The WisOpinion Insiders, Chvala and Jensen, review Gov. Tony Evers’ budget proposal and consider its potential outcome in the hands of majority Republicans.
Tony Evers surely realizes the sensible, center-left state budget he proposed this week has zero chance of passing because the foremost priority of Republican majorities in the Legislature, ahead of governing, is preventing any success by a Democratic governor.
This was nothing more than Evers’ re-election announcement wrapped in the formality of a policy address.
In 2020 Transportation Department completed 375 projects in all corners of the state.
Sean Stevens joined the Thompson Center on Public Leadership to discuss findings from a 2020 survey on free speech on the college campus. Stevens is a senior research fellow in polling and analytics at FIRE and obtained his Ph.D. in social psychology from Rutgers.
Even fans of Limbaugh would have a hard time justifying the state of Wisconsin lowering the flags to half-staff to honor him. Limbaugh has zero connections to the state of Wisconsin.
What was his impact on Wisconsin? Praise and condemnation and silliness offered.
Struggling to pay for basic needs is something nobody should have to live with.
When Trump called the tune, Ron Johnson danced.
While state Republican candidates outperformed Trump. A problem for both parties.
In a letter last month, Mayor Satya Rhodes-Conway instructed city employees to work fewer hours and sign up for Unemployment Insurance to help fill big-spending Madison’s budget hole. She touts it as a win-win situation for the city’s finances and the government employees, without noting the losers: federal taxpayers and employers who cover the cost of UI benefits.

Gov. Tony Evers’ 2021-23 budget represents a renewed assault on the state’s high-performing school choice and charter programs.
Ron Johnson has become a national leader in hoaxes and conspiracy theories.
His lawyers are still pushing election lawsuit, hoping for a Trump coup in 2024.
When we think of the nature of systemic racism we rarely see the face of a White woman. I have seen the faces of these women throughout American history. They have been hidden in the background by men who don’t want to give them credit. Despite this, they have made their voices be known as a force in racism.
Over the last two days, Texas has undergone power outages and rolling blackouts as its energy grid has been unable to cope with a huge spike in demand coupled with faltering generation.
Short-term profits for hedge funds at the expense of iconic news operations or the needs of news consumers are appalling. We need regulations to stop and undo the consolidation of our news, (be it radio, newspapers, or broadcast television), into the hands of fewer and fewer people.
The growing pressure to reopen Madison schools has been successful: Superintendent Carlton Jenkins has announced that reopening will start March 9, with no guarantee that teachers can be vaccinated by then.
It’s the best way to assure good services and fiscal stability for Milwaukee.
