The last three biennial state budgets in Wisconsin saw the enactment of dramatic reductions in state spending on K-12 public education. As you may have guessed, deciding to spend less on education as a state has not meant that education is any less expensive today than it was four budgets ago.
It’s possible that the Trump-Ryan bill is merely mostly dead, rather than thoroughly demised.
Cutting federal funds to local law enforcement would probably do more to harm to public safety than illegal immigration does.
Pundits on both the left and the right say the threat of a constitutional overhaul is real.
Our state budget invests more into K-12 education than ever before in Wisconsin.
The media campaign, complete with its attack ads and spending that is provided by — laughably — “independents,” makes it next to impossible to compete.
In “Two Minutes with Mitch” radio personality Mitch Henck says what Democrats should do now that Tim Cullen out of the run for governor.
The column below reflects the views of the author, and these opinions are neither endorsed nor supported by WisOpinion.com. On Wednesday, North Carolina GOP Senator Richard Burr, chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, indicated that the committee’s investigation into Russian
Unlike President Trump, we urge policymakers to consider the scientific evidence that atmospheric levels of carbon dioxide are increasing and global climate change is occurring, at least in part, as a result of man-made activities.
In Wisconsin, should a person suffering a slow and painful death from a terminal illness have the right to medically end his or her life?
We are being denied access to the only lifelines we have: therapies showing promising benefits in clinical trials.
Right-wing WI Gov. and long-time pollution enabler Scott Walker has finally found a cut to environmental protection he can’t stomach: the full elimination of Great Lakes restoration funding proposed by President Trump.
While President Trump has the ability to inspire a messianic adoration from supporters, it becomes clearer by the day — and by the tweet — that his interest in humankind is pretty much limited to one human — himself.
The governor’s budget tethers student aid increases to employee benefits
The governor’s plan creates a three-part strategy: use the schools and a public information campaign to spread the word about the success sequence; use proven programs to provide help to at-risk parents with babies so they can improve their parenting skills; and reduce financial disincentives to marriage.
Voters could hardly have a clearer choice in this race.
Once a constitutional convention is convened, all of the protections of our rights we enjoy as citizens and all of the responsibilities we apportion to the federal and state government are on the table.
Carrying water for corporate farms, the cash-rich NRA, and major industries may play well at GOP political fundraisers. But the average citizen looks at it all and wonders how did we get so far removed from the ideals our state once embraced.
In what has become a biennial ritual, the Wisconsin media is crafting alarmist stories about the “structural deficit” in Governor Scott Walker’s proposed 2017-2019 state budget. What is new, however, is the tone of criticism several Republican lawmakers are voicing about the Walker budget in private conversations.
Here are three recent examples of people making the convenient slide from correlation to causality, including Governor Scott Walker’s attempts to show that his policies created jobs and Wisconsin Attorney General Brad Schimel’s argument that the Wisconsin gerrymander results from demographic changes. Of course, no discussion of political misleading claims would be complete without President Donald Trump.
