Here are a few prognostications and trends to watch.
Pundits and politicians who are wrapped up in the debilitating D.C. politics of this moment will always second-guess someone like Tony Evers. They will not recognize, let alone understand, what drives the new governor of Wisconsin.
Just before Christmas, Gov. Tony Evers announced his selection of Craig Thompson to be the next secretary of the Department of Transportation. While the choice has earned praise among road builders, supporters of good government and fiscal responsibility should be skeptical of the appointment.
Evers has learned that running for governor is much easier than doing the job. Campaign promises often have to be watered down, delayed or abandoned in the face of on-the-job realities.
He’s earned $2.3 million from government, and is already running for office again.
Governor who warned voters about evils of this city will now live here.
While we as a nation have had some dark times, one of the shining times in our nation is when President Kennedy challenged our country in 1961.
While looking into different issues, I have had cause to file open records requests with three local governments in recent months. The inconsistent responses reveal how challenging it still is for a Wisconsinite to hold his government accountable when government officials choose to be difficult.
Scott Walker is manufacturing the slowest possible ride into the sunset after being beaten for governor of Wisconsin in 2018.
The oaths of office seem to have become mere words inserted into a ceremonial inauguration, their meaning and role in democratic America often forgotten by politicians who apparently have no intention of putting the public’s interest first.
We agree with Gov.-elect Tony Evers that it is high time to have an honest conversation about the voucher programs in Wisconsin.
Trump now bellows for a long shutdown for “months or even years” if he doesn’t get his wall.
The new year brings personnel changes to the State Capitol’s East Wing as the WisOpinion Insiders, Chvala and Jensen, augur what Wisconsin’s political future may hold. Sponsored by the Wisconsin Counties Association and Michael Best Strategies.
The Wisconsin Capitol’s 39th annual celebration of Martin Luther King Jr. is at noon on Jan. 21.
Please do your part to insure that disagreement does not become hate. We must seek common ground and work to understand each other; only then will we restore civility.
