Missouri Sen. Eric Schmitt deserved the ridicule he received after his attempt to catch former special counsel Jack Smith in a perjury trap imploded.
EMD Electronics is eligible for up to $4.5 million in performance-based state tax credits, as officials touted the company’s $200 million investment in the state. Gov. Tony Evers and WEDC Secretary and CEO John Miller on Friday applauded the opening
Economic summits are platforms for examining Wisconsin’s economic strengths, weaknesses and emerging challenges – even if action may be years or decades away.
Crowley’s unfavorables jumped 15 points in a month, while his favorable rating fell by two.
The latest Marquette poll is out and it’s sort of good news for Democrats. Kind of. The bottom line is that Democratic gubernatorial candidate David Crowley still has pretty much the same edge that he held over Republican Tom Tiffany a month or so ago. Although, an already close race appears to be tightening a little.
Given a choice between being Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley and Republican Congressman Tom Tiffany, you would definitely want to be Crowley right now.
Blaska’s Bottom Line: OI’ Sparky, our Eisenhower-era mainframe computer, predicts that Crowley, while saddled with Hong (the little firebrand nearly won the nomination) will not share the same stage or screen. Bernie, A.O.C., and Hasan Piker are persona non grata. Likewise, Tiffany will keep Trump at arm’s length just as Tammy Baldwin avoided a wounded Joe Biden two years ago in Madison.
When I say voting is the answer, I mean it in the most practical sense possible. The decisions being made right now about land use, affordability, and healthcare will determine whether taking over the family farm is a real option for my generation or just a nostalgic idea.
The Milwaukee Board of School Directors promised residents a comprehensive facilities plan – and the city’s families and taxpayers have done their part. After years of dithering and delay, the school board has an obligation to produce a plan that actually matches the scale of the problem.
The NRC’s approval of this technology is a welcome development for those in the AI industry who have great demand for new, reliable power sources.
In our unstable hyper-partisan political era, the $3 billion Wisconsin budget surplus has become a political football. Shouldn’t it be appreciated, instead, as a huge strategic opportunity?
Activists want ability to bypass elected officials and directly quash large development projects on old GM site
Climate action gets stronger when affordability, innovation and community come together.
I strongly suspect that the farmers who feel abandoned by federal policies, frustrated by trade uncertainty or squeezed by market conditions will decide to send a message on Election Day.
Fraud in Minnesota is a major issue in the state’s 2026 campaigns. The problem is so severe that it heavily shadowed Gov. Tim Walz’s decision not to seek reelection.
Someone asked the other day if Donald Trump or his cadre of culture warriors have ever visited the Smithsonian museums. Perhaps not, but it’s probably best they stay away. Look what happened, after all, when they got inside the Kennedy Center.
The popular Madison state representative is heading out to the far corners of Wisconsin this fall to rally voters on behalf of a Democratic “trifecta” — the November result that would give the party control of the governorship and both chambers of the Legislature.
Tom Tiffany is asking Wisconsin voters to trust him with one of the state’s most important offices. But he shrinks on the campaign trail, unable to let every reporter hold him accountable. That is a troubling look with only about a month to go until Election Day.
The First Amendment belongs to all of us. We should never be comfortable watching the door close on someone else’s voice, because tomorrow, it could be ours.
