Dennis Smith to leave Wisconsin DHS for K Street Law Firm

Good riddance to Dennis Smith!  Goodbye, Sir, and don't come back!  You've been in Wisconsin for two years and no one I know has anything nice to say about you!  I hope you enjoy your new job on K Street working to continue to work to deprive poor people of 'entitlements' and 'empower' them towards independence, as opposed to really understanding that healthcare is essential for people and should be a right - not a privilege of those who can afford it.
