It’s good to see the governor willing to talk about tolling as another option. We just hope he’s willing to go a little farther down that road toward a long-term sustainable solution for the state’s transportation needs.
While Wisconsin’s natural heritage was preserved and restored by generations of hunters and fishers who were predominantly white men, it might only survive into the future if a more diverse group of users joins them in the field and for different reasons.
Walker discusses the impact of Act 10 and the current state of the liberal and conservative movements in Wisconsin five years after the failed recall attempt with Media Trackers Communications Director Jerry Bader.
Instead of supporting programs that partner with local communities to create jobs and grow our rural Wisconsin economy, Trumps’s budget guts the programs they depend on.
Younger workers see no motivation to stay in a state with bad economic conditions, conservative politics.
Under RyanCare, millions of Americans will be paying more in health care to get less in coverage.
The Senate majority leader wanting to get a vote by the upcoming recess means there is more of an effort to get this political mess behind them than pass a bill that has any chance of being reconciled with the three-thumb crowd in the House.
It’s only a matter of time before the publishers come out with a how-to manual titled “Deplorables for Dummies.” A kind of field guide, if you will, for the bien pensants, the cultural elite, the social justice warriors on how to deal with the inevitable Trump supporter, should he be encountered in the wild.

Top Wisconsin CEO earned 1,237 times more than average worker.
If Medicaid disappeared, most children’s hospitals would see such a significant drop in their revenue that smaller ones would close and major institutions would be forced to scale back immensely. This would stifle their ability to train high-quality health care providers, gain expertise in new procedures, and develop innovations.
The pejorative use of “mainstream media” has been one aspect of a multi-decade campaign by right-wing interests to undercut and discredit objective reporting.
Joint Finance Democrats raise issues that could be used against Walker.
3,776. That’s the number of manufacturing jobs lost in Wisconsin in 2016. Not gained, lost. While the U.S. economy added hundreds of thousands of jobs monthly, Wisconsin averaged less than a thousand.
