Nuclear weapons seem to get less attention than other critical issues like climate change and healthcare. But, given the President’s sole authority over nuclear weapons, we really should be hearing more from the candidates.
Manufacturing experts say businesses are watching the state’s squabble with Foxconn closely. The uncertainty created by the Evers administration does not bode well for future economic development, they say.
Though the law requires every senator to take a special oath affirming they will act as “impartial” jurists, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell assured President Trump that he would work in “total coordination” with the White House on how to proceed.
The Democratic Party’s track record and the event’s unknown price tag suggest taxpayers may be on the hook for Milwaukee’s July convention.
Knowledge-based, scientifically related jobs are becoming ever more important as the generator of employment and income, and those jobs are closely tied to investment in higher education — especially research.
Walker didn’t use if for eight years. How should Evers use it?
The Evers administration needs to think outside the box to get Medicaid expansion. Consider asking former GOP state Senator Dale Schultz to be the point person with the legislature. He could help make a New Year’s resolution of expanding Medicaid a reality.
The dramatic and seemingly paradoxical turn in support for impeachment reveals this, and once House Democrats’ overreach inevitably backfires, they will have only themselves—and the Scott Walker Effect—to blame.
The coalition of the state’s biggest corporations and business interests isn’t satisfied with weakening unions and eviscerating even the most common-sense regulations. Remarkably, it’s now knee-deep into fighting efforts to protect clean water in the state.
With an historic House vote on impeachment of President Trump looming, the WisOpinion Insiders, Chvala and Jensen, examine the political impact on Wisconsin voters. Sponsored by the Wisconsin Counties Association and Michael Best Strategies.
A UW-Madison program that links university students and faculty with Wisconsin communities seeking research assistance is gaining traction.
The Democrat-controlled House last week passed the “Voting Rights Advancement Act.” It’s the latest in a line of noble-sounding legislation that cedes more power to the federal government and erodes election integrity.
If Milwaukee’s corporate leadership is sincere in wanting to address the city’s segregation and African American poverty, it needs to support the Fight for $15 living wage movement, recognize the right for workers to organize unions and engage in collective bargaining and support increased investments in public and public higher education.
It’s way past time for the lip service we’ve been given for decades. As Wisconsin prospers, so should northern Wisconsin and all the citizens of the state.
Gov. Evers vetoes bill that would have helped aspiring certified nursing aides and eased CNA shortage in Wisconsin.
Instead of punishing those who work hard under adverse circumstances not of their own making, we need policies supporting them as they struggle to climb to higher income levels.
Using America’s historical sins, her people’s passionate penance for those sins — and their longing for absolution, the left has turned racism inside-out, cloaked it in virtue and weaponized it for the cause of destroying the fabric of this nation.
Seven more journalists leaving, including some big names, as paper shrinks further.
Without a change in the make-up of the CAFO-loving Legislature, substantive relief is still years away.
