When this latest public health emergency expires in early April, Wisconsin will have spent 360 of the past 391 days in a state of emergency that was never once extended by joint resolution of the Legislature, which state law clearly and obviously requires.
Exposing his “brazen” lust for power, Gov. Tony Evers on Thursday hastily dismissed a legislative resolution and issued another public health declaration that extends his statewide mask mandate.
Legislators wrong to criticize inmates getting the vaccine when prison infection rates are so high.
Why even the distribution of the coronavirus vaccine has been a hot mess
If you’re a business owner wondering if you can require employees to get vaccinated against the COVID-19 virus, the answer is a qualified “yes.” Whether it makes sense to enact workplace mandates is a different question.
I suggest we reassess how we celebrate the month. It is time that we provide a more deeply thoughtful journey into learning our history. I don’t think we should shove all of what we do aside, but we need to dig deeper.
Thousands of small businesses that received federal PPP loans will face more than $450 million in state income taxes unless the Legislature acts.
Wigderson notes Fitzgerald’s newsletter doesn’t mention the storming of the U.S. Capitol and his objections to certifying votes in Arizona and Pennsylvania.
City has 8 cameras per 1,000 people, more than 28 of 39 large cities studied.
A $15 minimum wage isn’t just morally right — it’s also good economics and good politics.
It censors testimony from physicians on early treatments for COVID-19 patients.
All we need do is to watch the GOP legislators at work to understand how, like their hero Trump, they really don’t want government to work.
I urge Wisconsin Republicans to use their voices to put their representatives on notice and in check; if we are ever to see an end to this pandemic and its gruesome economic effects, your leaders need to get on board.
What’s concerning to me and many of my constituents is that the Vaccine Distribution Subcommittee recommended that incarcerated individuals should be next in line for their vaccinations. This choice means the Evers administration would prioritize prisoners, 68% of whom committed violent crimes, to be vaccinated likely before their victims.
David Leonhardt of the New York Times just reported that the vaccines now on the market or coming to market are even better than expected.
Two southeast Wisconsin lawmakers are urging Milwaukee area school districts to actually follow the science and return to in-person education.
Assembly Speaker has toured the plant and Foxconn is definitely, probably manufacturing… something.
Late last year, We Energies’ $15 million-a-year executive Gale Klappa announced that the older coal burning plant in Oak Creek would be retired in 2024. This decision is hardly cause for celebration. This plant should be shut down immediately. It is unnecessary.
In his new capacity as a professional right-winger, Walker is leading the charge to force public schools to reopen for in-person learning even as the coronavirus pandemic remains a threat to health and safety — and as new variants suggest the threat could surge anew.
