Dear Speaker Fitzgerald:
This letter is to inform you that I am officially submitting my resignation as State Representative for the Seventeenth Assembly District, effective Monday, July 2, 2012. It has truly been an honor to have had the opportunity to represent Milwaukee in the Wisconsin State Legislature. Serving in the Assembly has been both challenging and rewarding. During my tenure here I have learned a lot about politics, and even more about what's important in life. As I begin a new chapter of my life, I do so with a new awareness of, and focus on, what matters most.
Sincerely,
Barbara L. Toles
State Representative
17th Assembly District

Dear Chief Clerk Fuller:
I recently noticed an error in the Journal of the Assembly for March 15, 2012.
I asked unanimous consent to be recorded as voting "no" on the question of concurrence in Senate Bill 262. The journal correctly indicates my request and that it was granted.
The journal then indicates that I made a similar request on the next question, which was to withdraw Assembly Bill 355 (relating to exempting rules promulgated by the Government Accountability Board from certain administrative rule-making procedures involving the approval of the governor) from the Assembly Committee on Election and Campaign Reform. As a co-author of AB 355 and the ranking Democratic member of the committee in question, I supported the motion to withdraw the bill from committee and did not request that my vote be changed from "aye" to "no".
A1031
I ask that a copy of this letter be entered in the Journal.
Thank you for your assistance in this matter.
Sincerely,
Kelda Helen Roys
State Representative
81st Assembly District
