Despite the Governor’s criticism during the State of the State address on January 22, 2020, the legislature has been hard at work on bi-partisan, important legislation that solves problems.
Gov. Tony Evers did the right thing in his State of the State Address by promoting nonpartisan redistricting. In doing so, he gave a boost to the grassroots activists all across the state who are building a powerful movement to ban gerrymandering.
If Kennedy and Sullivan were so incompetent that they couldn’t oversee the collection of nomination signatures by their campaigns, how does anyone expect either of them to run the largest county in the state?
When it comes to The Donald bending the facts, no one is surprised — except, of course, when he completely goes over the top, like he did earlier this month when he took credit for a sharp one-year drop in the cancer rate.
Donald Trump is delivering the results that Wisconsinites want, while the Democrats vying to run against him are obsessing over issues that don’t matter to ordinary Americans.
Republicans surely will be dismissive of this reform idea as it came from the Democratic camp. But they should not be scornful of the folks across the state who are tired of being the pawns of partisan-hungry lawmakers.
Let’s dispense with the “nonpartisan” nonsense. If it’s a commission appointed by Evers, by its very nature the commission is a partisan Democratic commission.
Common Council concerned. “Borderline frightening” use of police power, Bauman charges.
As we move ahead into 2020, and beyond, we will continue to look for innovative and cost-saving ways to take care of the roads and bridges that connect us and to expand what our infrastructure offers.
Impeachment is no longer a solemn, powerful remedy for presidential malfeasance; it’s a political weapon that the opposition can’t wait to wield.
Republicans last week targeted Dem Reps. Vruwink, Myers and Doyle.
It’s easy to get caught up in hot button issues, but we need to concentrate on the things that can bring us together.
Lobbyist John Gard’s backing of Jason Church is a bad “Creature of the Black Lagoon” sequel.
Every American household already pays the equivalent of an $8,000-per-year tax for health care — everything from deductibles, co-pays to outrageous drug charges. That alone is far and above what a single-payer system would cost Americans.
Tony Evers made a mistake when appointing a career utility lawyer to be the PSC chair. He should do better this time.
Bill’s only purpose is to fan the flames of bigotry.
Now that two states bordering Wisconsin have recently legalized the recreational purchase and use of marijuana, it seems that perhaps Wisconsin needs to consider law changes related to driving under the influence of drugs, including marijuana.
Workforce and health care costs cannot be left out of the conversation.
If Trump and Wisconsin GOP politicians at Trump’s Milwaukee rally are so confident of success, why rush to purge more than 200,000 voters from Wisconsin’s voter rolls because of supposed faulty addresses?
