A GOP proposal is floating around the Wisconsin Legislature to require the UW to grant automatic admission to any Wisconsin student who graduates in the top 5% of their high school class. They might not intend it this way, but it looks like that could be a significant move toward diversity.
If their work is essential, why are they paid so little?
6 years after deal made, nothing has been manufactured, but price tag keeps rising
Generational analysis shows growing need for plans to champion health literacy and reduce health system burden
Employing the most sweeping and creative line-item veto power in the nation, Democrat Tony Evers reworked a budget plan to score an epic win for public education.
Why lost opportunity to cut taxes is devastating for the Badger State.
With his line item vetoes, Gov. Tony Evers may have just created a new supplemental budget process to take place this fall.
On Wednesday, Governor Evers used his line-item veto power to extend school spending for a further four centuries.
Government officials deny open-records requests because it’s easier than fulfilling them, or in hopes that if they throw up enough roadblocks, the requester will just go away. They don’t understand the law and are reluctant to seek help. They fear the records could embarrass them or a pal.
While there are those who have the luxury of embracing a national narrative of bootstraps, character, and individual merit, the rest of us live in the real world. We have been asked to believe that the playing field has been leveled, that all students have the same resources, opportunities, or preparation. That is simply not the case.
The U.S. Supreme Court’s decisions last Thursday to overturn almost 50 years of precedent and to strike down the ability of the University of Wisconsin-Madison and other colleges and universities to employ race-conscious admissions policies was widely anticipated.
Or about $700,000 if Scott Manske is not reelected for another four years.
To help prevent additional tragic deaths by suicide of our service men and women, I introduced the Warrior Call Day Resolution, which would establish November 12, 2023, the Sunday after Veterans Day, as Warrior Call Day.
The issue of abortion and a woman’s right to choose isn’t going away in Wisconsin and many other states with restrictive laws on the books.
The narrative that third-party candidates act as “spoilers” in elections, drawing votes away from major party candidates, is a more complex issue than it initially appears.
I am proud of this bill and hope the Governor recognizes this budget reflects the needs, values, and priorities of Wisconsin by signing it into law.
The notion that we need a “colorblind” society or race neutral policies is errant. It is linear and is a passive way of telling minorities to “move on” and forget about the historic inequities that still exist in our society.
We have a classically liberal Supreme Court. In three and a half major cases this term SCOTUS’ decisions made America better.
The WDP has an impressive track record, winning almost all statewide races while losing a few by tiny margins. This is critical as Wisconsin Democratic Senator Tammy Baldwin is running for reelection in 2024.
If election were held today, Biden would win Wisconsin.
