During October, National Co-op Month, I wanted to shine a light on the incredible work cooperatives do in rural Wisconsin. Across Wisconsin, the U.S. Department of Agriculture works with cooperatives – businesses that are owned and managed by its members – to support rural prosperity.

He would have loved this version of the Brewers. He may have still called them the Braves and compared them to Hank Aaron and Warren Spahn, but he would have loved this group of gamers. And he would have loved Pat Murphy.

As you go to the polls or fill out your absentee ballot, please remember Wisconsin’s proud tradition of clean elections and vote accordingly.

Some GOP operatives were almost dooming, worried about the midterm headwinds. But everyone thinks Tiffany has a path, and the more Crowley opens his trap, the clearer that becomes.

Both Crowley and Tiffany have walked back their support of data centers, but have constituencies who love them.

GOP gubernatorial candidate Tom Tiffany wants to get rid of the state income tax entirely. However, to replace the income tax, Wisconsin’s sales tax would have to more than double, to nearly 13%.

Thanks to apps like Dave’s Redistricting App, when redistricting is done again in 2030 there will be no democratically legitimate excuse to not have politically neutral maps. The entire nation will be watching.

Your perspectives matter. Whether you are a student, parent, alumnus, employer, educator, taxpayer, or simply someone who cares about Wisconsin’s future, I encourage you to participate.

The WILL/AFP proposal will likely only lead to more political debate over regulation and more legal action. It will not help move us from continued over-reliance on fossil fuels to a combination of energy sources that will be more sustainable and environmentally friendlier.
