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.
The congressman is convinced that Sanders has what it takes to flip Wisconsin, a state that backed Democrats for president in every election from 1988 to 2012, but then chose Trump over Democrat Hillary Clinton by 22,748 votes in 2016.
With lawmakers back, the WisOpinion Insiders, Chvala and Jensen, look at the election-year agenda for the Legislature.
I wonder how much this Ground Hog-day repetition — Democrats squabbling and Trump spewing — matters? Are the eligible voters who will ultimately decide Trump’s fate this fall — by voting or not voting — paying any attention at all?
The progress championed in the late 1960s, 70s, and 80s has slowly eroded. It is consistently being chipped away through judicial activism, partisan gerrymandering, restrictions to the ballot box, and the political impotence of elected officials. In 2020, we must wake up; we can no longer afford to be passive dreamers.
