Robin Vos has said he took a free trip with lobbyists to London because it would further his study of Winston Churchill.
Which is important, given all the two have in common.
Now it turns out that the trip also brought him in close proximity to some of the people who have brought payday lending to Wisconsin.

Over the past decade, Wisconsin Republicans have received tens of thousands of dollars in campaign donations from the leader of a title loan company that sent lobbyists along with Assembly Speaker Robin Vos on a free trip to London...
Vos, a Rochester Republican, has drawn notice this week for taking the four-day trip to England — an August excursion that contributed to the resignation Tuesday of his counterpart in Ohio.
Vos has defended taking the free trip, saying he followed state ethics laws in accepting it and never talked about legislation with the lobbyists for LoanMax, a Select Management title lending business.The connections are obvious: Look for Vos to cut ribbons when PayDay Winnie stores break ground in Wisconsin.
