	JS Online: Kleczka won't run again
		Jerry Kleczka (D-Wis.) holds his sheltie, Colby, as he speaks in Washington in 1999 about fur coats made from the hair of domestic animals.
		Kleczka's move is particularly surprising because post-census redistricting removed the Waukesha County portion of the 4th District and added Milwaukee's north side.
		Kleczka termed the recently passed Medicare bill "a bad deed" because he believes the prescription drug benefits for seniors were "puny" and the law will privatize Medicare and enrich providers.

	Kleczka-Ryan Bank ID Theft Notification Proposal Adopted
		Kleczka and Ryan first sponsored their Identity Theft Consumer Notification Act last year after it was discovered that over 250 customers of a Pewaukee bank branch had personal information stolen.
		Compounding the problem for the customers was the fact that they were not told that their personal and financial records had been compromised until eight months after bank officials learned of the theft.
		Kleczka and Ryan’s legislation, H.R. 818, would also require that banks take additional steps to help affected consumers remedy any damage to their credit history and reimburse them for any losses incurred, two provisions which were not included in the proposed rule.
