WASHINGTON -- U.S. Rep. Tom Petri spent part of Martin Luther King Day visiting Timothy Hopfensperger's fifth grade class at the Tullar Elementary School in Neenah where he discussed our constitutional system and the job of a congressman.

Petri said he was impressed with the students' questions and level of interest. "We hear a lot of criticism, but we don't recognize the fact that while there are some young people that get into trouble and aren't trying to do a good job, most are pretty serious at the end of the day. And that certainly was the case there," he said
