Hupy and Abraham, S.C. Join ABATE of Wisconsin in Lobby Effort

On January 24, 2006, Attorney Michael Hupy and accident investigator and ABATE of Wisconsin Founder, Tony “Pan” Sanfelipo, traveled to Madison, Wisconsin to participate in ABATE’s lobby day. The purpose of the lobby effort was to enlist support for SB528, the Roadway Users Responsibility Act.

Although there are eighteen sections to this bill, most notably the bill imposes stricter penalties for right of way violations and also allows motorcyclists to proceed through a red light at sensor actuated stop lights. The bill was introduced by Senator Dave Zien and co-sponsored by Representative Don Pridemore. 

Attorney Hupy and Sanfelipo are Life Members of ABATE of Wisconsin, and joined other ABATE members in speaking to a large contingency of lawmakers. The group, coordinated by ABATE’s Legislative Director, Dave Dwyer, had interesting and informative talks with both Senators and Representatives and even persuaded several more to sign on as co-sponsors of the bill. ABATE of Wisconsin Executive Director, Ed Williams, called the day a success and appreciated everyone’s efforts.
