My goodness. It looks like I won't visit THAT mound.
You do know that the State of Wisconsin pays a proclaimed witch, who has renamed herself Rev. Witch, to minister to prisoners who claim WICCA as their religion? It's another one of the many Wisconsin taxpayer rip offs. I think she gets about 35k from the state.
Wisconsin also builds half way houses for sexually violent predators all over the state. They are trying to put one in near us because I guess we don't have our fair share of sexually violent predatoors in our neighborhood.
Mr. Frank Joseph Collin will fit right in. :(
If I didn't think they'd get Senators, I'd start a push to force Madison & Milwaukee out of the state. Michigan proves that a state does not have to be contiguous. The two cities could join up with Chicago & Minneapolis and those of us left behind would be living in red states.
I remember hearing about that. I don't see the article I read it in on Google, but I found it at ProQuest:

Jim Stingl, "No spells cast from prison just yet",

"Providing a dazzling demonstration of how to stir up a public relations nightmare, the state Department of Corrections announced last week that a Wiccan named Jamyi Witch would henceforth administer to the spiritual needs of prisoners at Waupun. . . Jamyi changed her last name from Welch to Witch as a conversation starter. . .About 30 inmates out of a population of 1,200 are Wiccan. . . There was a prison inmate in Michigan who converted to Wicca and then sued because the prison wouldn't let him use incense in his rituals. The incense wasn't essential to his rituals, the prison claimed, and besides that it could be used to mask the odor of marijuana or spud juice. Having no direct experience with life in the big house, I had to look up this last term. It's cell-brewed booze. The inmate won the lawsuit. Ms. Witch has been ministering to inmates on a voluntary basis the past two years. Now she'll get about $32,000 a year as a full-time job. . ."
