There’s a way to end old welfare programs that discourage gainful employment and replace them with a new policy that rewards work, without saying “so long” to compassion.
Vos and Fitzgerald support lawsuit overturning Obamacare, but voters don’t.
Resistance is the only Democrat agenda. Bipartisanship is a laughable concept. Compromise is out of the question. Democrats want just one thing: Trump’s defeat.
If in the end Foxconn does pull the plug altogether, far from accepting “blame,” Evers should take the credit.
It is time for new ideas, new people, someone who lives and breathes progressive principles.
Last month’s Marquette University statewide poll didn’t have much good news for the Republicans who continue to control Wisconsin’s two legislative houses.
Fears by legislative fiscal hawks that the Transportation Stakeholder Task Force would be nothing more than a “tax force” seemingly have come to pass.
Foxconn stops construction after receiving vast amounts of corporate welfare, Republicans try to cover up their failure.
Several public officials still cling to the thinning hope that Wisconsin wasn’t a prize chump in yet another Foxconn fiasco. But industry observers are making harsh comparisons. Several suggest Foxconn is ducking, dinking and delaying until Trump leaves office so it can then blame departure on any successor.
Wouldn’t Tammy Baldwin be a uniquely compelling 2020 candidate?
Let’s remember the courage of those big and small who refused to kneel to a culture that did not want to be confronted with its own flaws.
Could Soglin be beat? Yes. But he won’t lose to a candidate who simply runs against him. He will lose only to a candidate who — like the winning contender in 1973 — makes a more compelling case for what a mayor of Madison can and should be doing.
The more we know about the efforts by officials in Racine to shield public records from public view, the more outrageous it seems.
With a liberal governor, the conservative majorities in the Legislature are relegated to a rearguard action to defend the magnificent gains made in the last eight years. But the Legislature’s rampart might be flanked if Wisconsin’s liberals are able to seize control of Wisconsin’s Supreme Court.
Republicans say they want to work together, but have yet to act on it.
With the new administration taking shape, advocacy groups across the state are asking how do we operate in the new normal? How are we going to get legislation passed? The answer is simple: activate people at the grassroots level!
Evers showed once again that his style shuns nastiness and name-calling, preferring instead to make points that respect the opinions of others while using a subtle approach to tell them they’re wrong.
The Foxconn deal concocted by Trump and then Wisconsin GOP Governor Scott Walker was heralded as the “eighth wonder of the world”. They promised high-paying factory jobs to make big television flat screens. One big catch – Wisconsin taxpayers had to pony up more than $4 billion, including direct cash payments, to Foxconn.
For the first time in Wisconsin history, a majority of those working in the governor’s office are women.
