All this has nothing to do with symptoms of modern politics. During many of his years in the state Legislature, Conradt also was Bovina town chairman and a member of the Outagamie County Board. Conradt had served an apprenticeship on the latter two before assuming a position where he could write policy and set funding at a state level. He was more aware of the needs and what effect the state could have on local government. Most of our state legislators are professionals, being elected to their elevated posts without the practical experience of the old-time politicians like Conradt.
Experience is a great teacher.
