More investment in the actual laborers will better serve everyone.

It took me 35 years to understand Dad and Mom suffered from a disease, not a moral weakness.
My question: “Which state is better? Minnesota, Wisconsin or Iowa?” The result? It turns out that the survey’s respondents out-Midwesterned me.
Seniors would see a new tax break on their retirement income, while others would see some of their wages taxed at a lower rate under a GOP plan the Joint Finance Committee approved along party lines.
The bulk of the increase in the GOP motion — approved 12-4 along party lines — would go into special education. That includes $229 million in the main fund used to reimburse districts for special education costs and another $54.6 million for high-cost special education.
Co-chair Howard Marklein, R-Spring Green, told reporters ahead of the committee meeting this evening that he tax cut will include expanding the income now covered by the second-lowest of the state’s four tax brackets.
Authors of a bill to enter Wisconsin into a multi-state licensure compact say it would break down employment barriers for cosmetology professionals looking to work in the state. Sen. Andre Jacque, R-New Franken, and Rep. Joy Goeben, R-Hobart, are circulating
Wisconsin’s public schools need resources that are flexible, spendable, and predictable – ones that allow local districts to address their unique needs.
Gov. Tony Evers proposed spending $480 million on Child Care Counts.
Wisconsin’s governor needs to do what so many other Democrats have failed to do and step aside when the time is right.
In Wisconsin alone, confirmed wolf depredations have increased steadily, as have livestock, hunting dogs, and even pets. Farmers in Ashland, Iron, or Douglas Counties aren’t fighting myths; they’re dealing with shredded flesh and silence from the state.
State Bar leaders deliberately violated their own vision statement by refusing in any way to push back against President Donald Trump’s blatantly illegal executive orders attacking lawyers, without whom the rule of law cannot exist “within a fair and accessible justice system.”
Congress’ long-awaited reconciliation bill includes a tax hike on private charitable foundations to foot the government’s spending bill.
This loophole is the result of a minor policy change Congress enacted more than 20 years ago that has allowed foreign cigarette manufacturers to claim refunds on taxes they haven’t actually paid.
County would have gotten $1 billion more since 2003 if funding kept up with inflation.
You’d be surprised by the range of ideas and proposals by Capitol newcomers.
Leftists join conservatives in striking down Wisconsin’s nutty Supreme Court.
Instead of investing in our students on the front end, your state government is deliberately passing the buck, transforming a state responsibility into a localized property tax hike.
Line 5 is a privately owned property, existing only to generate profits for Enbridge.
The erasure of history has been used to do harm, maintain power, and silence painful reckoning.
