As you can see from the numerous posts about Mark on Facebook in recent days, he was well-liked by nearly everyone and had good reasons to be liked.
This week on “The Insiders,” Chvala and Jensen discuss whether former Gov. Scott Walker is the future of the state GOP. Sponsored by the Wisconsin Counties Association and Michael Best Strategies.
What the new law proposed by Sargent and Larson would actually do is limit freedom of speech in a way that benefits them.
Foxconn workers, insiders say Racine project is failing in Bloomberg story.
Assembly Speaker Robin Vos managed in a state without two spare potholes-filling nickels to rub together to steer to and through his district a quarter of a billion federal and state road-and-interchange widening dollars that will trigger sprawl beyond bulldozed Mount Pleasant farms even if Foxconn never diverts a gallon of Lake Michigan water to produce a single big screen LCD TV.
My guess is that none of the political decision-makers negotiating the Foxconn deal had the business experience to dig deeply. If so, they plainly did not use their common sense.

Several public officials still cling to the thinning hope that Wisconsin wasn’t a prize chump in yet another Foxconn fiasco. But industry observers are making harsh comparisons. Several suggest Foxconn is ducking, dinking and delaying until Trump leaves office so it can then blame departure on any successor.
Wouldn’t Tammy Baldwin be a uniquely compelling 2020 candidate?
Let’s remember the courage of those big and small who refused to kneel to a culture that did not want to be confronted with its own flaws.
Could Soglin be beat? Yes. But he won’t lose to a candidate who simply runs against him. He will lose only to a candidate who — like the winning contender in 1973 — makes a more compelling case for what a mayor of Madison can and should be doing.
