Don’t be surprised if the nine justices don’t spend any time deciding who Democratic Gov. Tony Evers must invite to his news conferences.
The WisOpinion Insiders, Chvala and Jensen, offer different takes on the Legislative Audit Bureau’s review of the 2020 Wisconsin elections. Sponsored by the Wisconsin Counties Association and Michael Best Strategies.
With overwhelming support among seniors, and a history of bipartisan support, Medicare Advantage has been lucky enough to be protected by policy makers in Washington. But that could change if seniors don’t make their voices heard.
It appears that some Wisconsin Republicans are suddenly cheering funds that are being released under President Joe Biden’s American Rescue Plan earlier this year, a plan that their Republican colleagues opposed in lockstep.
A Racine County Sheriff Department investigation alleges the Wisconsin Elections Commission “shattered” state election law, violations that led to the forced or manipulated voting of cognitively impaired senior citizens.
In a direct and serious violation of state law, WEC commissioners and staff repeatedly told nursing home staff members that they could assist residents in voting and even fill out ballots on residents’ behalf.
The nonpartisan Legislative Audit Bureau released its 168-page audit of Wisconsin’s handling of the November 2020 election. The findings are deeply concerning for anybody who cares about whether or not our government still operates with the consent of the governed.
There are lots of similarities behind Feingold’s improbable and inspiring campaign three decades ago and what Nelson’s got going now.
Plans electric car plant in Ohio, which offered no state subsidy. Why?
From the standpoint of Buckley Brinkman, who directs the Wisconsin Center for Manufacturing and Productivity, there are two kinds of manufacturers – those who have adjusted to a changing world, and those who must do so to survive.
Public-private hybrids underperform and are fraught with risk
Although it is too late to reform the system before new voting maps have to be adopted, that is not an excuse for passing yet another gerrymander nor for delaying reform.
Harassing election officials and working to undermine the integrity of Wisconsin elections has become a central part of Republicans’ electoral strategy.
Gov. Tony Evers fancies himself as the “Education Governor.” So, why have K-12 student proficiency numbers plummeted in his nearly three years in office?
Local governments, awash in federal cash, still trying to spend down millions from the CARES Act.
Even if Rittenhouse somehow draws an impartial jury, he already appears to have landed a very partial judge.
Wisconsin has had a long tradition of responsible hunting and forward-thinking conservation. Internationally revered thinkers, like Aldo Leopold, have been architects of that. But now our conservation agenda is being set by Ted Nugent.
Evidence now shows states that canceled those benefits earlier in the year saw no increase in employment compared with those that didn’t.
The explosive revelations in the Wisconsin Legislative Audit Bureau’s report on the 2020 presidential election only confirms what has been to most rational people apparent for months: Those tasked with administering the election willfully ignored and openly violated state law while doing so.
Gallagher may well run for governor or the U.S. Senate at some point — perhaps even in short order, if Johnson stands down. But he has made it clear he lacks the fortitude to take on Trump, or Trumpism.
