Capital Times (Rightfully) Questions Paul Ryan

On January 30, 2008, the Capital Times wrote a scathingly justified editorial questioning and damning Paul Ryan's vote against the economic stimulus package when part of his constituency is from...Janesville.

The Capital Times wrote:

The congressman's hometown has been devastated by the closing of the General Motors plant that was the mainstay of the local economy for almost 90 years. Parts suppliers in Janesville and surrounding communities are laying off workers and shutting their doors. Main Street businesses are cutting back. On the other side of Ryan's 1st District, communities are still reeling from the closings of major employers such as the Delphis Corp. plant in Oak Creek.

What kind of representation is this? Or rather, where is Rock County's "representative?"
