In contrast to today’s legislative crusades to protect right-wingers when they speak on campus, the conservatives of the ’50s and ’60s were busy trying to keep left-wingers from speaking at all.
Nineteen states have called for a Constitutional amendment that would overturn the disastrous Citizens United decision. Rep. Scott Allen won’t even allow a public hearing on a resolution that would let Wisconsinites vote on this core issue of our time.
System needs reform. Proposed law is badly needed.
Natural disasters will happen, with or without climate change. The trick is understanding how to mitigate the effects of those disasters before and after they happen.

Wisconsin congressional Republicans are not facing reality. Trump is unhinged.
With a large field, a truly terrible candidate could win with a small plurality of the vote and subsequently be hammered by Walker in the general election. If they want even the faintest of chances, the Democrats either need fewer candidates or one plausible one.
Hemp in Wisconsin is a crop whose time has come. Passage of SB 119 will begin the work of bringing back Wisconsin’s hemp industry. Let’s make 2017 the year of hemp.
In June, I introduced a ‘Zero-based Budget’ bill with Representative Rob Hutton, R-Brookfield, that provides greater transparency and enables the legislature to exercise its oversight function within the state budget process.
