After record spending cuts to Wisconsin schools, Vos and the GOP-gerrymandered Wisconsin Assembly gave roughly only a paltry third of the funding increases to education requested by Gov. Tony Evers. This small increase, after the record cuts of recent years, then led Vos to feign frustration by asking, what are they doing with all that money?
Nichols sits down with Sanders to discuss whether the Democratic Party of the 21st century might again become as ideologically bold as it was in the latter stages of the New Deal era.
The most interesting fights for Wisconsin U.S. House seats often occur in the primaries. One reason for that is those jobs just don’t come open very often.
It’s time for government to stop turning patients into criminals.
Together we must listen to young people and save the planet from mad-made disasters.
Report finds Minnesota has 5 times more wind power, 16 times more solar than Wisconsin.
The strong voter concern about the climate crisis combined with the very high disapproval of Trump’s performance on climate is political dynamite. It can blow up Trump’s chances for reelection.
Dave Schreiner indeed was a hero, not only on the Badger football field, but in World War II, where he gave his life in the battle of Okinawa, only a few weeks before the Japanese surrender.
Against a background of high-profile mass shootings, the WisOpinion Insiders, Chvala and Jensen, debate whether Wisconsin legislators will initiate new gun laws. Sponsored by the Wisconsin Counties Association and Michael Best Strategies.
Provoked in part by media questioners, Democrats running for president talk incessantly about health-care politics. It’s as if the economy, climate change, firearms, foreign affairs and immigration hardly matter.
Fitzgerald and Tiffany have decided to run for Congress in two open, normally Republican seats. They both are beating their chests on how much they’ve helped the state with their “bold” and “decisive” leadership. The big question now is whether their unconscionable attacks on the choices voters made at the ballot box will be rewarded, allowing them to practice their mischief in Washington.
On this week’s Badgercast: Christopher Scalia, PhD, director of academic programs, American Enterprise Institute & co-author of “Scalia Speaks: Reflections on Law, Faith, and Life Well Lived” and “On Faith: Lessons from an American Believer.”
The GOP legislature, which is being controlled by the National Rifle Association, will never allow for reasonable gun control bills to see the light of day.
They’re opposed because the $5 billion in new educational investment would be directed by state-based not-for-profits in conjunction with students and parents, not bureaucrats.
What do state policies on Foxconn and dairy industry have in common?
Fair voting maps are fundamental to what makes democracy work.
What has happened in Baraboo since some high school students were photographed making a Nazi salute last November hasn’t been treated as news but should be.
The negative impacts of the F-35 deployment are too great, and we question why Truax is a top pick when the impact on our community is the most severe in terms of the wide area affected as well as the disproportionate impacts on children, people with low incomes and people of color out of the five sites being considered.
What’s been perplexing through the years is the Wisconsin agriculture community’s love affair with the party that hasn’t really ever done anything to help the farmers’ economic plight.
For the third straight school year, the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction (DPI) reports that far fewer than half of the state’s third through 11th graders are proficient in reading.
