On this week’s episode of “Rewind,” WisPolitics.com’s JR Ross and the Capital Times’ Briana Reilly discuss the state’s $4.4 billion budget windfall, the Joint Finance Committee’s progress on the state budget, Gov. Tony Evers’ reelection announcement and a state Supreme Court ruling that local health officials don’t have the power to close schools.

The WisOpinion Insiders, Chvala and Jensen, comment on Gov. Tony Evers’ announcement to seek a second term amid a $4.4 billion budget windfall.

Each embraces a no-drama, commonsense approach to the pandemic and the economy, which is spot-on both on policy and politics.

The rationale behind laws to limit learning about racism.

Gov. Tony Evers has more than $5 billion at his disposal to spend on any number of COVID-19-related relief efforts, yet he can’t seem to find a fraction of that windfall to re-open the storied historical sites his administration ordered shut down last fall.

Two very different COVID-19 responses produce different economic outcomes in Hudson, Wis., and Stillwater, Minn.

Former Wisconsin governors Jim Doyle, a Democrat, and Scott Walker, a Republican have come together for the better health of our state. They have joined efforts to enlist their fellow citizens to get vaccinated so to stem the spread of COVID.

It’s breathtaking the amount of money Republicans are determined to turn away on behalf of the people of Wisconsin.

That’s how much federal pandemic aid city is getting. A participatory budget process is needed.
