As a part of a bill to increase shared revenue to municipalities and an allowance to institute increased sales taxes, Republicans threw in a caveat that will cost Milwaukee residents an extra 2 million dollars a year. The expense is to return police officers to Milwaukee Public Schools.
Wisconsin’s measuring stick for student performance has been changed. And the categories for student performance have been renamed in, shall we say, kinder, gentler ways.
I will be kicking off back-to-school bus tour in Green Bay to highlight the importance of public schools
The WisOpinion Insiders, Chvala and Jensen, handicap Wisconsin’s 3rd and 8th Congressional District races and whether the GOP can hold those seats. Sponsored by the Wisconsin Counties Association and the Tommy G. Thompson Center on Public Leadership.
It is quite curious as to why Chair Jacobs wants to follow the letter of the law now, but not in her past decisions.

She rips Hovde for ‘conflicts of interest’ while concealing her own.
Attorney, Milwaukee native and Bradley Foundation board member Paul Clement faces questions for his starring role in gun rights.

Just recently the WMC Litigation Center filed a lawsuit on behalf of two taxpayers against the town of Eureka, alleging the town’s permitting requirements for livestock farms are unlawful. And that they are. At least in my take, it’s just another example of “local control” gone wild.
This year’s two national conventions served to underscore the stark differences between the candidates seeking America’s votes, more clearly than any in the recent past.
