Were I a leftist, I would be applauding Evers’ success in the face of a Legislature controlled by the oppositions. As a conservative, however, I lament that Evers has pushed Wisconsin into what will be at least a decade of decline.
Looking beyond rhetoric on both sides.
Usually, when Republicans demand big benefits for the rich, Democrats accept them as part of “compromise” schemes that provide scraps for the great mass of people. That didn’t happen this year because Evers called Vos’ bluff.
To pay for Democrats’ war on success!
Wisconsin voters of all political views and stripes would be best served by Meagan Wolfe continuing in her current role.
These days, I can barely catch my breath. One far reaching legislative decision or policy proposal after another has been introduced/passed. Whether at the state or federal level, many of these initiatives have far reaching consequences, with harmful implications.
To increase diversity in a race-neutral era, we must expand the undergraduate applicant pool. One way to do that is to enable students to see the connections between their professional aspirations and education.
Democratic Gov. Tony Evers’ budget-bill veto that cut the Republicans’ two-year $3.5 billion income tax cut by 95% — back to $175 million — showed the importance of another number: 2,498.
Public information officers often forget the ‘public’ in their titles.

Evers’ surging popularity, shared revenue support, looking ahead to 2024.
As long as there are farmers out there fighting to go on, there is reason for hope. I talked with experts and innovators to see what can be done.
Stand with parents and needed health and medical care for children.
While no decision was quite as impactful as last year’s Dobbs decision which returned the question of abortion back to the individual states, this year’s Supreme Court brought forth several late inning decisions sure to be hits for the American people.
Biden isn’t getting any younger and the age issue can’t be wished or argued away. It needs to be confronted head on.
We need to forge a new balance between the private sector and democratic governance, or the nation will continue to spiral into chaotic discontent.
These are scary times for Europe and America, but we have a foot on Putin’s neck and it needs to stay there until he is willing to negotiate an end to his brutality and agree to at least a partial withdrawal from Ukraine.
The WisOpinion Insiders, Chvala and Jensen, consider the proposal for the first major changes to Wisconsin’s alcohol sales laws in nearly a century. Sponsored by the Wisconsin Counties Association and the Tommy G. Thompson Center on Public Leadership.
