There appears to be nothing bad that Trump could do that would, in Ryan’s mind, outweigh the benefits of the GOP tax cuts. That is moral myopia.

The best word to describe the 2017 NAEP for Wisconsin is stagnation.

For sure, Uber represents change. But once again we’re reminded that change isn’t always for the better.

Our bold reforms are responsible for transitioning over 25,000 people off food stamps in Wisconsin – transferring people from government dependence to true independence through the dignity that’s born from work.

How would you like it if you did not have an elected representative for nearly a year?

The question we should be asking is why Republican leaders are punishing their colleagues for promoting real conservative, free-market ideas.

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.
