While those who want to overturn Citizens United complain that “money isn’t speech,” their speech is being funded by taxpayer money that pays for their ridiculous advisory referendums.

Human weakness is eternal and there are always politicians and officials looking for help with their career or political fundraising. Which is why there will always be the influence peddlers, jostling to win favors and stay in power. But very few of those lobbyists ever did it with such rascally, unpretentious joy as Bill Gerrard.

In “Two Minutes with Mitch” radio personality Mitch Henck says the people who voted for Donald Trump are still strongly in his corner.

While it was disappointing that Wisconsin’s prevailing wage law as not fully repealed in 2015, state lawmakers now have the opportunity to finish the job for the benefit of state taxpayers.

In Wisconsin courtrooms, you’re going to need a good lawyer and a good credit score.

The court’s collapse as a functional branch of state government was confirmed last week when the five-member majority refused to abandon the practice of justices ruling on cases involving major financial backers.

My fellow liberals, enraged by last November’s election, have taken to calling themselves “the resistance.”

The state workers and the teachers were required to bail out the GOP and help provide funds for corporate incentives and tax breaks. Now today, private workers are being asked to sacrifice decent wages to fix the shortfalls created by the convoluted Walker style of government.

While Democrats keep griping about partisan gerrymandering, they have lost sight of the fact that conservative dominance in Wisconsin has been statewide and complete. Progressives are even having trouble mustering up a candidate to run against Walker in 2018.

No one can question the fundamental duty of government to protect the health and well-being of its citizens. Like our national security and public safety, protecting public health and the environment is a basic government responsibility.

Bill would bring together Wisconsin’s traditions of military service and agriculture.
