He respects no one, maybe not even himself, and never seeks win-win outcomes.
By giving districts that financial flexibility and also pumping more state money into their coffers, while simultaneously holding the line on state taxes through what Walker calls the “prosperity dividend” of his restoration of fiscal sanity in Wisconsin, the state’s education budget is healthier than ever … and it no longer needs to rely on federal handouts.
An objective observer will tell you that Vukmir still fared well in the debate. However, she not only had to prevail over her election opponent, she also had to deal with the bias of the panel’s questions.
While emotions run hot in our current political environment, I still think it is important to sound some public support for AG Schimel’s mental health training initiative for educators.
Historically, the attorney general has exercised limited authority in Wisconsin. But under Schimel, the Department of Justice has expanded its practice of filing amicus curiae or “friend of the court” briefs in courts across the country, even in cases where Wisconsin residents do not have a direct or remote interest.

While traipsing around on the national stage Walker cut $800 million in education funding and authorized a lawsuit that would gut protections for pre-existing conditions. That’s the Walker story–putting political ambition ahead of everyday Wisconsin families. The ads urge Wisconsinites to tell Scott Walker to stand up for them. These 30-second spots are part of a statewide television buy. A
For all its flaws, The Wilderness podcast takes what I found was a serious and pretty honest deep dive into the history, mistakes and promise of the Democratic Party and of the political left.

According to the Post Crescent’s findings, over half of all cases involving DNA evidence have waited at least two months to be tested, while hundreds of cases have waited over three. When Schimel took office in 2015, testing rarely took longer than two months. “Brad Schimel’s incompetence and neglect have stood in the way of justice and safety for Wisconsinites for too long,” said Courtney Beyer, DPW spokesperson. “These are
