Maureen Martin, the conservative Heartland Institute's legal counsel, passed away yesterday. According to a story appearing in the Milwaukee Journel-Sentinel's online edition, the 66-year-old attorney died in a fire at her rural Wisconsin home.

The Heartland Institute's obit on Martin noted that she offered legal ballast for selected issues, including the dismantling of Wisconsin's collective bargaining laws by current Republican governor Scott Walker. She provided significant support for aggressive interpretations of the right to bear arms. Martin also wanted to end what she considered abusive activities by certain attorneys and plaintiffs.
