Senator Lazich's legislative aide apparently considers you irrelevant!!!!

Fischer also snidely referred to some of Kowalski‘s blog readers as “numbskull”, “butt-kisser”, “naïve”, “idiot”, “mommy”, “wussy”, etc. 

It’s disconcerting that someone employed as a state senator’s aide (funded by us taxpayers) resorts to such foul and unecessary name-calling.

I’m amazed at Sen. Lazich’s silence and inaction regarding Fischer’s deplorable remarks. The senator's legislative aide is mocking and insulting her constituents! Why does she tolerate it?
