Overcoming the deep divisions fostered by Scott Walker’s “divide-and-conquer” approach to governing, and getting state government focused on serving all of Wisconsin, is going to be an all-hands-on-deck project. Tony Evers is a smart enough man to know that he is lucky to have Mandela Barnes at his side.
Following his victory in the Democratic primary for governor Tuesday night, Superintendent of Public Instruction Tony Evers made big promises on education but omitted any plans for funding them in his victory speech.
Walker knows he is in trouble and has been sounding the alarm for months. He will run a no holds barred race to save his political career.
The divisiveness of the primary must give way to a united conservative movement or every one of Wisconsin’s conservative reforms is in jeopardy.
The number of students enrolled in teacher preparation programs is shrinking and schools are seeing fewer people apply for teaching positions. The Public Policy Forum found that between the 2008 and 2013 school year, enrollees in Wisconsin teacher training programs declined by 29 percent.
Walker’s health insurance maneuvering is the most perplexing. Along with Donald Trump, he has been a fierce opponent of the Affordable Care Act for reasons that are hard to understand.
Wisconsin has been hit again by flooding that scoured away cars, pavement, and land. We’ve also got Scott Walker’s ‘chamber of commerce mentality’ management that scrubbed away important information about why the flooding is likely to get worse, having ignored expert, public warnings about insufficient stormwater management and funding since 2003.
With the primary results in the books, the WisOpinion Insiders, Chvala and Jensen, assign winners and losers in races for governor, U.S. Senate and other contests. Sponsored by Michael Best Strategies and the Wisconsin Counties Association.
This corrosion of civic education is manifesting itself in the types of leaders Americans are choosing and in what citizens expect of those leaders once they take office.
Call this “fake news” if you want, but I think if independent journalism some day disappears, we, the people, can count on getting the government we will deserve.
America is not a fascist state yet. But it could get there in a hurry.
Central to the Republican stratagem is restricting voting by groups that tend to vote Democratic: youth, minorities, the poor and disabled.
The Republican Party’s campaign against Tony Evers began minutes after he won the Democratic primary, and voters should expect to see plenty more through November given Gov. Scott Walker’s slim record of accomplishments to tout.
His stance on school choice may kick thousands of low-income Milwaukee students out of their schools.
People are tired of the con and are ready to have policy delivered by a calm, competent figure they can trust.
Beyond the vote totals, who were the other winners and losers in yesterday’s election?
He ran hard early not against Donald Trump, but Paul Ryan. And he might have peaked too soon.
The Democrats got what are probably the best possible outcomes in their own gubernatorial primary and in the Republican primary that determined who will challenge U.S. Sen. Tammy Baldwin.
I believe that Speaker Ryan will be forever known as the family-first Speaker. For this reason, I think it is fitting that his signature achievement is a bill that will help other families by allowing them to keep more of their hard-earned money, all while growing the economy and enabling Wisconsinites to realize the American dream.
Newspapers across the United States are editorializing today in defense of freedom of the press — a necessary act at a time when Donald Trump’s disdain for the basic premises of the American experiment is most on display in his visceral reaction to journalists and journalism.
