Republican Tom Tiffany targets Public Trust doctrine that protects our waters.
There are good reasons for concern about the regents’ new freedom of expression policy.
In “Two Minutes with Mitch” radio personality Mitch Henck gives his two cents on revelations that Democrats helped fund research that led to a dossier about Donald Trump’s ties to Russia.
Walker doesn’t appear to have spent any time at the prison, with the prison’s inmates and staff. And that appears to be true of the vast majority of the state’s 132 lawmakers, too, according to Department of Corrections visitor logs.
Clinton’s failings, James Comey’s 11th-hour letter, Russian interference, fake news, sexism, racism, and a struggling economy in key swing states all contributed to Trump’s victory. We will never be able to assign exact proportions to all the factors at play. But a year later, interviews with voters, organizers, and election officials reveal that, in Wisconsin and beyond, voter suppression played a much larger role than is commonly understood.
The media now is having its feet held to the fire even as it wonders why establishment Republicans are not holding Trump’s feet to the fire the way a few respected senators have. There’s a sad, simple reason: Upcoming elections, one as soon as December, will keep political headlines percolating and the GOP fence-sitting.
In “Two Minutes with Mitch” radio personality Mitch Henck says it’s a little late for people such as Republican Sen. Jeff Flake to notice Donald Trump’s boorish behavior.
Higher income get more than low income, Waukesha more than Milwaukee.
Brian Fraley and Lisa Manna from Edge Messaging discussed the latest polling by Charles Franklin at Marquette University Law School.
There’s a growing sense among some scholars who make a living studying American government that the biggest danger to the Constitution is not limited to Donald Trump — it’s also endangered by America’s widening economic inequality.
Audit members are united in their commitment that problems at King be resolved. Our Audit Committee will continue efforts to ensure veterans’ homes are adequately funded and staffed.
Assembly Speaker Robin Vos’ shot at the Senate didn’t have the wit we associate with the great political insulters of history. But without politicians bickering, we’d be left with a bloodless, anodyne brand of politics, and who wants to watch that?
The Trump administration is playing games with American lives.
Donald Trump appears bent on achieving one major objective, at least for him: Dismantling the nation’s current health care system – no matter what the cost.
Or how Act 10’s exemption and police-fire benefits are driving a city budget crisis.
Cross is saying what many had whispered for years: A UW System with 26 separate institutions is unsustainable.
“Business-like” approach reduces faculty peer review, threatens academic excellence.
Vos is right that the pet concerns of three senators shouldn’t hold up an entire two-year spending plan. But Vos has been far less distressed about terrible government when it’s promised to benefit his political fortunes.
The Vos incident is just the tip of the iceberg of very public Republican in-fighting. That starts right at the top–with President Donald Trump putting anyone that doesn’t bow to his wishes or that criticizes his outrageous comments and twitter rants on full blast in all forms of the media.
As a member of 11 cooperatives throughout Wisconsin, and a former co-op board member, I am concerned about a bill working its way through the legislature that would change the definition of a cooperative in Wisconsin.
