Evidently the strict marching orders from the Assembly speaker dictate that amendments offered by Democrats will not be put to a vote unless all Democrats can say ahead of time they will vote in favor of the final bill.
Last week, Trump’s Justice Department filed a friend-of-the-court brief before the U.S. Supreme Court supporting the rights of public employees that refuse to join unions.
In my old age as the editor emeritus, I see a 100-year-old newspaper that is still young and vibrant and willing to take the chances and fight the fights that Mr. Evjue envisioned when those first papers came off the press on Dec. 13, 1917.
A big congratulations to members of the real Republican Party as they celebrate the loss of the hijacked Republican Party candidate in yesterday’s special Senate election in Alabama. The contemptible Roy Moore loses a seat that had been held by the GOP for 25-years.
In “Two Minutes with Mitch” radio personality Mitch Henck gives his two cents on Democrat Doug Jones’ victory over Republican Roy Moore in Alabama’s special Senate election Tuesday.
His 11-month investigation of John Doe leaks yields no charges but lots of anger.
Women in the industry have long been treated as second-class citizens.
In contrast to a bailout, H.R. 756 would put USPS on more sustainable long-term financial footing. In short, the legislation cuts costs, streamlines and secures mail delivery, strengthens accountability, and improves oversight. Additionally, it guarantees pension liability, improves employee health care, focuses on local service opportunities, and supports rural postal service access — something we need in Wisconsin’s first Congressional District.
Johnson succeeded in getting a reduction of 23% in the profits subject to tax in proprietorships, partnerships, limited liability and S corporations. Any way you cut it, that makes him a hero for small companies.
All too often, American inventions don’t stay home to create companies and jobs. The late George H. Heilmeier has long represented just such a missed opportunity – and he’s now a symbol of why there’s hope for a techno-industrial renaissance.
Because the US Supreme Court might order more equitably-drawn Wisconsin legislative districts and thereby threaten GOP domination, Gov. Walker and his allies are accelerating their war on public resources to get their ideological friends and donors what’s grabbable right now.
Waukesha County Executive Paul Farrow joins RightWisconsin Editor James Wigderson to talk about keeping taxes down, future growth in the county, and the lost chili recipe.
There was little media attention last month when the Dane County Board quietly passed a new wheel tax. It’s a big subsidy from Madison residents to those who live in rural areas.
A rogue state agency took my personal emails and filed them under “opposition research.”
State leaders such as Walker and Ducey are stepping up to the plate when it matters most — not just during the campaign, but now, when their constituents desperately need solutions.
When the Kochs say “Jump!” Scott Walker asks “How high?” So it came as no surprise that the governor of Wisconsin and his legislative allies moved this fall to make Wisconsin the 28th state to support the convention call.
Republican Attorney General Brad Schimel has spent the last year picking the controversial issues on which he will base his campaign for a second term.
The recent injunction at Lincoln Hills creates an opportunity for change. The job isn’t easy, and the state must support the facilities by ensuring that they have the resources, training and guidance to do the job right. By taking advantage of this moment and relying on data and research-based solutions, the administration can transform the facility to a healthier, safer environment for all youth and staff.
Leaders of the Wisconsin legislature will determine whether Christmas 2018 will be merry or just more expensive for property owners in Wisconsin. City and village leaders around Wisconsin are making one wish: that the Legislature takes a vote on the Dark Store and Walgreens loophole repair bills.
Trump’s unthinking and uninformed comments on everything from race to a free press are dangerously eating away at the foundation of our democracy.
