Ethanol for everyone!

It's official. Wisconsin Assembly Speaker John Gard is running for Congress to replace Mark Green. According to the Green Bay News Chronicle,
Gard said he was making the announcement now to get it out of the way before debate begins on the state budget.

"We've just wrapped up the spring floor period and we're about to get into the budget which will take the next couple of months. I thought it was time to put some of the rumors to rest and let people know where I stand," Gard said.
You know, people like donors, lobbyists....

Anyways, we wish him luck.

Update! Someone tell the Speaker he doesn't have to shill for the corn industry. According to Scrappleface, cheese is the energy of the future. I'm not sure which will be worse for my lawnmower.
