On this week’s episode, WisPolitics.com’s JR Ross and WisconsinEye’s Steve Walters discuss Gov. Scott Walker’s plan to give Foxconn-style tax credits to Kimberly-Clark; the end-of-session push for controversial bills; and the Joint Finance Committee’s vote on a $6.4 million sparsity aid bill this week.
The WisOpinion Insiders, Chvala and Jensen, talk about the potential outcomes of the Wisconsin gerrymandering case before the U.S. Supreme Court. Sponsored by the Wisconsin Counties Association and Michael Best Strategies.
Conservatives like to believe they have a lock on “hard-working” “common-sense” voters, in contrast to their “politically correct” opponents.
Mike Haas is the administrator of the Wisconsin Elections Commission. He looks out for the rights of voters. He does this with great aplomb and professionalism. Despite this, the majority party in the state Senate is clamoring for him to exit the post, acting as if he were some existential threat to them like, well, I don’t know, like Gandhi was to British rule in India.
The GreenBiz18 conference showed us that leadership can transcend politics. Wisconsin needs an economy that works for everyone, invests in innovative policies, technologies and infrastructure and takes the high road to protect workers and attract and retain talent. #GreenBiz18 shows us that “Doing well by doing good” is possible and becoming a high road state can help build a more vibrant and sustainable economy.
One of the Fox Valley’s largest employers has announced it is closing two Wisconsin plants and eliminating 600 jobs—but that won’t change its eligibility to claim a state tax credit that nearly eliminates the requirement for manufacturers to pay state income taxes. That’s because businesses can claim the credit even if they lay off workers, shutter factories, or ship jobs overseas.
Under a direct primary care model, which is not health insurance, patients pay a low monthly fee, typically between $50 and $100, depending on age, with no further co-pays or deductibles. For that fee, they receive unlimited 24/7 access to their primary care doctor.
Gov. Scott Walker may be right about some of the things in his State of the State speech, but he is only telling half-truths. In reality, Wisconsin has a long way to go in terms of disability rights.
Refusing legislative action to address “Dark Store” tax scheme
Council taking more power, mayor taking a beating.
