The following is an excerpt from Proxmire: Bulldog of the Senate, by Jonathan Kasparek, published by the Wisconsin Historical Society Press. The book is available through libraries and book retailers statewide and online at www.wisconsinhistory.org/store. The book is also available as an e-book.
There is no need to protect small businesses by forcing Wisconsin consumers to pay higher prices than they would pay in a freely competitive market.
As part of Sunshine Week, an annual celebration of open government that runs from March 10-16, the Wisconsin Freedom of Information Council is bestowing its 13th annual Openness Awards, or Opees.
Wisconsin should join neighbors Minnesota and Michigan, and several other states, in authorizing the creation of these licensed mid-level professionals.
The renewed permission to hunt wolves in Wisconsin and other states suddenly announced by the Trump administration is just another sacrifice of natural resources belonging to all the people which this administration has zero interest in protecting.
Does Judge Lisa Neubauer agree with Justice Shirley Abrahamson that school vouchers are unconstitutional?
Because it opposes the choices of many of its customers.
Last week, Gov. Tony Evers introduced a very promising UW System budget proposal for the next biennium.
Wisconsin should assess property based upon fair market value and let the chips fall where they may. That’s how it works for your home and small owner-occupied businesses, and that is how it should work for larger commercial properties as well.
Right now it looks like an endless stalemate. But appearances can be deceiving.
Assembly Speaker Robin Vos and his Republican colleagues in the state Assembly aren’t faring too well in the national conversation about whether white guys should be able to dictate who we celebrate during February’s Black History Month.
The great American parlor game for the last week has been dissecting the one public Michael Cohen hearing.
What took place as Donald Trump stood for over two hours in front of CPAC attendees must not be dropped from our national conversation. It was the profane language Trump used which makes for many wondering today what has happened to the national dialogue in our nation.
Holder’s plan to campaign on behalf of Neubauer would run counter to the judge’s statements that she would ask outside groups not to campaign for her.
If you view both candidates as “biased,” surely one of their biases is worse than the other’s.
Making the state more appealing to all businesses remains the better course.
The sad reality is that there is a myriad of reasons that victims do not come forward sooner to reveal that they have been sexually assaulted to include shame, denial, fear and more.
What Legislature gives, veto can take away. The battle has begun.
Evers is determined to renew Wisconsin’s historic commitment to worker rights. And he is proposing concrete steps in that direction, with an ambitious plan to overturn the noxious “right-to-work” legislation that was a centerpiece of Walker’s second-term agenda.
It’s time for the 14th annual Madison Reads Leopold event at the UW Arboretum.
