Instead of exploring innovative ideas to help attack the problems, many legislators instead have called for cutting off food stamps, limiting the number of weeks on unemployment aid and other draconian attacks on benefits to, in effect, starve workers into taking a job.
Biden administration has continued to make history, breaking down long-standing barriers in our economy and health care systems. Not just across the nation, but right here in Wisconsin.
There are indications that he may have concluded that he’s done enough to placate the hard-left in his party and now he’s going to move back to the center.
In a move that gives new meaning to the phrase “beyond parody,” Democrats in the Wisconsin Legislature on Thursday circulated a joint resolution commending the Wisconsin Elections Commission.
Jay Rothman may be just the right choice to deal with UW Madison that has become a conglomerate.

We need Apprenticeship Specialists who can serve as success coaches offering life coaching skills, support services, or additional training—whatever supports are needed to make it across the finish line.
