Edit request

This article currently contains a false statement in the "Equal Pay" section. It states there that Glenn Grothman spoke "in support of Governor Scott Walker's decision to repeal the Wisconsin Equal Pay Act." But Wisconsin never had an "Equal Pay Act," and Scott Walker never repealed any such act. Instead, the recently repealed bill was called the Wisconsin "Equal Pay Enforcement Act," and it actually has nothing to do with the federal "Equal Pay Act."

Also, the article misleadingly states that "Grothman stated that he believes that money is more important to men than to women, and women do not therefore need as much." It would be more correct to say that he speculated that this might be true, since he prefaced his statement with "you could argue." He never made an unambiguous statement of belief, but merely put forth an argument.

I believe corrections are necessary in these two instances to maintain Wikipedia's neutral point of view regarding this controversial living figure.

His Kwanzaa quote can be extended to today's gaffe "Of course, almost no black people today care about Kwanzaa -- just white left-wingers who try to shove this down black people's throats in an effort to divide Americans." — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.185.3.4 (talk) 01:38, 3 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment on Badgercare Extension

State Sen. Glenn Grothman, R-West Bend, said in the special session the decision to not extend coverage to childless adults was a “philosophical one” hinging on the fact that taxpayers’ dollars would be used for “people not working as hard as they could be.”

Residence Update Request

Could somebody please update Glenn Grothman's residence to "Campbellsport, WI"? This would include both in the box with picture on the right and in the "2014 Congressional Campaign" section of the article. I would suggest changing "Grothman's home in West Bend is located in the 5th District, represented by fellow Republican Jim Sensenbrenner." to "Grothman moved to Campbellsport, in the 6th district, after announcing his intent to run for the congressional seat." Grothman's official residence, as listed on the nomination papers submitted to the Wisconsin Government Accountability Board, can be found on page 14 of the following link: http://gab.wi.gov/sites/default/files/page/nomination_paper_tracking_08_12_2014_partisan_prim_14421.PDF [1]

Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. That list might support a simple change, but it couldn't even start to support "....moved...after announcing his intent to run..." This also sounds somewhat controversial, which is good with respect to the likelihood of finding news sources and bad in that edit requests should not be controversial. Once you find a source, please start a conversation with the other editors about how to include this. If no one objects after a day or two, I'll make a well-sourced change. Thanks, Older and ... well older (talk) 04:22, 13 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the response. A source information on his changing residence can be found at: http://www.jsonline.com/blogs/news/253734901.html Perhaps the phrase "Grothman's home in West Bend is located in the 5th District, represented by fellow Republican Jim Sensenbrenner." should be changed to "Grothman did not reside in the 6th district when he made his announcement[2], but had a residence in Campbellsport (in the 6th district) at the time of his filing of nomination with the Wisconsin Government Accountability Board.[3]

Do you think that would be a better way of phrasing the information to be less controversial? I did not think that Grothman moving would be controversial. Members of Congress are not required to live in the district they represent, so he would not have been required to move at all, even if he were elected to the Congressional seat.

It is the conflation of moving with the announcement which strikes me as controversial. I have no interest in this guy's candidacy, I don't even know who he is, but when people talk about the reasons a person moved or want to make it clear that his residence was different when he said something than when he filed some document, there is a degree of controversy. Maybe not, but better to discuss this with the other editors before adding it to the article. (A non-controversial version might read: "In 2014, Grothman moved to Campbellsport, from West Bend.")

Supports Ugandan Anti-Gay Laws?

Some of Grothman's political opponents have acccused him of supporting Uganda's anti-gay laws. Is this true? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 172.243.148.28 (talk) 12:19, 14 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
