Republican reforms to maintain quality and restrain costs merit support.

As part of a compromise struck behind closed doors between Gov. Tony Evers and the Republican leaders of our gerrymandered legislature, we’re watching helplessly as a record increase of our public dollars go to private schools participating in Wisconsin’s several voucher programs.

Legislative Republicans have worked this session to give our farmers much needed resources to succeed.

He gives Brewers more than they wanted and makes only Democratic parts of metro area pay for it.

Vos is saying that we might as well give the Brewers all of their tax money back and then some because if we don’t they’ll leave and we’ll be in the same place. What if every business and every taxpayer made the same threat?

It’s curious that Vos and his like-minded colleagues are so fearful of a state Supreme Court ordering redrawn maps that they’d be willing to reverse their long-held opposition to nonpartisan maps, or short of that resort to a backdoor impeachment plot to thwart revisiting their gerrymander.

To great fanfare from local media, Planned Parenthood resumed performing abortions in Milwaukee and Madison this week in direct violation of Wisconsin’s law forbidding the practice. Only Wisconsin’s law never actually forbade abortions at all; at least not according to Dane County Circuit Court Judge Diane Schlipper, who ruled in July that the Wisconsin statute titled “Abortion” doesn’t cover abortion.

Wisconsin’s special session shines a light on a burgeoning national issue, with issues felt through the entire economy and political ecosystem, particularly with women and working families.

Although Electric Vehicles are a hot topic, they fundamentally have failed to compete in the marketplace.

The UW System can not bend on the matter with DEI, as educational integrity matters along with the needs and proper expectations of inclusion among the growing diverse campuses.

The State Senate recently passed two problem-solving bills that I drafted on behalf of the people I serve. Considering all of the other exciting things happening in the State Capitol on September 14, 2023, you probably didn’t hear a whisper about these bills.

In Madison in the next two weeks we will raise our voices together about the perils of nuclear war and the war in Ukraine.

With the removal of Elections Commission Administrator Meagan Wolfe, uncertainty reigns over Wisconsin elections as we look ahead to 2024.

Why is Robin Vos now amenable (SCOWIS issues aside) to a redistricting commission similar to the one proposed by the Democrats in 2019?  The short answer is that he knows that his party will not be hurt much by Assembly maps that are compact and minimize county splits and split municipalities.  

Republicans, who control the Legislature only because of the most extreme gerrymandering in the nation, are threatening to use their illegitimate majority in the state Assembly to nullify the landslide victory of Justice Janet Protasiewicz.

There’s a huge disconnect between D.C. and Wisconsin Democrats: a judicial double standard that exists to give the left more power.

That won’t stop Robin Vos from trying.

It defies economic logic to subsidize a private enterprise like the Brewers and not ask for a return on that investment.

In a country of over 330 million people with legions of brilliant, ethical, honest, compassionate and humble servant leaders, are we really going to be forced to choose between Joe Biden and Donald Trump?

The chaos and dysfunction injected into national politics by Donald Trump has pretty much infected all levels of government.
