Too many people are unaware of their rights under the records and meetings laws. That enables government officials to put unnecessary roadblocks in their way.
The WisOpinion Insiders, Chvala and Jensen, debate the politics behind the GOP Senate’s historic rebuke of Gov. Tony Evers’ ag secretary. Sponsored by the Wisconsin Counties Association and Michael Best Strategies.
The first is how Donald Trump is increasingly seen as despicable and immoral by much of the nation. The other theme concerns Democrats and a seemingly existential conflict between the far left and the center left.
Nothing indicates the panic in the donor class more than Michael Bloomberg’s head fake and baby steps on entering the presidential sweepstakes out of fear that sensible centrist talk may not stand up against the extreme wealth tax ideas simultaneously circling the Democratic field.
Senate Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald’s explanation about why the Senate didn’t take up a package of bills to attack the homelessness problem in the state was enough to make a normal person sick.
Evers had ordered the Legislature to convene a special session on gun-restriction bills. Late Thursday, Republicans gaveled in and gaveled out without taking up any of the Dem measures.
While it’s great that UW athletes might be able to appear in the same kinds of commercials that Alvarez does, this is likely only to benefit the star players. The next vital step is to allow the 98 percent of players who will never make it to the pros to get their fair share of those billion dollars in big time college sports revenues. Players should be paid a substantial salary and allowed to form a union.
No festival official attends scheduled meeting. Partnership with city “broken”, Ald. Murphy says.
The Wisconsin legislature should apply for a Convention of States so that we, the people, can reassert control over the federal government of the United States. Fifteen states have already taken this step, and it is time for Wisconsin to join.
Gov. Tony Evers is dimming the lights on open government just 10 months in as governor.
Their bottom line is economic equality. It’s what they stood for in Milwaukee’s heyday, and it’s what they stand for today.
This time around, we’re not going to simply assume that anyone’s going to turn out for Democrats. We’re going to show up, listen, organize, and make the case for every vote.
There is one interpretation of Tuesday’s results that should be bipartisan: Gerrymandering is just an excuse for losers.
2018 Dem congressional sweep may have been ephemeral.
They degrade Wisconsin scenery and are unnecessary in digital world.
Acid attack against man for “invasion” of Hispanics couldn’t be more wrong about their impact.
It’s time for a fresh look. The UW Regents need to look outside for the next president.
State government needn’t have a hand in the retirement-savings fix; private-sector options already proliferate.
As a libertarian, I favor the eventual elimination of publicly funded welfare. But the handful of people that drug testing would ensnare and remove from the rolls is a microscopic drop in the bucket compared to the trillions of dollars of corporate welfare doled out by both the Democrats and Republicans every year – at every level of government.
Flipping Wisconsin is not only important, but achievable, meaning that anyone who participates can play a meaningful role.
