I wasn’t sent to Washington to take people’s health care away — I believe my job is to fix the system, not to blow it up and throw millions of people off their health care.
Former Governor Tommy Thompson regrets his role in implementing a 1991 plan to expand state prisons. While I don’t regret writing that plan, I do wish the state actually had implemented it.
A recently released DOT report’s general theme is that Wisconsin is borrowing less and spending prudently to meet transportation needs.
People’s Action reported they have learned voters in economically distressed rural communities want populist reforms like health care for all, fair wages, free access to education, clean water and a government that isn’t corrupted by the free flow of money from the wealthy.
Recently, Democrats on the Joint Finance Committee put out a press release critical of the amount of money that is spent on vouchers annually. Like many arguments put forth by opponents of school choice, the press release contains a number of misconceptions and misleading statements that warrant refutation
Why will they take until 2050? To make more profits and thereby cause more health problems.
I think I’ll go buy a new pair of shoes this week. And they’ll be Nikes. That’s because Nike has launched a new ad campaign that employs Colin Kaepernick, a quality pro quarterback that the NFL refuses to employ because it doesn’t like his political views.
The people of Wisconsin should be confident about the financial health of the state. Under Republican leadership, the state budget is not only balanced but it’s also projected to, once again, have a surplus.
Jobs grew 33 percent less under him compared to other states, the data shows.
They want a new venture fund and UW-Madison fund — all subsidized by our taxes
Muddy water may soon stop running off the rain-soaked Foxconn site – – video here – – but the flow of red ink the project will spill onto transportation programs and budgets looks to be long-term.
The State of Wisconsin is on the right path educating and preparing our children. Taking inventory of all the accomplishments under Gov. Scott Walker’s administration, you realize just how much is being done to help our children succeed.
Cap Times Idea Fest is an annual two-day festival presenting a load of diverse and offbeat discussions and events built around the audacious foundation of reaching a better state.
Each and every one of our kids deserve a school and a state that values them.
The next time someone tells you that MPS needs more money, remind them that more money does not mean a better academic performance.
When my boys were growing up and I was trying to help them find the fine line between the hard and soft sides of life in America, I pitched this: “Be as tough as you have to be, but no tougher.” It’s this line – between warrior when necessary and lover always – that John McCain mastered.
The McCain hatred from the Always Trump crowd goes beyond hyperbole to outright paranoia. Their McCain hatefest speaks volumes about their hero.
On the Daily Standard Podcast host Charlie Sykes and The Weekly Standard senior writer Michael Warren discuss McCain’s memorial service, Kavanaugh’s nomination hearings and the 2020 election.
This is a tale of two Wisconsin nature preserves battling for preservation. One was damaged from the skies, with little warning and no mechanism to stop it. The other could soon take place, enabled by multiple public agency approvals and officials’ signatures.
The importance of this November’s election will require voters truly concerned about the health of our nation’s democracy to put the current state of hyper-partisanship, and too often single issue voting, aside and do some broader candidate analysis.
