In the upcoming budget reconciliation bill, Congress must double its current conservation program funding and dramatically increase conservation staffing.
In 2018, the Democratic governor’s election stanched Wisconsin’s lurch towards far-right autocracy. As Evers faces re-election in 2022, the stakes appear to be even higher.
The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel just published a hit piece from the left-leaning ProPublica attacking U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson for tax relief he fought for. In doing so, the newspaper printed illegally disclosed “confidential” tax information from prominent conservative donors.
