WI: State employee fired after telling about photo ID policy.
State employee fired after telling co-workers about photo ID policy:

http://www.jsonline.com/blogs/news/129469023.html

A low level state employee was fired Thursday after he sent an email to his fellow employees telling them about the state Department of Transportation's policy on giving out free photo identification cards for voting.

Chris Larsen, who had worked in he mail room at the state Department of Safety and Professional Services, sent an email Thursday morning to all employees at the agency's headquarters explaining that the DOT would provide photo IDs to people only if they specifically asked to have the fee waived.

A couple of hours later, Larsen was fired.

3. It does appear
that the employee took a risk by sending that email out.
