A Wisconsin Dells business finds itself the possible victim of a government arbitrarily exercising its emergency powers during the coronavirus pandemic.
Cash payments put Americans in the driver’s seat because they are empowered to decide how to spend it: pay bills, buy groceries, save, invest in a more energy efficient car, spend it at a local business, or anything else.
DHS’ order at once represents a grossly unconstitutional infringement on individual rights, an arbitrary and capricious application of draconian restrictions on the citizenry, and a blatant violation of Wisconsin law governing emergency powers.
The virus can easily spread to smaller towns and rural areas if safeguards are not in place.
The plan is short on substance, based on milestones that are unclear and difficult to measure, and leaves the decisions about when and how to reopen the Wisconsin economy up to the unfettered discretion of DHS.
I join federal legislators like Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) who called for data transparency to ensure that businesses of color are being shut out of these loans. For many Americans, these loans will be all that businesses have to help them hang on through the pandemic.
The jury is already in for many, many companies, and they have laid off or furloughed their work forces in unprecedented numbers.
La Follette Progressives and Milwaukee Socialists championed public health and boldly battled the 1918 influenza pandemic.

While AB 1038 was a stepping stone in the effort to grant relief to the people of Wisconsin, it did not go far enough.
I appreciate the governor sharing his insights into his decision-making process. It is clear that he has put at least some thought into his decision-making. But Evers’ response, as far as it goes, shows the frightening results of his decisions.
He’s “not a doctor,” he says while repeatedly rejecting medical experts amid a deadly pandemic.
Never have they needed our support more.
Matt Rothschild, the executive director of the Wisconsin Democracy Campaign that tracks the flow corporate and individual contributions to powerful politicians, was floored by MacIver Institute’s chairman of the board Steven Fettig, throwing flames on the fire to push Friday’s protest.
