The same party that delights in attacking Democrats for supposedly wanting to defund the police and criticizing them for causing property taxes to rise is really the one that is expert at doing both. And they’ve spent the last 12 years of their reign doing just that.
The Evers administration wrongly issued hundreds of thousands of dollars in business grants based on changed eligibility requirements, according to the latest state audit of the billions of dollars in federal COVID relief Evers has spent at his discretion.
Beyond tax cuts and funding for primary and secondary schools, there are a host of other intelligent priorities for spending. Here are several that I deem to be strategic and hope politicos agree.
No one spins like Trump’s hard-core base.
But we now expect such behavior from Donald Trump.
State Assembly Rep. Lee Snodgrass (D-Appleton) has had enough of Republican Congressman Glenn Grothman’s bigoted comments.
Through gerrymandering, Wisconsin Republicans have engineered consent. They keep power even when most voters in the state do not wish for them to have it.

Municipalities are increasingly turning to residents to make up for state-imposed limits on property tax levies
The next Reagan? Not anyone we can see on the horizon.
Should an attorney have to be a member of the State Bar of Wisconsin to practice law in the Badger State? That’s the driving question behind a First Amendment lawsuit filed with the U.S. Supreme Court.
Analytics are used in sports, banking, social media, entertainment, health care, education, business and government. Why not include analytics as a tool for judges in their decision making and, just as important, as a way for others to advocate for fairness in sentencing decisions?
In a video of the protest in Shanghai, verified by the Associated Press, chants against Xi, the most powerful leader since at least the 1980s, can be heard without equivocation. “Xi Jinping! Step down! CCP! Step down!”
