Anyone who has participated in city government meetings and issues in Monroe likely knows who La Vern and Linda Isely are.
To put it mildly, the Iselys are interested in local, state and national politics and are happy to share their opinions with whomever they can. Youve gotta admire that in people.
One of the Iselys pet projects is railing against hedge funds and derivatives. If you read our letters to the editor with any regularity, you know what Im talking about.
The Iselys are on a special sort of Cloud Nine at the moment because they were recognized by a Democratic presidential candidate, a mention that has sort of made national news.
The Iselys attended a political rally in Madison by Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, N.Y., before the Wisconsin primary. La Vern wore a purple T-shirt, with the words Tax Hedge Fund Dealers! in yellow. (He also wore the same T-shirt a few days earlier when former President Bill Clinton was in Madison.)
Hillary noticed La Verns shirt, and she mentioned it in her speech.
I saw a sign over here someone has a T-shirt on, tax hedge fund dealers, Clinton is quoted by ABC News as saying. Well in this economy we are going to have a fair tax system again. A Wall Street investment manager, a hedge fund dealer, should not pay a lower percentage of taxes on his 50 million dollars worth of income.
The video clip was played on a number of national news shows, mostly because of the irony in the fact that the former first ladys daugher, Chelsea Clinton, works for a hedge fund group in New York.
The Iselys shared a copy of the ABC News blog story with the Times.
