The ongoing trade war is threatening to derail all of the great things President Trump has accomplished for our economy, especially here in Wisconsin.
Zweifel writes about Chicago Sun-Times columnist Neil Steinberg’s recent comments about the treatment of immigrant children at the Mexican border.
Governor Tony Evers’ budget vetoes actually increased government spending, something that was not supposed to be possible.
Wisconsin can and should continue to lead the way on education reform.
Evers could have (and, in my view, should have) made history by being the first Wisconsin governor to veto an entire budget.
We know our warming, stormier planet is in crisis mode. Which means we know it’s time to revive the sanity and simple science behind a half-century-old precept–“Think Globally, Act Locally.”
The biggest problem affecting the state budget process is the gerrymandering of the Legislature, which is now so severe that legislators are less interested in respecting the will of the people than at any time in Wisconsin history.
A new report shows traditional tech hubs like California and New York are no longer the only place benefitting from the tech industry. The growth of consumer technology is having a positive economic impact all over the country, including right here in Wisconsin.
Gov. Tony Evers has signed the two-year budget, but only after using his partial veto authority to pump nearly $100 million more into K-12 education than what Republicans had proposed. He also undercut former Gov. Scott Walker’s push to require

The most glaring budget omission was the failure of the GOP-controlled legislature to include Medicaid expansion.
Republicans agreed to so much of what Evers asked for that they faced a revolt by conservatives who said they were giving in to the governor.
When the state’s economy is printing money, unemployment is at a record low, and income taxes paid by corporations are running 57% ahead of last year because of federal tax reforms, governors and legislators can all smile and agree on a new state budget.
The WisOpinion Insiders, Jensen & Chvala, debate clean water, big dairy and lead contamination in Milwaukee. Sponsored by the Wisconsin Counties Association and Michael Best Strategies.
We are living in a time when it’s not a U.S senator from Wisconsin leading the intolerant among us, but the president of the United States himself — not screaming about communists, but about “socialists” who are the enemy of America and need to be demonized.
U.S. Supreme Court decision leaves it up to voters to demand non-partisan redistricting.
