We spend a lot of time thinking about what we will SAY in meetings with elected officials. We want our message and our ask to be perfect. However, we should also take note of what we DO in meetings, through our nonverbal messages.
Our conservative Congressional leadership should be honest with people. Medicaid reform is an effort to save money at the federal level which will in turn tighten the budgets of states.
In “Two Minutes with Mitch” radio personality Mitch Henck gives his two cents on Republicans’ health care overhaul.
The Paul Ryan health-care bill is a very good first step toward reforming health care. I think the House and Senate GOP can make the Ryan blueprint even better.
As part of Gov. Scott Walker’s ongoing effort to generate taxpayer savings through reform, the self-insurance proposal would save taxpayers at least $60 million in the state budget while maintaining the same level of benefits for state employees.
When there’s so much evidence that something as simple as lead is so detrimental to our community’s well-being, our response should be just as simple: get the lead out.
Why not simply pay students to work their way through college?
In U.S. and Wisconsin, biggest beneficiaries are whites without degrees.
Assembly Speaker Robin Vos (R-Rochester) was none too happy when fellow legislators kept him in the dark about a bill aimed at reining in profits that We Energies makes from its power plants in Oak Creek and Port Washington.
DWD is excited to continue on the pathway of expanding career education and opportunities for youth. Under Governor Walker, Wisconsin has come a long way, and we’re on strong footing to do even more.
It’s important that our courts are beyond reproach and that judges aren’t deciding cases involving large campaign contributors. But that’s not what the rules governing the courts and the conduct of judges say in Wisconsin today.
Cassie Mrotek, a beauty school graduate from Milwaukee, just wants to work but has been thwarted for over a year.
People will be economically forced into refusing insurance under “TrumpCare” plan.
Mr. Trump has already indicated that he intends to support the new American Health Care Act. But, it remains to be seen what changes the bill will ultimately undergo, or whether Republicans can muster enough support for passage.
Local governments then must buy from private insurers, who donated to Walker.
24th in taxes and fees, 25th in spending, latest data shows.
Wisconsin has an excellent alternative to just doing the same tired thing and getting the same disappointing results. Lowell Holtz, a selfstyled “Kidservative,” plans a new path for Wisconsin education.
The Oxford Dictionaries still define “liberal” as meaning a willingness “to respect or accept behaviour or opinions different from one’s own; open to new ideas.” But it is hard to square that with what has become of liberalism – or more specifically the Liberal Arts – on many university campuses.
I am optimistic that if Governor Walker’s commitment to academic freedom is passed in the biennial budget, university campuses in Wisconsin will once again become a haven for open intellectual discourse.
To suggest, as Donald Trump and his perennially angry base do, that thousands of media people get together each morning and decide how to demonize the president is ludicrous on its face.
