Patrick Fuller
Assembly Chief Clerk
17 West Main Street, Suite 401
Madison, WI 53703
Dear Chief Clerk Fuller:
Last night the Wisconsin State Assembly voted on passage of 2011 Assembly Bill 147. I support the bill and was looking forward to voting with the majority of my colleagues in favor of passage. I accidentally hit the wrong button and, thus was recorded as voting no. Unfortunately, I did not immediately notice how my vote was recorded on the roll call board.
I am writing today to ask that the Assembly Journal show that it was my intent to vote in support of Assembly Bill 147. Thank you for your assistance in this matter.
Sincerely,
Janet Bewley
State Representative
74th Assembly District
