In “Two Minutes with Mitch” radio personality Mitch Henck says Tuesday’s Wisconsin Supreme Court race between Rebecca Dallet and Michael Screnock could be a test of a blue wave for Democrats in the November 2018 midterm election.
Government agencies should always be cognizant of their duties under transparency laws. But these duties gain extra import when government holds information that can help protect public health and safety.
On the Daily Standard Podcast, Adam Keiper and Stephen White join to discuss his recent article The Pope’s Mess, a review of Ross Douthat’s book about Pope Francis. Later, Andrew Egger and Jim Swift discuss the battle royale inside the West Wing to replace Hope Hicks, and host Charlie Sykes provides an update on Gov. Scott Walker’s special election folly.
The solution isn’t to ban autonomous vehicles long-term over a tragic death, but continue to test and improve upon their design and technology while adapting the transportation infrastructure so that others in the future may live.
Let’s face it, we have to be warned about so many “dangers” today that we as a society have come to just ignore the vast majority of them.
Wisconsin is working. We don’t want to turn back. Together, let’s keep moving Wisconsin forward.
The more I see those nasty television attack ads that are paid for by Wisconsin Manufacturers & Commerce, the more I wonder how the many leaders of the state’s business community, most of them dues-paying members of WMC, are able in good conscience to stomach them.
Big business group wants to buy another high court justice, as WMC has admitted.
Ronald Reagan used to remark how “freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction.” For Wisconsin conservatives, the saying should be “Walker’s bold conservative reforms are never more than one liberal-majority state Supreme Court away from extinction.”
You don’t go to San Francisco, to Nancy Pelosi’s backyard, groveling for cash without promising to be a social justice warrior in robes. Dallet has San Francisco values; Screnock played the tuba in the University of Wisconsin-Madison marching band.
The appearance of bias can be just as damaging to the integrity of the judicial process as actual bias. Wisconsinites should demand a recusal rule with teeth to maintain confidence in our legal system.
An altered line-item veto wouldn’t be a panacea for solving government overspending. But exposing earmarks was a good idea in the 1990s and still is now.
The WisOpinion Insiders, Chvala and Jensen, handicap the Supreme Court contest between Sauk County Judge Michael Screnock and Milwaukee County Judge Rebecca Dallet. Sponsored by Michael Best Strategies and the Wisconsin Counties Association.
These days, while boomers, generation Xers and millennials dominate most public stages, wouldn’t it be something if it is the youngsters from generation Z — those born after 1995 — who are central to restoring us to being a nation focused on the common good?
State Transportation Department no longer publishes data updates done for decades.
Ostensibly the April 3 election is non-partisan, but no one believes that. What happens in Wisconsin will reveal a lot about the future.
There are five important reasons to vote ‘no’ on this Constitutional referendum.
Neither Gov. Walker nor anyone else is forcing the UW-Stevens Point decision. The chancellor’s statement suggests it is, in fact, market driven.
Democrat La Follette served two-year terms from 1964 to 1968 while Republican Warren Knowles was governor. For sure they had their political differences, but rare was the occasion when they came to loggerheads over an issue.
Not doing special elections hasn’t saved money, it’s actually cost taxpayers. A lot.
