With an additional $4.4 billion in tax revenue, the legislature and the governor have the opportunity to accomplish priorities that were often thought to be unrealistic: reduce taxes, implement a learning loss recovery program for students who have been left behind from school closures, or expand strategic investments like broadband to ensure all Wisconsinites have access to high-speed internet.
While Gov. Tony Evers and President Joe Biden spend your tax dollars like drunken sailors on leave, consumers are taking it in the shorts.
The bills presented by Wisconsin legislators seek to ignore historical truths, under the guise that teaching history and current events accurately would upset students and assault the sensibilities of Caucasian students.
With more than an estimated 207,000 members of the LGBTQ+ community calling Wisconsin home, LGBTQ+ individuals are our friends, our neighbors and members of our family.
Johnson’s strong predilection toward unscientific notions, ones damaging to public health, is by no means confined to the pandemic.
LFB’s re-estimates show an increase of $4.4 billion above January estimates, with a projected ending balance in the 2021-23 budget of $5.7 billion. That flood of projected cash raises a critical question: Will taxpayers get that money back or will they get Tonied?
The only sensible and fiscally prudent thing to do is to continue to spend within a reasonable means and return a sizeable balance of what might be termed “the stimulus dividend” to the taxpayers.
Now that we are somewhat stabilized and on the mend, thanks in large part to government intervention and funding, it’s time for the Biden administration to look ahead and build a more robust economy. Collaboration with industry, as with the COVID vaccine, points the way forward.
The best way to rebuild economy and a strong middle class. Wisconsin and nation must do more.

U.S. Senate candidate’s claim to back family-supporting jobs exaggerates, distorts truth.
Republican efforts to try to diminish the significance of the riots at the U.S. Capitol on January 6 continue.
He could have stood up to Trump several times these past few years, but always bowed to him when the chips were down.
In a league that is supposedly so woke, the NBA and NBA Players Union refuse to speak the truth about the racist nature of fan behavior.
By preventing students from accessing ways to grow collectively with peers through a team experience, these bills harm youth on and off the playing field, cisgender and transgender, through intentional outing and exclusion.
Ex-governor and EPA leader raised legal pollution level to aid Foxconn plan.
With competition and leadership from automakers new and old and forward-looking conservative policy, the United States and Wisconsin can lead the race.
It should be easy to vote and hard to cheat in our elections, and S.B. 204 moves Wisconsin closer to this goal by establishing a fair, transparent and more secure process for absentee voting that people can trust.
Over 500 colleges and universities will require students to be vaccinated before showing up on campus this fall. But not the University of Wisconsin. That has to change.
Barnes hasn’t decided whether to run for another term as lieutenant governor or to enter the Senate race. But his speech was the most potent of the Democratic state convention.
