Lots of possible taxes and fees, but can legislators agree on any?
There is widespread disappointment, even despair among some citizens, that neither President Donald Trump nor Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) has addressed the most critical issue facing the country: corn syrup.
Clean drinking water initiatives, more school funding and expanded dental coverage in BadgerCare. We’re seeing more of Democratic Governor Tony Evers’ priorities in his first budget, and, by implication, the range of just some of what Walker and his legislative allies had dismissed from public agendas or damaged statewide since 2011.
While most of us are tempted to wail on and on about the despicable personal character of Trump, leaders like Evers and Baldwin forgo the politics of bellicosity and focus on ideas to help ordinary people.
Trump’s State of the Union address was the opposite of Wisconsin Democratic Governor Tony Evers’s State of the State address in humanity, tone and substance.

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.
There’s a way to end old welfare programs that discourage gainful employment and replace them with a new policy that rewards work, without saying “so long” to compassion.
