E. Michael McCan’t (D-Corruption) has decided to take his enhanced pension benefits home next year (he never signed away one red cent of them). The Journal Sentinel story has some interesting tidbits about McCann’s career:
- Back when he was first elected in 1968, both The Milwaukee Journal and Milwaukee Sentinel listed his home address and marvelled that a bachelor would be elected to public office.
- By 1970, he had earned his nickname of McCan’t so well that the Milwaukee Policeman’s Union (the forerunner of the Milwaukee Police Association) illegally campaigned against him for not prosecuting violent crimes vigorously.
- McCann is, strangely enough, pro-life.
