If a proposed $640 million referendum for Milwaukee Public Schools passes, local taxpayers won’t be the only ones on the hook. A referendum of this size would result in as much as $200 million additional dollars in state money to MPS.
Previous searches have always included faculty and student representatives.
For most Americans the sound of a U.S.A. fighter jet is “the sound of freedom.” But to Rep. Chris Taylor it’s nauseating and headache-inducing.
The total value of exports from Wisconsin has been flat for years, in part for purely market reasons but no doubt also because of constant uncertainties over the rules of trade. It is time to restore some certainty to the process, and Wisconsin’s congressional delegation can help.
Bloomberg is flat wrong that this is a weak field. Objections to Trump are growing to the point that any of these opponents can make a good case. Particularly with an electorate that understands where the candidates are heading more than getting hung up on how they get there.
U.S. Rep. Mark Pocan has a clear-eyed perspective on the question of impeachment. It is not an option, or a strategy. It is a duty.
As state Sen. Scott Fitzgerald, R-Juneau, charts his campaign for the 5th Congressional District seat, the WisOpinion Insiders, Chvala and Jensen, review the Republicans who may replace him as Senate majority leader if the GOP retains control of the chamber next fall.
The stylistic and ideological rift between Democratic camps is clearly deep and dangerous.
Age – particularly Biden’s age — has been circling the Democratic field like vultures in an old Western. Perhaps it is a needed correction when some of the most audacious punches are being landed by Pelosi and Biden, who have both suffered the arrows of being too old and old-fashioned to lead a charge into the future.
Thompson Center Director Ryan Owens interviews former Milwaukee conservative radio host Charlie Sykes, who is now editor-in-chief of The Bulwark.
Roger Utnehmer, who runs the feisty Door County Daily News in Sturgeon Bay, suggested recently that high-speed rail in Wisconsin, something that Scott Walker proudly nixed, would have been a better bet for the state than Foxconn.
Recent incidents in Wisconsin high schools underscored the importance of school resource officers and fast-responding police officers — not the need for more gun-control laws that would have done nothing to prevent the threats in Waukesha and Oshkosh.
Polls show even state’s Republican voters overwhelmingly oppose current policies.
It’s time for us to get to work on Wisconsin-centered solutions to climate change.
The company’s quickening pace of construction could ultimately help Trump’s re-election chances in battleground Wisconsin. Bringing Foxconn to the U.S., to southeast Wisconsin in particular, is at the core of Trump’s overall bid to bring manufacturing jobs back home.
Scott Walker and Robin Vos played on the rural-urban resentment to their own political benefit and to the whole state’s disadvantage.
Tourism grew by 35 percent during the last six years and that helped create 21,000 new jobs. It did so in no small part because our administration kept politics out of tourism. Secretary-designee Meaney should do the same.
Assuredly, the mental price of being a Trump Republican is far higher than being a Democrat or even being a Republican was in the recent past.
Some governments refuse anonymous requests for open records. That’s illegal. And anti-democratic.
