One local leader doesnt take April Fools Day as a joke April fools!
Even political figures need to lighten things up a little bit with all the stress in like, like the slumped economy, State Sen. Dale Schultz, R-Richland Center, said.
His office publicly circulated a statement Tuesday opposing a planned merger of Minnesota with Wisconsin.
Its not something I do every year, but as I travel along the 17 districts I see a lot of people under stress, he said, referring to the April Fools prank e-mail.
Schultz and his administrative staff worked on the presentation to create the statement to oppose a federal group working to make Washington D.C. the 50th state by combining two other states.
The groups name, listed toward the end of the formal-sounding e-mail is Federal Office of Large States, or FOOLS; their spokeswomans name, Ms. April Wun.
Schultz got some feedback early Wednesday on the public statement that went to the media and others, but few took it very seriously, he said.
I think by the time you get to the end (of the e-mail) people figure it out, Schultz said with a laugh.
