Each Republican member on the State Building Commission voted “NO” 88 times on building and infrastructure projects that will benefit residents of our state.
On Wednesday, the Court ruled in a 4-3 decision that Evers could no longer skirt a Wisconsin law requiring the state legislature to approve public health emergencies that last longer than 60 days by simply declaring a new public health emergency the minute the old one expired.
Assembly Speaker Robin Vos should introduce a bare-bones emergency order bill restoring a mask mandate to protect Wisconsinites, save lives and restore federal food aid.

Tony Evers approved a bill that directed the agency to create those limits as part of an effort to cap the use of firefighting foam.
We’re not looking to have wolves eliminated. We are looking to have the ecosystem balanced again, to establish the boundaries.
Emails released over the past few days prove that State Superintendent candidate Jill Underly used her official government account while on government time last year to build support for her nascent campaign.
Wisconsin Elections Commission Administrator Meagan Wolfe was on the hot seat Wednesday, testifying about WEC’s contacts with left-leaning groups embedded in Green Bay and Milwaukee elections.
Sidney Powell, Rudy Giuliani and some very fishy graphs about Wisconsin’s presidential election.

The Evers administration is in a position to provide massive help to the businesses in Wisconsin that have been set back by the COVID epidemic.
