Produktinformationen "Forward for the People"
"Sen. Risser relates his life story with candor, humor and an eye for the people and events that shaped Wisconsin's history over the past century. After naval service in Panama and law school in Oregon, he returned to Wisconsin and immediately assumed a leading role in the 1950s "Joe Must Go" effort to oust U.S. Sen. Joe McCarthy. Fast forward 60 years, and he was the senior senator among the 14 Wisconsin Democrats who famously left the state for Illinois in an effort to derail Gov. Scott Walker's Act 10 legislation. In between, he authored more than 240 bills that became Wisconsin law, many dealing with health issues like restricting smoking and promoting women's reproductive rights. He served as Wisconsin Senate president on several occasions and spent half a century on the State Building Commission. Always he was guided by a buoyant optimism and belief in government's ability to make people's lives better"-- Provided by publisher.
