Evers is proposing that private schools must complete all the steps of accreditation prior to participating in the choice programs.

Democratic Governors and even fair redistricting could return and help rebalance some politics in Wisconsin, but a deeply red State Supreme Court can blot out blue waves here for a generation and leave Walker’s damaging marks indelible.
We need to keep our eyes on the prize and that prize is a new president in January 2021.
Just as the national debate ramps up on a government take-over of the nation’s health care, it looks like employers and market forces have already worked out a business model that is taming previously out-of-control health costs.
