Ryan, however, has never grown jaded, even as he toiled for years far removed from the spotlight as coach of Wisconsin-Platteville. When rival coaches shake a head in disbelief when told Bo encourages Wisconsin players to skip practice to attend class, Ryan replies: “Don’t you at your school?”.
Instead, the evening opened with a gospel choir singing “Oh Happy Day.”, “We want it to be a safe and fun event,” said Paula Treat, a longtime lobbyist who, as part of the #MeToo movement, has spoken out about a legislator (now dead) who threatened her career when she refused to perform sexual favors, Welcoming the crowd from the stage, Treat emphasized that security guards were bling baby shoes with swarovski crystals - christening flowergirl shoes - embellished booties - swarovski ballet pram shoes stationed around the club: “If you have any issues throughout the night, please let them know.”, The party’s tab is picked up by interest groups that lobby in the Capitol — several Indian tribes that run casinos, a cigarette company, a slot machine manufacturer and a council of trade unions, Providing a memorable evening of free booze and entertainment is one way the groups try to wield influence — not only on the Capitol’s power brokers but on the junior staff who are frequently gatekeepers..
