Scott Walker, Milwaukee County Executive and top candidate for the republican nomination for Governor of Wisconsin, has at least one thing in common with Wisconsin Governor Jim Doyle. They both promised Attorney Michael F. Hupy that there would be no new helmet laws in Wisconsin.
Walker invited Hupy to sit with him at the Boy Scout breakfast fundraiser on Friday, February 11th (500 people attended; over $525,000 raised).
After hearing Keni Thomas of Blackhawk Down fame speak about his war experiences, Walker and Hupy discussed the issue of helmet laws and Walker promised if he were elected Governor he would not support or sign a bill requiring bikers to wear helmets in Wisconsin.
On March 15, 2004, the current Governor of Wisconsin, Jim Doyle, with Attorney Hupy at his side, signed a bill that prevents insurance companies from reducing damages for bikers injured while not wearing a helmet. Doyle publicly thanked Hupy for the work he did to get the bill passed including testifying at both Houses of the State Legislature and lobbying for the bill’s passage.
ABATE of Wisconsin members did a great deal of work which included lobbying and testifying in favor of the bill. Hupy is a life member of ABATE of Wisconsin, a member of A.B.A.T.E. of Illinois, and a member of ABATE of Indiana.
Hupy Law Firm accident investigator and founder of ABATE of Wisconsin, Tony “Pan” Sanfelipo, will be the head road guard again this year on Walker’s motorcycle ride June 25th – 30th, 2005. The ride will circle Wisconsin and go as far south as Rockford, IL.
