The conservatives on the court can cloak themselves in all the high use of legal parlance they desire. But there is no rational explanation for the ruling other than crass politics. The lack of mature leadership from the court now allows for chaos to ensue.
Wisconsin below most states and the entire Midwest in per-capita COVID-19 cases and deaths.
Accepting out-of-state credentials should continue after the crisis ends.
By a 20-point margin, more Wisconsinites trust Gov. Tony Evers to lead the state’s reopening than the Republican-led Wisconsin State Legislature.
The Thompson Center was joined by former governor Tommy G. Thompson and Wisconsin State Senator Fred A. Risser, the longest serving lawmaker in American history. Tommy Thompson and Senator Risser reflected on their time in office and discussed changes they bore witness to during their time in office. Each also shared their thoughts on good governance and gave some advice for up and coming leaders of the future.
Our state universities will lose a lot if we change each of them into one thing for just a few people.
A split state Supreme Court on Wednesday struck down the Evers administration’s latest stay-at-home order, ruling it should’ve been issued as a rule to give lawmakers oversight of the process dictating precautions to deal with the COVID-19 pandemic.
I can’t understand is the absolute disregard for human life and the safety of others that so many of these self-proclaimed “patriots” proudly put on display whenever they go out in public, whether it’s to take part in a demonstration or to go to the grocery store.
While Gov. Tony Evers wants to look magnanimous by giving the impression that Wisconsin is starting to reopen, the truth is that this administration is doing everything in its power to keep the state shut down.
Taylor writes about how the Choctaw people collected $170, the equivalent of $6,000 in today’s dollars, and sent it to Ireland during the Great Potato Famine. Now, the people of Ireland have helped raise nearly $3 million dollars to help out the Navajo and Hopi tribes as they deal with COVID-19.
Attention Evers: We sacrificed; we flattened the curve. So stop moving the goal posts.
Healthy companies are the backbone of the country. With companies in a heap of trouble, some of them generations in the making, nothing works very well in America. Sens. Sanders and Warren would never acknowledge that reality.
The U.S. has one of the worst per capita ratings in the world in terms of dealing with coronavirus. Trump just said it was one of the best.
Preferential contracts undermine the truly disadvantaged, and programs are prone to fraud.
Especially in the middle of a public health crisis, we should be doing more to keep our water resources protected and safe, not less.
Good news, small retailers: Gov. Tony Evers thinks you’re “deserving” of re-opening — but you can only welcome five customers at a time.
78% of early cases traced to NYC, before federal government finally began to take action.
Tyson was right that the food supply chain is broken. But the industrial agriculture model that concentrates food and power into major and vulnerable collection points in that chain is itself one of its most broken elements.
Sadly for Wisconsin, at a time we need a Tommy Thompson, we’re stuck with a Tony Evers.
By always choosing to take the low road, Vos creates a circumstance where others feel they can, or must, do the same.
