Wisconsin legislator pulls child support bill (Joel Kleefisch, R-Oconomowoc) -- *Kaboom*

But Kleefisch issued a news release Tuesday that said he had pulled the bill back, saying he was "frustrated by the amount of misinformation the bill has encountered." The committee dropped the bill from its Wednesday hearing calendar.

"I believe a fair and equitable child support system, one that fundamentally recognizes the value of both parents in the upbringing of a child, is an important issue and one that warrants serious conversation," Kleefisch said in the statement. "I have worked on this issue for a long time and I am hopeful that those who truly care about healthy family units will join me in the search for an equitable solution."

Kleefisch didn't say in the statement if he planned to revise the bill or if the proposal is dead. He responded to a text message from The Associated Press seeking further comment with, "I released a statement."

Eisenga's attorney, William Smiley, didn't immediately return messages Tuesday. Eisenga also didn't immediately return a message left for him at his company, American Lending Solutions.

From the Cap-Times

Eisenga's company, American Lending Solutions, was the largest violator of the state's "no call" list, contacting more than 1 million individuals on the list to solicit them with mortgage offers. Eisenga's company is not accredited by the Better Business Bureau as a result of that action and a number of customer complaints against the company, which currently has no positive reviews on the BBB website.

Eisenga put his children on BadgerCare, the state health care program intended for low-income families, despite a net worth estimated at $20 million.

1. Kleefisch made a damn fool of himself

and the statement he released is just so much bullshit. With so much bad news in Wisconsin it's been fun to watch Kleefisch take a beating over this nonsense. A mess of his own creation.
