Milwaukeean by birth, Kiwi by choice, progressive always. Believer in the power of the editorial cartoon. I used to chef. Now I hang out with my wife, play punk rock guitar, umpire New Zealand baseball, and play with my deaf dog.

My email to Chris Penk:

Hi Mr Penk,

My wife and I very recently moved into your electorate, and I'm sorry to say the first time I've had the occasion to note how you've voted, I see you voted to advance, under urgency, the "Equal Pay" Amendment.

I have to say, you're off to a bad start in our eyes. You voted for a horrible bill, and the only "urgency" I can see is your government's need to find money between the couch cushions to pay for tax breaks for landlords and extra defence spending. Not good enough.

Thanks for taking the time to consider my input. I'm sure you'll do better next time.

Best,
Steve Perlstein
