RightWisconsin’s James Wigderson talks with Michael Jahr of the Badger Institute about the new Center for Opportunity, which will focus on public policy issues related to criminal justice reform and occupational licensing.
Legislation based on fleeting headlines is almost always a bad idea. Instead, we should offer politicians a new challenge: Post a video of yourselves resisting the temptation to grandstand.
The DNR has a credibility problem, having been stripped of authenticity and respectability by a Governor who intentionally installed across top management positions a ‘chamber of commerce mentality.’
Evidence shows he had Milwaukee cops digging for dirt on MaryNell Regan. Why?
Walker thought Foxconn would be a home run for his reelection prospects when it was announced last summer. But it turns out that voters are more than a little skeptical of the $3 billion state taxpayer giveaway and the free pass on environmental regulations.
While the focus has been on Racine County, we should challenge leaders to think beyond the boundaries of the project and consider how Foxconn can help spur a coordinated, long-term regional approach to enhancing the I-94 corridor.
The governor spends billions to build yesterday’s economy.
I believe you can support 2nd Amendment rights and work to ensure that Wisconsin families feel safe in schools, church or elsewhere. I hear and want action for what the children are saying!
The lack of oversight, shady accounting, co-mingled governing structures and incomplete record keeping is intolerable in a system where hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars are at stake.
New report points to problems, which can be seen nationally and in Wisconsin.
Nobody has proposed jailing the state schools superintendent for having silly ideas about gun control or placing his political ambitions above the welfare of students.
Gov. Walker recently signed into law Assembly Bill 887, which directs the state to seek a federal waiver to allow operation of a state-based reinsurance plan to stabilize the marketplace.
$4.1 billion handout will deliver even less benefits, more costs than imagined.
It is vital to save net neutrality — and Wisconsin should be at the forefront of the fight for a free and open internet.
We need to ensure strong leadership in Wisconsin’s elections and safeguards against outside interference. I hope that both the Republicans in the legislature and the Elections board share this belief and that we take steps to secure Wisconsin’s elections.
For many landowners, small businesses, farmers and even local governments, the patchwork of regulations surrounding artificial wetlands and certain isolated wetlands has become costly and cumbersome.
Wisconsin is light years away from the nationally-leading environmental state bequeathed to us by John Muir, Aldo Leopold, Gaylord Nelson and generations of preservationist activism.
We’d be a lot safer with improved highways and bridges, health care for all and a solid Social Security system that will last well into the future. It’s amazing what $7.2 trillion spent on peace, rather than war, could do.
Ryan stands up to Trump on tariffs, but has failed to do so for other issues.
Perhaps you’ve noticed that members of Congress have had a hard time explaining their own agenda amid the media vacuum created by President Donald Trump. To rectify this, I have drafted a sample form letter every Republican congressperson can send to his or her constituents to explain what they really think.
