She's back in Wisconsin! And she's doin' her usual. McGinniss notes:

Turns out that Vince Beltrami, president of Alaska AFL-CIO, already wrote about those glory days – on Feb. 19, in the Anchorage Daily News.

He wrote, “She belonged to my union, the IBEW, for about a minute, over twenty years ago, one summer, in a temporary position.”
