AASEW Cancels "Meet Your Legislators" Day Due To Protests In Madison

AASEW
Written By Tristan R. Pettit, Esq.

The Apartment Association of Southeastern Wisconsin (AASEW) Board of Directors decided today to cancel its very popular "Meet Your Legislators" Day in Madison which was planned for Wednesday, March 16, 2011.

The goal of "Meet Your Legislators" Day was to meet with several state politicians to voice the concerns of rental property owners with regard to our industry. Many of the politicians that we have spoken with recently indicated that they would not have time to meet with us due to the constant meetings and the protests at the State Capitol.

The AASEW was also concerned that even if meetings could be scheduled, it would be difficult to have the politicians full attention. Obviously those legislators that are actually appearing for work have their hands full with other important matters.

As such, the AASEW has regretfully, canceled the trip to Madison. It is our hope that we can reschedule the trip in the future once things settle down in Mad-Town.

I apologize for the inconvenience that this may have caused those members that had already registered for the event.
