Funding could end embarrassment of “debtors prison.”

In an interview with KUMD talk show host Lisa Johnson, DNR Chief Conservation Warden Todd Schaller discusses Wisconsin’s mentored hunting law, which allows children of any age to hunt with a mentor within arm’s reach.

What is at the heart of this matter is that some of the hunting interests in the state see a slippage in the number of young people who feel exhilaration over the notion of toting a weapon into the woods and killing animals. There was no huge expression of desire from youngsters on this matter.

Republican bill cuts taxes for wealthy, corporations, hikes them for many families.

The federal push for less discipline under President Barack Obama is having a negative effect on Wisconsin classrooms while attempting to solve a problem of discrimination that does not exist.

So claims his supporters at WILL. Let’s consider the evidence they offer.

If the Republican leaders choose partisan delegates, then Wisconsin would be represented at the constitutional convention by a lopsided number of Republicans.

A “no” vote from Senator Johnson would mean there is no tax relief at all and no fixing of the major flaws in the federal tax code that President Trump has accurately described as a giant self-inflicted wound on the U.S. economy.

While it does reduce corporate tax rates for some companies, the vast majority of American businesses are left out of any benefit whatsoever.

Anyone who still thinks Johnson is looking out for the little guy needs to realize “pass through” tax benefits don’t just go to small businesses such as dry cleaners, repair shops and actual mom and pop businesses; like most other Republican tax schemes, the really enormous tax advantages go to millionaires like Johnson and very large businesses.

The incredible decline — and remarkable staying power — of state teacher’s union.

Twenty years ago, prison overcrowding in Wisconsin led to hundreds of inmates being housed by private prisons, costing millions of taxpayer dollars each year. At the same time, new prisons were constructed and opened at a rate of nearly one prison per year, also costing millions of taxpayer dollars. Today, we stand on the verge of repeating this costly history.

Wachs’ attempt to link his Republican political opponent to the misdeeds of Franken, Conyers and Moore comes as sexual assault and harassment are being treated with the gravity they deserve. Yet Wachs has decided to take a cheap political shot.

If Wachs is serious – finally – about showing women respect, it’s a conversation he needs to have with his own political party.

The 21 law, like Prohibition in the ’20s, didn’t really cut down on drinking — it sent it to the modern-day speakeasies. And that, of course, spurred raids by the cops followed by huge fines and even jail.

They’re at it again. Despite overwhelming support for an open Internet, Federal Communications Commission Chairman Ajit Pai wants to undo net neutrality in the United States. And the big winner will be the giant telecommunications companies — and pretty much no one else.

Evers using Walker’s requirement the Department of Public Instruction use state DOJ lawyers in lawsuit related to REINS Act to raise funds for gubernatorial campaign.

In “Two Minutes with Mitch” radio personality Mitch Henck gives his two cents on President Donald Trump’s derision of Sen. Elizabeth Warren as “Pocahontas.”

Rep. Joel Kleefisch, the chairman of the Assembly Committee on Natural Resources, is an ebullient presence at the Capitol, eager to share his hunting stories to anyone in earshot and show off his trophy-filled office, which includes a bearskin, an alligator and a turkey, among others. He said he’s taken “well more than 30” new hunters out for their first time. On Monday, I became one of them.

Hunting is not just killing and it’s not just about the individual hunter. We have obligations to the prey, to fellow hunters and to society in general. And those are lessons that are getting lost in the story of the kindergarten deer hunter.
