Bucher is tough on crime, criminals

\ Bucher is tough on crime, criminals WSJ Thurs 9/7/06 Spectrum The race for Attorney General of Wisconsin I talked to a sheriff in Waukesha County about his "top cop," District Attorney Paul Bucher, and what kind of man is he. He said Paul is a guy who looks you straight in the eye, tells you exactly where he stands, what should be done and then he does it. Bucher is not a "politician" in the negative sense that word is usually used. He also said Bucher is a "cop's cop" -- he personally prosecutes cop killers and nearly all murders in Waukesha County, and he's never lost a murder case in over 20 years as DA. Abuse your spouse and you will be charged in a week and ordered into mandatory treatment. Drunken drivers are in front of a judge within seven days. And if you kill someone while driving drunk in Waukesha, you'll do hard time. His county is the only one in the state that will be arresting, jailing, tracking and deporting illegal aliens who commit a felony, because Bucher made it happen. Restore the justice department to a law enforcement agency instead of a social experiment. Vote for Bucher on Sept. 12. -- Bill Richardson, Madison
