Here at UW, our efforts to combat sexual harassment began before the issue made headlines and I assure you they will continue. I am encouraged by the momentum we are seeing and deeply appreciate the efforts of the students, staff and faculty who are committed to helping our campus move forward on this issue.
In “Two Minutes with Mitch” radio personality Mitch Henck gives his two cents after federal agents raided the office of President Donald Trump’s personal attorney, Michael Cohen.
Republicans and conservatives are losing at the ballot box in Wisconsin and nationally.
Wisconsin’s voters may have just signaled that holding your head high consists of more than approving sleazy advertising, especially when it comes to hoping to serve on the state’s highest court. Whether the state’s powerful business lobby got that signal is yet to be determined.
He lashes out in frustration after Judge Dallet’s high court victory, afraid a blue wave is heading his way.
Surely, had Kooyenga had to do it all over again, he wouldn’t have moved Madison protester Donald Johnson’s sign. But paying someone $30,000 as a salve for hurt feelings is absurd, especially now that the public has to write the check. Johnson’s brief moment of discomfort is worth an apology, and nothing more.
Last week Governor Walker said he is willing to send our Wisconsin National Guard to the Mexican border. That is not what they signed up for. They are willing to be activated in cases of a state or national emergency, not political stunts.
If we can afford $4.5 billion for Foxconn, we can afford $50 million a year for our rural communities.
The Insiders, Chvala & Jensen, debate whether Gov. Scott Walker and majority Republicans did enough in the legislative session to prepare for the coming election storm. Sponsored by the Wisconsin Counties Association and Michael Best Strategies.
Rebecca Dallet’s Supreme Court win over Michael Screnock has been held up by Democrats as a sign Republicans are in trouble as the November elections approach. Gov. Scott Walker has warned of a potential “blue wave” and has called on fellow Republicans to highlight the positive things they’ve done for the state to help fend it off.
Does he face an unstoppable “blue wave”? Maybe.
RightWisconsin Editor James Wigderson appeared on the Steve Scaffidi show to explain the election results, including the decision by the voters to keep the state treasurer’s office.
This is the text of a speech delivered by veteran Wisconsin politico Bill Kraus upon acceptance on April 4 of the first Lifetime Achievement Award for Civic Leadership from the Wisconsin Institute for Public Policy and Service. WIPPS celebrated its 10th anniversary with an event in Wausau.
Wisconsin needs a cultural revolution, one that fosters taking risks and thinking like an entrepreneur. If we wait for others to do it we lose ground in a rapidly changing world.
Do I really think the Second Amendment will be repealed? Not any time soon. But just talking and writing about it whenever we can is important.
Not all blame should lay with Driver herself. The job of Milwaukee superintendent is, quite simply, hamstrung from pursuing most meaningful reform by a school board that is beholden to the interests of the teachers union. Expectations for big, bold reforms that could improve the academic outcomes for Milwaukee’s students weren’t all that likely from Driver, or anyone in that position.
In the wake of the high court race, widely viewed as a referendum on Walker and fellow Republicans in the Legislature, Democrats are exultant that the worm may finally have turned.
In “Two Minutes with Mitch” radio personality Mitch Henck gives his analysis after Rebecca Dallet’s Wisconsin Supreme Court election win over Michael Screnock.
Shortsighted politicians don’t take notice of the tremendous cumulative effect of tax cuts. But hardworking Americans see the changes adding up every day.
