Bottom line: Electric vehicles are more expensive than others.

The latest proposal aims to repeal Wisconsin’s Green Tier program and the environmental compliance audit program, both overseen by the Department of Natural Resources.

While he has spent years fighting environmental safeguards and proposing strip mines in Wisconsin’s virgin forests, last week he introduced a bill in Congress to limit the environmental damage on federal lands from illegal aliens who, he insists, are making a mess at the border.

This is another example of federal all-knowing, one-size-fits-all regulations that don’t give any consideration to what’s happening locally.

Seventeen states—including states like Oregon, Arizona, Indiana, and South Carolina – don’t require government permission for teenagers to work.

Republicans forced to choose ‘least bad’ legislative redistricting.

Our kids will never recover from the ‘expert’ demand to close schools.

There is no Republican Party anymore. A Congress that once deliberated is half gone as extremists obstruct what they can to prove that our nation is broken — to gain votes from disgruntled citizens who dislike a broken nation.

The ongoing redistricting mess should prompt systemic changes for next time.

But what does it all mean?

In his announcement speech in Madison Tuesday, it was not at all clear that his heart is in it.

In a move generally reserved for benign actions like naming post offices, Assembly Republicans passed their Right of First Refusal bill on a voice vote—giving each of them plausible deniability when confronted by an angry constituency.

I don’t always agree with Sen. Johnson, but he’s right to call for the closure of the southern border with Mexico.

Decoupling provides more state aid to 404 of the 421 public school districts and provides significant property tax relief to Wisconsin taxpayers outside Milwaukee. Why make them wait?

Sadly but not surprisingly, a GOP constitutional amendment against discrimination is more talk than substance.

The key play is to make the race about Trump’s utter contempt for the core values of the American experiment.

The narrative that Joe Biden is too old for a second term has clearly set in and is reflected very broadly in public surveys.

RIP to the gerrymander.

Gov. Tony Evers proves pragmatic governing best serves Wisconsin.

The decision by the four liberal Justices to discard the previously approved maps is a threat to democracy and irrevocably harms the citizens of this great state.
