Wisconsin needs to solve its highway funding shortfall, and toll-financed Interstate modernization is a powerful tool for doing so.
It seems that almost every day there is a new outrage in our national, state or local politics.
When less than 16% of voters show up on election day, we have a problem. Let’s try to fix that problem.
Kooyenga may be the right answer to one of the left’s strongest voices.
The Trump administration’s first budget proposes deep cuts to the federal government’s research and development funding. Since World War II, federal investment has been by far the nation’s most important source of funding for basic science and has been behind nearly every breakthrough technology of the postwar era. This funding supports hundreds of private and public universities nationwide, including in Wisconsin.

Laura Gutierrez, the new secretary of DSPS, tells WisPolitics.com the agency’s “very excited” to work with lawmakers on a comprehensive overview of the state’s licensing requirements, which is aimed at seeing whether some of those should still be in place or get tweaked. Walker proposed in his biennial budget establishing a council within the Department of Safety and Professional Services tasked with that responsibility.
