NEA grants already awarded are cancelled, though not entirely for some.

Wisconsin’s history of legislative gerrymandering underpins yet another court challenge, this time involving congressional districts.

I am excited to introduce Assembly Bill 269 with Sen. Julian Bradley, R-New Berlin. It will give Wisconsinites who work on app-based platforms access to “portable” benefits they can take with them no matter where they work.

To combat Wisconsin’s skilled labor shortage in construction, the data argue for a reconsideration of public policies that promote investment in registered apprenticeship training.
