FREE WHITEWATER

Daily Bread: August 14, 2008

Good morning, Whitewater

The City of Whitewater has scheduled no public meetings for today. It’s been a private sector, private life week.

On this day in Wisconsin history, in 1935, according to the Wisconsin Historical Society, “the Social Security Act was signed into law by President Franklin Roosevelt. The act, originally proposed to Congress under the name “Economic Security Bill” was drafted by the Committee on Economic Security, whose Executive Staff Director was Edwin E. Witte, economics professor at the University of Wisconsin and prominent social insurance expert.”
