Other states have binding referendums. Evers’ call for it echoes Gov. McGovern 111 years ago.
I too was a target of a political hit job by the left
The FDA Modernization Act would lift the archaic regulatory requirements for animal tests and allow scientists to use modern methods that spare animals in new drug and vaccine development.
It was 40 years ago that seven people in the Chicago area died after swallowing Tylenol capsules that had been doctored with a lethal amount of potassium cyanide.
Evers’ vetoes were virtuous in that he prevented the enactment of ill-considered and chaotic laws that would have weakened the security and stability of life in Wisconsin.
A Waukesha County Judge recently ruled Wisconsin Elections Commission decisions lacking a 4-2 majority vote by the six-member commission are invalid. That means election law “guidance” crafted by WEC staff isn’t legal or binding. Yet, many of those edicts remain on WEC’s website.
Talib Akbar is on a mission to help others understand the trauma of solitary confinement.
A chunk of the crime in Milwaukee is happening at high schools under control of a School Board that won’t allow cops to regularly walk the hallways or grounds.
Democrats are leading with abortion while Republicans are leading with crime, and crime is winning.

Prototypes for national legislation on these topics first passed in the state of Wisconsin.
Josh Kaul and Eric Toney are miles apart on many issues, but when it comes to open government, the candidates vying for Wisconsin attorney general in the Nov. 8 election agree: More money is needed to handle enforcement of the state’s transparency laws.
The Inflation Reduction Act provides a historic opportunity for Wisconsin to accelerate the transition to affordable clean energy, electric vehicles and fleets, energy-efficient buildings, advanced manufacturing, agricultural innovation, and environmental justice to significantly reduce emissions, create thousands of jobs, cut costs for consumers, strengthen energy supply chains, and improve the health of our communities.
Johnson has spent the last 12 years in Washington as a national embarrassment, and if the Democrats fail to get that message across, he’ll spend another six years in the nation’s capital sucking up to Donald Trump and acting like Joe McCarthy reincarnated.
Knowing that Republicans were planning to gavel in and out of the session without taking any action, Evers and a phalanx of other Democratic candidates proceeded to a pre-planned rally on the Capitol steps, where they denounced Republicans and turned the failed special session into a campaign issue.
The governor is not only challenging the state’s 1849 law on abortion rights, he’s proposing to expand direct democracy in the state.
While Gov. Tony Evers’ campaign goes about casting stones, don’t forget the former lord of Wisconsin public education stood by while his agency approved licenses for teachers accused of sexual misconduct involving students.
The GOP candidate for Wisconsin governor has fallen into a capitulation spiral.

We allowed this to happen and now, at the very least, we should endure his painful spectacle because as long as we allow the people who continually set Darrell Brooks, Jr. free to serve in the justice system in any capacity whatsoever, we should feel the consequences of our actions. Because Darrell Brooks, Jr. never did.
