In an era where the unthinkable becomes reality, now is the time for the Wisconsin legislature to be proactive.
After the GOP-run Joint Finance Committee stripped out Dem Gov. Tony Evers’ budget priorities, WisOpinion Insiders Chvala & Jensen analyze the politics behind the story. Sponsored by the Wisconsin Counties Association and Michael Best Strategies.
On May 9, the GOP-dominated Joint Finance Committee disregarded the wishes of the overwhelming majority of Wisconsinites on a number of crucial items in Evers’s budget.
The Wisconsin Guard has to reexamine its procedures, institute better training for commanders and officers on what to look for and establish a support system that can restore a soldier’s self-esteem.
In dairy, the only thing we know for certain is that the industry will continue to change. Research and innovation are key to navigating that change and setting the course for the future.
If viewed from a long-term perspective Trump’s tariffs represent a successful conclusion, not the failure, of trade talks with China.
I urge our communities to keep contacting their legislators to let them know that the people want Medicaid expansion and the people want a budget that’s for them.
Rather than demand safe spaces and PC, exhibit mental toughness and focus on how to disagree better.
Polls, public hearings show support for more K-12 education funding, Medicaid expansion, medical pot.
I would hope that people from all walks of life can come together against using abortion as a tool of discrimination.
So says a Cato Institute report. There’s reason to doubt this.
It’s like the whole state was enrolled against its will in Trump University. Because we’re seeing again how far in over their heads were Walker and the WEDC he had created as they worked a ‘deal’ with Foxconn, a far more stable, experienced and sophisticated multi-national corporation.
A Wisconsin 2020 election preview just played out in the spring election season here and it is not a good thing for the people of Wisconsin.
As Wisconsin policymakers craft the next state budget, I urge them to consider the invaluable benefits the University of Wisconsin System brings to all parts of the state.
In a press release, DOT Secretary Craig Thompson provided a list of more than 200 projects on the bubble if Gov. Tony Evers’ plan for a higher gas tax is shelved.
The priorities of Wisconsinites are clear, but they’re still being ignored.
The American people may not be fully aware of it yet, but Trump’s dissembling of rules and regulations on everything from creating a level playing field between financiers and consumers to protecting clean water and air will come back to haunt them in the not too distant future.
The use of historic designation nowadays often has nothing to do with preservation.
Wisconsin taxpayers are on the hook for about $4.5 billion if you count the local subsidies as well. Foxconn’s Gau should have traveled to Madison to meet Gov. Evers, not the other way around. It was important symbolism and common good manners.
If Republicans fail to fight back nationally – instead of pushing back as we did in Wisconsin – we will find ourselves in a perpetual minority for a generation.
