Will Flanders, the research director for the Wisconsin Institute for Law & Liberty, joins Editor James Wigderson on this week’s episode of RightWisconsin Conversations.
Walker’s allies on the Wisconsin Supreme Court continue to implement the governor’s anti-labor agenda.
Republican State Senator David Craig is circulating a proposal to empower a joint committee of the legislature to investigate the old Government Accountability Board.
The bill would allow the sale of prescription drugs for less than cost, just like in many other states. It should be fascinating to see the usual suspects who are opposed to any tampering with the misnamed Unfair Sales Act testify in favor of charging higher drug prices to Wisconsin consumers for their own good.
State voters rarely elect a gubernatorial candidate whose party holds the presidency.
After my first year in office, I have learned there is one constant you can always count on: Scott Walker will always choose to divide us rather than unite us.
In January, the state Public Service Commission asked investor-owned utilities to submit plans explaining how they were going to implement the federal tax bill’s changes “for the benefit of ratepayers.” Unfortunately, those plans don’t give customers enough.
Foxconn is buying a seven-story building in downtown Milwaukee from Northwestern Mutual, Wisconsin’s 161-year-old insurance giant. It will be the company’s North American headquarters and a center for activities outside its planned manufacturing plant in Racine County.
It’s beginning to look like the general, who retired from the military in mid-2016, is having too much of Donald Trump rub off on him in his role as Trump’s chief of staff.
His latest report dismissed even by conservative media.
Legislature faces a rush of many proposed bills. Which will pass?
The donation amount won’t make much of a difference in the campaign, but what does it say when the candidate’s own parents want him to fail?
The Campaign Workers Guild has negotiated its first collectively bargained contract, with the Democratic candidate challenging Paul Ryan.
You want gimmicks? Randy Bryce’s campaign staff is unionized!
Not only his campaign staff now unionized, Randy urged them on because he knows and believes in the value of organized labor.
The fairness and impartiality of our judges depends mightily on their separation from the effect and influence of campaign contributors and outside, special interest campaign spending groups.
Citizens deserve a Supreme Court that can be viewed as a fair arbiter on the big judicial questions that face the state. We need to work to further that ideal. Voting for Burns would be a move in the exact opposite direction of what so many liberals claim to wish for the court.
It’s just a matter of time before the pretense of non-partisan judgeships is eventually dropped–and these positions move to the fall partisan election cycles–where turnout will be more than 20% every year.
Wisconsin is looking at yet another round of business-driven wetland filling — more than seven years after Walker began his reign with a wetland filling permission expressly for one of his donors outside of what law at the time spelled out.
Rather than focusing on one-off deals like Kimberly-Clark and Foxconn, here’s the question we should be asking: How do we rewire and build the new economy in Wisconsin?
