Someday, Wisconsin political historian will consider the high point of Scott Walker’s career to be the millisecond before Donald Trump descended down his tacky gold-painted escalator at Trump Tower to announce that he was joining the Republican primary race for President.
Our state and the nation are at record employment. Wages are up. Taxes are down. University tuition frozen. Scott Walker landed the biggest single employer in history. Shockingly, he went down to defeat.
Walker fatigue finally caught up with Scott Walker. So did two years of Donald Trump.
“Every Action done in Company, ought to be with Some Sign of Respect, to those that are Present.”
A new study shows Seattle’s minimum wage increases brought benefits to many workers employed when the higher pay took effect, while a relatively few were left worse off.
Number of jobs, number of prisoners, dollars saved on roads, and more.
Vote by 18-to-29 year-olds surging in some states. What about Wisconsin?
Let me sell you on an idea: Sen. Tammy Baldwin (D) and Gov. Scott Walker (R) can both win re-election.
World War I was the war that turned Wisconsinites against war. The conflict was so reckless, so brutal, and so completely unnecessary that for generations after its conclusion on Nov. 11, 1918, the awful memory of “the war to end all wars” has inspired a distrust of militarism and war profiteering that has always run deeper in Wisconsin than most states.
The loudest voice of all is the one that is heard at the ballot box. That’s where those costly and often-misleading attack ads financed by special interests hoping to benefit from the election results can be met head on by average Americans struggling to get a fair shake.
Despite my lack of excitement for the election this year, I will be voting with a sense of urgency because experience has taught me that the Wisconsin Democratic Party is as determined to overturn conservative social and individual freedom policies from the past eight years as it is to repeal conservative fiscal policies.
Want to be an informed voter? Reading newspapers and watching the “news” in Wisconsin won’t make one an informed voter in 2018. Can we have a democracy without accurate information on our political choices?
RightWisconsin asked a number of sharp-eyed political observers to stick their necks out to predict the results of Tuesday’s elections in Wisconsin.
Even conservatives suggest the AG’s suit against Affordable Care Act is bad law.
Secrecy in government, compounded by court-ordered secrecy, gives rise to speculation and rumor. That never serves the public interest.
The WisOpinion Insiders, Jensen and Chvala, give their party’s closing argument just days before Tuesday’s elections for governor, U.S. Senate, attorney general and the Legislature. Sponsored by the Wisconsin Counties Association and Michael Best Strategies.
The WisOpinion Insiders, Chvala and Jensen, outline the top issues affecting Tuesday’s elections. Sponsored by the Wisconsin Counties Association and Michael Best Strategies.
Trump and his Republican allies — supported by what truly is the “fake news” media — have demonized the traditional practice of objective journalism that questions government authority.
If you look at what we’ve accomplished, we have earned your vote. We stopped typical gridlock and have grown our nation’s economy. The military is stronger today. Opportunities are more prevalent. Even with all of those accomplishments, we have more we can do to make things better for millions of Americans, and we’re asking you for that chance on Tuesday.
Wisconsin families deserve access to health plans they can afford that fit their needs and cover pre-existing conditions. Unfortunately, affordability and individualization are not possibilities under Baldwin’s plan.
