The Republican-crafted 2021-23 state budget—with a $2.3 billion income tax cut and $574 million to control property taxes that Democratic Gov. Tony Evers had to sign into law—split the 50 Democratic legislators in interesting ways.
When he had the opportunity to rid our state of an outdated tax, a tax that red and blue states alike have repealed, he turned his back on us.
It’s clear Johnson doesn’t care about our economic recovery, Wisconsin businesses or our workers. Everything he says and does runs contrary to what we need to do to fully bounce back from this pandemic.
The WisOpinion Insiders, Chvala and Jensen, debate Speaker Robin Vos’ 2020 election investigation.
The Child Tax Cut is a win for everyone.
Through his budget vetoes, Gov. Evers gave the legislature an opportunity to make good on a common and popular promise legislators across the state made to support their local public schools. There are plenty of needs right now, and now we have a second chance to fund those needs.
No amount of money is ever enough for the insatiable trough feeders in the public education establishment.
The budget was a missed opportunity in many ways and didn’t go nearly as far as we could with the surplus we have.
Our democracy is in real trouble.
States around the country are gearing up for projects that could pair engineering schools and industry, but the dean of UW-Madison’s College of Engineering warned this week the state will be at a disadvantage unless there’s more investment in infrastructure needed to compete.
But being a native of Green County I’d be remiss if I didn’t view with alarm this proposal to give a cheese that isn’t even among the most popular in the state a place among the other state designees: the robin, the badger, the sugar maple tree, the white-tailed deer and the musky, for instance.
Unlike in some cities Milwaukee’s urban forestry program is not in decline.
These politicians are content to let problems fester, starve the public schools, and for goodness’ sake don’t help poor folks get health care coverage.
Seventeen states have passed legislation to ban fetal tissue research. Wisconsin is not one of these states.
Attorney General Josh Kaul’s disastrous leadership and reckless policies have made Wisconsin more dangerous.
The governor is campaigning on a tax cut neither he nor most Wisconsinites wanted — that’s nothing to get hot and bothered about.
Failure to do so will result in taxpayers providing a $700 million interest-free loan to the government in both 2021 and 2022
Evers recognized the threat to open and ethical governing and blocked the legislation.
While the Milwaukee Bucks have had no trouble getting fans to see their games, it has been nearly impossible to find anyone to work them.
The battle to maintain the status quo has picked up steam and “critical race theory” is the tool being used to scare Americans into not taking a close look at the ugly parts of American history.
