Donald Trump is delivering the results that Wisconsinites want, while the Democrats vying to run against him are obsessing over issues that don’t matter to ordinary Americans.
Republicans surely will be dismissive of this reform idea as it came from the Democratic camp. But they should not be scornful of the folks across the state who are tired of being the pawns of partisan-hungry lawmakers.
Let’s dispense with the “nonpartisan” nonsense. If it’s a commission appointed by Evers, by its very nature the commission is a partisan Democratic commission.
Common Council concerned. “Borderline frightening” use of police power, Bauman charges.
As we move ahead into 2020, and beyond, we will continue to look for innovative and cost-saving ways to take care of the roads and bridges that connect us and to expand what our infrastructure offers.
Impeachment is no longer a solemn, powerful remedy for presidential malfeasance; it’s a political weapon that the opposition can’t wait to wield.
Republicans last week targeted Dem Reps. Vruwink, Myers and Doyle.
It’s easy to get caught up in hot button issues, but we need to concentrate on the things that can bring us together.
Lobbyist John Gard’s backing of Jason Church is a bad “Creature of the Black Lagoon” sequel.
Every American household already pays the equivalent of an $8,000-per-year tax for health care — everything from deductibles, co-pays to outrageous drug charges. That alone is far and above what a single-payer system would cost Americans.
Tony Evers made a mistake when appointing a career utility lawyer to be the PSC chair. He should do better this time.
Bill’s only purpose is to fan the flames of bigotry.
Now that two states bordering Wisconsin have recently legalized the recreational purchase and use of marijuana, it seems that perhaps Wisconsin needs to consider law changes related to driving under the influence of drugs, including marijuana.
Workforce and health care costs cannot be left out of the conversation.
If Trump and Wisconsin GOP politicians at Trump’s Milwaukee rally are so confident of success, why rush to purge more than 200,000 voters from Wisconsin’s voter rolls because of supposed faulty addresses?
Many times the most harmful federal policies are those designed to “help” vulnerable communities, which is why several of Wisconsin’s tribes are gravely concerned about the Veterans and Consumers Fair Credit Act – a new bill sponsored by Wisconsin Congressman Glenn Grothman.
Sen. Dale Kooyenga – a member of the US Army Reserve and certified CPA who represents the 5th Senate District, – joined Badgers United on its podcast “The Flagship” to talk higher education in Wisconsin.
The chambers we came close to rating as competitive — but have held off for now – are the North Carolina House and the Wisconsin Senate. Both are held by the GOP and currently rate as likely Republican. But depending on how the political winds develop, they could shift later to lean Republican.
Safe Harbor legislation has been introduced repeatedly in the past several sessions, without passage.
