And now, the president and government are poised to punish Wisconsin businesses further by forcing them to pay higher taxes to fund a multi-trillion dollar laundry list of pie-in-the-sky liberal ideas and programs.
Election ‘investigations’ and gerrymandering are all part of the same game.
The Gableman campaign in 2008 unleashed a vicious campaign of attacks on then-Justice Louis Butler, which took cues from the “Willie Horton” ad that supporters of former President George H.W. Bush used to smear his Democratic rival, Massachusetts Gov. Mike Dukakis, in 1988.

The “Party of Dane County” can squeak out statewide wins by running up huge numbers and margins here, but it can’t take back the Legislature that way. For that it needs to bring an endangered species back from the brink of extinction: the moderate Democrat.
I don’t have any suggestions on how Madison could recognize a politician who has meant so much to its success. But it should find a way.
The WisOpinions Insiders, Chvala and Jensen, discuss the People’s Maps Commission’s first contribution to Wisconsin’s redistricting battle. Sponsored by the Wisconsin Counties Association and Michael Best Strategies.
