If government is going to work for all of us, we desperately need to end legal bribery.
For many state and local governments, the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in South Dakota v. Wayfair Inc. may seem like a revenue windfall.

But what will Trump’s impact be on state’s November election?
The accused Russian spy story is above the fold on front pages of newspapers, broadcast by TV-radio and all over the web. Walker is in the spotlight.
Gov. Scott Walker responds to stories linking him to an accused Russian in an interview with talk show host Jay Weber.
