WisOpinion.com is sharing posts this week from John Imes, executive director for Wisconsin Environmental Initiative, as he attends the GreenBiz18 conference in Phoenix. Imes writes about how day two of the conference focused on “collaboration, partnerships and effective advocacy to accelerate high road, clean energy, climate and sustainability innovations and policies.”
Walker has seen the writing on the wall ahead of the 2018 election and has decided to double down on his divide and conquer strategy of pitting neighbor against neighbor by targeting the most vulnerable amongst us.
RightWisconsin’s James Wigderson talks with Treasurer Matt Adamczyk about his effort to get the legislature to adopt a constitutional amendment to abolish Adamczyk’s job.

The modern university is now asked to be everything to every student.
He’s taking a lot flak for one tweet. Maybe it’s a teachable moment.
Battle of Dallet, Burns and Screnock mirrors national, state political divides.
The speaker’s embrace of Nunes and his memo has dishonored the chamber that Ryan, above all others, is duty bound to defend.
Environmental groups treat manure storage system leaks as environmental disaster, but were silent when Wausau piped 3.7 million gallons of raw, untreated human feces and waste directly into the Wisconsin River.

Republicans in the House and Senate are lemmings following Trump off the cliff.
Ryan has failed as Speaker, with dire consequences.
Concerns about immigration and police actions worry farmers whose livelihoods depend on the skills of their devoted workers.
The WisOpinion Insiders, Chvala and Jensen, look at the strategy legislative leaders take to return their caucus to the majority in an off-budget year election season. Sponsored by the Wisconsin Counties Association and Michael Best Strategies.
