The appointment of Scot Ross, the former executive director of One Wisconsin Now, to the Wisconsin Ethics Commission has drawn criticism from both conservatives and liberals because of his public conduct and infamous potty mouth.
With the dust settling from the controversial April election in Wisconsin, the WisOpinion Insiders, Chvala and Jensen, consider some solutions to improve future elections. Sponsored by Michael Best Strategies and the Wisconsin Counties Association.
The medical professionals have told us time and time again it is not wise to go back to “normal” until we have the capacity to test far more people. We also need to be able to trace those who have been infected with the novel coronavirus, and who they may have come in contact with.
Republican push to reopen state economy depends on distorting the data.
Gov. Tony Evers “turned the dial” a little bit this week.
In the realm of public policy, encouraging work isn’t meant to shame or punish an individual, it’s meant to lift them up.
Trump is merely reviving one of America’s ghosts of history, the era of the snake oil salesmen and women.
Outdated Wisconsin law hampers electric automaker’s direct-sales business model.
Federal court rejects his group’s challenge of non-partisan redistricting in Michigan.
Virus is under control until it isn’t.
We need to find ways to reopen our schools come the fall so the learning and socialization of youngsters can again be a part of their daily lives. We simply do not have the capability to educate students via long-distance learning in an equitable manner.
Through Gov. Evers’ extension of the Stay and Home Order, businesses and individuals are being crippled with no opportunity for relief. Sweden has had success with minimal governmental interference on everyday business, while still advocating for social distancing when necessary.
Abrams says she’s not campaigning to be Joe Biden’s vice president — but, if you ask her if she’d take the job, she won’t shy away from sharing her qualifications.
Virtually everyone is going to struggle to pay their taxes and it would add insult to injury if local governments were to propose tax increases this fall while not imposing any pain on their own organizations.
A Wisconsin Dells business finds itself the possible victim of a government arbitrarily exercising its emergency powers during the coronavirus pandemic.
Cash payments put Americans in the driver’s seat because they are empowered to decide how to spend it: pay bills, buy groceries, save, invest in a more energy efficient car, spend it at a local business, or anything else.
DHS’ order at once represents a grossly unconstitutional infringement on individual rights, an arbitrary and capricious application of draconian restrictions on the citizenry, and a blatant violation of Wisconsin law governing emergency powers.
The virus can easily spread to smaller towns and rural areas if safeguards are not in place.
The plan is short on substance, based on milestones that are unclear and difficult to measure, and leaves the decisions about when and how to reopen the Wisconsin economy up to the unfettered discretion of DHS.
I join federal legislators like Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) who called for data transparency to ensure that businesses of color are being shut out of these loans. For many Americans, these loans will be all that businesses have to help them hang on through the pandemic.
