Vos is right that the pet concerns of three senators shouldn’t hold up an entire two-year spending plan. But Vos has been far less distressed about terrible government when it’s promised to benefit his political fortunes.
The Vos incident is just the tip of the iceberg of very public Republican in-fighting. That starts right at the top–with President Donald Trump putting anyone that doesn’t bow to his wishes or that criticizes his outrageous comments and twitter rants on full blast in all forms of the media.
As a member of 11 cooperatives throughout Wisconsin, and a former co-op board member, I am concerned about a bill working its way through the legislature that would change the definition of a cooperative in Wisconsin.
We must demand that our congressional representatives put an end to the legalization of weapons that can cause mass destruction.
A bill to enshrine victims’ rights into the Wisconsin Constitution has one item in it that would blatantly violate the U.S. Constitution.
Today, there’s a new priority on the left: making sure no one in America can claim they have anything meaningful in common with anyone else who doesn’t look exactly like them.
Cory Mason takes office Nov. 7. On that day, he said, the work of “rebuilding the middle class” begins — from the ground up.
I’d much rather be known as the dairy state than drive around with a license plate that says “Home of corporate giveaways.”
The left’s complaints about cultural appropriation keep Americans separated rather than united.
To make our elections run securely and accurately, we need to repair the damage to the Wisconsin Elections Commission caused by Gov. Scott Walker’s veto last month, which removed five necessary staff from the commission.
By passing the tax cuts President Trump praised in Indianapolis, Congress can right a longstanding wrong and put the wind back into our economic sails.
The Flambeau mine in Ladysmith can, and should, serve as a useful example of the possibility of safe mining and strong environmental stewardship.
Walker will carry a host of problems into his re-election bid.
Trump is still trying to sabotage the Affordable Care Act.
As was the case in the 16th century, the world will have to adapt to the influx of unreliable information. Hopefully, trusted sources will once again form to make sense of what’s real and what’s not.
The WisOpinion Insiders, Jensen & Chvala, assess Tommy Thompson’s legacy in advance of Monday’s premiere on Milwaukee Public TV of the documentary: “Tommy Thompson: A Wisconsin Life.” The Insiders’ “Two-Minute Take” is sponsored by the Wisconsin Counties Association and Michael Best Strategies.
The Sanders-Stein-Nader crowd apparently doesn’t think the rest of us on the pragmatic left are as righteous or passionate as they. They seem to think they can unleash some tsunami of support from huge numbers of the politically disaffected.
We want economic development. We want jobs. But we are unwilling to sacrifice the health of life-sustaining natural resources — earth, air and water. Without these, we cease to exist.
Last month, Rep. Amanda Stuck and I announced the creation of the Wisconsin Future Caucus, a bipartisan group of Wisconsin state legislators under the age of 40. The purpose of this group is to work together to find common ground on critical issues that affect Wisconsin.
His regent-appointees are undoing decades of excellence at the university.
