(Green Bay, WI): County Board Backs Official English
The Brown County Board of Supervisors passed an official English law 16-9 last night, despite the usual smear campaign.
Yesterday, I spoke to Supervisor Pat Collins who has fought this fight for months. He is one determined soul, which is fitting for an elected official in former Congressman Toby Roth's Congressional district. (In 1994, Roth led a fight on the floor of Congress to repeal bilingual education mandates, an effort strongly supported by English First.)
Now the battle moves to Brown County Executive Nancy Nusbaum who "declined to make a commitment one way or another on a veto Wednesday evening."
