From WisPolitics … — State law didn’t allow the city of Racine to use a van to facilitate absentee voting during the August 2022 state primary, a judge has ruled. Judge Eugene Gasiorkiewicz in yesterday’s decision also found the places
May the Personal Property Tax rest in peace, and may our state continue to move toward a more streamlined, business-friendly environment that fosters growth and innovation.
The monumental decision by the court’s new majority brings hope for a brighter future for all of Wisconsin.
The Freedom to Vote Act and the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act — bills introduced during this Congress — would safeguard every vote, ensuring our democratic process remains secure and serves its intended purpose: government of, by and for the people.
As a new book on rural voting habits details, the caricature of rural communities full of Bible-thumping, gun-toting culture warriors badly misrepresents the politics of the countryside.
The migrant airdrops and inhumane bus rides, exacted by republican governors like Greg Abbott in Texas and Ron DeSantis in Florida, are not solely about border control. By way of influencing policy, it’s also a waste of time and disingenuous.
Sheehy provides parting thoughts as his tenure as MMAC president closes.
Jan. 9 is National Law Enforcement Appreciation Day, a chance for the public to thank the men and women in blue who risk their lives for us and strive to keep us safe.
Assembly Republicans introduced a medical marijuana plan that would use five state-run dispensaries rather than private outlets.
Why did Washington county executive dump on Milwaukee?
The community has a big challenge to figure out a replacement for an institution and property that has served us all well for many years. Community leaders were very creative in 1968 when they established the University of Wisconsin-Washington County. They will need to be equally creative this time around.
Sen. Duey Stroebel says he’s seeing bipartisan support for a bill that would provide $7.5 million in state matching funds for the Wisconsin BioHealth Tech Hub effort. The Saukville Republican and Rep. Amanda Nedweski, R-Pleasant Prairie, recently sent a co-sponsorship
There’s no escaping the loud, expensive year ahead.
The president would, with a robust campaign, almost certainly have scored a major victory over the other Democrats, earning favorable headlines and positioning himself to win the state in November of 2024 — as he did in November 2020. An uncontested presidential primary win will barely get a mention.
My hope is that the Legislature does its due diligence to get maps that are worthwhile and inclusive for the people, honor the Voting Rights Act of 1965 and do not sacrifice Black and Latino communities.
Do we head into 2024 in the dark about what constitutes an acceptable address? It sounds rather small, but it still remains a key part of the verification process of voter and witness information.
It’s time for a compromise between Democrats and Republicans, not a GOP-led shutdown if Republican ultimatums are not accepted. People are dying because of GOP games and inaction.
I will continue to stand up and speak out against attempts to undermine trust in our elections and democracy.
