Gov. Tony Evers says the Trump administration is “betraying” Wisconsin’s farmers by cutting nearly $6 million in funding for a program that helps bolster local food supply chains. The guv’s office yesterday released a letter from the USDA informing DATCP
Whether through misleading arguments, frustrating questions on “electability” or problematic tough-on-crime ads, campaigns for state Supreme Court have gone in a troubling direction.
After six years in office, Evers has consistently argued that the removal of lead pipes is a top health priority, but has failed to offer a clear and strategic plan to achieve this objective.
Belmont, Wisconsin, hadn’t been all that close to the political action since it briefly served in 1836 as the first capital of the Wisconsin Territory. But on Saturday, the quiet village of 989 people felt like the hottest spot on the political map.

Races for state superintendent of public instruction are officially nonpartisan. But that’s not the reality in contests for the state’s top education post.
