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.
So Walker agrees to follow a law by calling special elections. Don’t get too giddy about that.

There will be very little if any difference between the F-16 and F-35 with regards to mission, flight profiles, and noise signature. Many individuals will argue that the overall noise impact on the surrounding communities will actually decrease with the F-35.
Leadership of both political parties—Republicans and Democrats—are to blame for continuing to let down rural Wisconsin farmers whose livestock is in danger from an out-of-control wolf population.
Their arrogant disregard for democracy has never been more on display than on the issue of special elections.
