Property owners will pay $78.7 million more in school taxes this year, even though the state budget signed last summer aimed to drive down the annual bills. The Wisconsin Policy Forum cited the hundreds of school referendum that have passed since the 2021-23 budget was signed as one reason for the 1.5 percent increase in property taxes statewide to $5.48 billion

Dem Gov. Tony Evers took more votes than Tim Michels in three of the state’s congressional districts last month and narrowly fell short in a fourth as he won statewide by 3.4 percentage points.

Seventy-three United States’ mayors, including the Wisconsin mayors in Milwaukee, Madison, Green Bay and Kenosha, signed a letter this week asking the U.S. Senate to pass a ban on the sale of assault weapons and expand mandated background checks to purchase firearms.

Wisconsin Republicans have never had a state chairman like Brian Schimming. No one has his combination of gregariousness, strategic thinking, issue messaging, organizational skill, bonhomie and speaking ability.

Wisconsin GOP slow about giving student loan tax credit.

Madison is in line to get another grant from the Center for Tech and Civic Life. They should turn it down.

Larry Dufek of Dairyland Farms near New Franken has joined with UW-Oshkosh researchers and Agra Energy in a project on the nation’s first biogas refinery that would convert manure and food waste to liquid vehicle fuel. That could include diesel and jet fuel.
