Peterson: Add Wimmer to City Weekly List
At Salt Blog, Eric Peterson explains why he's adding Rep. Carl Wimmer to City Weekly's list of "approachable legislators," noting: "Wimmer in fact was the first legislator I ever approached in my brief citizen lobbying stint, back when I was a student at the U. Needless to say I selected him to talk to outside the House floor not because he was supportive of my issue, but because he's very recognizable (just try and spot another legislator that can bench press over 500 pounds). He disagreed, but he very politely heard me out. In becoming a reporter and frankly, writing a number of articles questioning Wimmer's association with Rick Koerber, ... I've still found Wimmer to be very approachable."
