Because of how the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services reimburses healthcare providers, some of the most vulnerable Wisconsinites are at risk of losing access to healthcare that they need and deserve.
Recent victories in Pennsylvania and New Hampshire special elections suggest Democrats can score huge wins in the fight to control state legislatures. That changes everything.
This is an unprecedented step of the speaker inserting himself into the judicial process.
Protasiewicz has not ruled on a case. And the excuse that she was obviously supported by partisan Democrats is no excuse when the three justices I worked to support were openly supported by the state GOP.
The head of state public defender’s office, now retiring, getting mentioned as possible state Supreme Court candidate.
All things considered, having the Brewers in Wisconsin is a net benefit to the state, but it does not rise to the level of justifying hundreds of millions of dollars of taxpayer support.
Powerful algorithms could do better. A powerful algorithm, guided by mathematical principles alone, can quickly find exceptional maps without error or bias.
A state Department of Health Services decision to take a year to remove ineligible people from Wisconsin’s Medicaid rolls — much slower than many other states — will cost federal and state taxpayers an estimated $745 million.
CESA 10’s mission includes maximizing learning opportunities and school effectiveness. To that end, CESA 10 has been hard at work providing efficiencies for taxpayers across Wisconsin, especially in the northwestern region of the state.
Tim Scott calls for firing workers. Nikki Haley celebrates union busting. And Trump’s attacking UAW leaders.
I believe keeping the Brewers in Wisconsin is extremely important, not only because the organization has a rich history and millions of loyal fans, but also because the revenue that the team brings in benefits our wonderful state and economy. For that reason, any plan to finance infrastructure improvements must also be respectful of Wisconsin’s taxpayers.
In the 100 or more Cap Times Idea Fest sessions I’ve attended in the past seven years, I have seen nothing quite like it.
Until the late 1970s, legislators came to Madison for a few weeks to pass a budget and deal with pressing issues that bubbled up from the people they represented. And those legislators knew the people they represented because in their real jobs they worked and played alongside them.
Ranked choice voting has eroded voter confidence, skewed election results, and pushed the political landscape further towards liberal progressivism, undermining the principles of freedom and democracy.
“Equality of rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of sex.” The words are from a portion of the Equal Rights Protection clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. It promises that all persons in the United States shall enjoy the “equal protection of the laws.”
Rebecca Kleefisch should challenge Tammy Baldwin.
I have personal experience and knowledge of physicians being reprimanded by their employers for voicing their opinions about health care policy and legislation. We face immense pressure to keep our heads down and stay silent because of our concern that our employment will be put on the line if we speak out.
Las Vegas odds-makers, never at a loss for things to bet on, are having fun with whether Republican House Speaker Kevin McCarthy can keep his job for even a year.
The G20 provides a structure for policy discussion and coordination on a wide range of matters, including international security.
The WisOpinion Insiders, Chvala and Jensen, take on the proposed Iowa-style redistricting proposal amid threats to impeach liberal Justice Janet Protasiewicz if she doesn’t recuse herself from redistricting cases. Sponsored by the Wisconsin Counties Association and the Tommy G. Thompson Center on Public Leadership.
