It’s stunning to hear Democrats putting a value on any job, across any sector. With the gubernatorial election around the corner, it’s time to stand up for working people. Not attack the thousands who will inevitably work for Foxconn in southeastern Wisconsin.
After weeks of wrangling and a few modifications, the Wisconsin State Assembly passed a $3 billion incentive package for Foxconn to build a massive new plant in Wisconsin. Now it is up to the State Senate to follow the Assembly’s lead and bring Foxconn to Wisconsin.
In Charlottesville, evil had a name, and it was white supremacy. Trump’s repeated assertion that there was violence “on many sides” speaks volumes about the real Donald Trump and offers a unique insight into what he really thinks.
When it comes to standing up to racists, somewhere between the non-engagement of a sheet-cake eating Tina Fey and the black-clad violence of the antifa is a better approach honed by Madison’s own Solidarity Sing Along.
Alt-right, white supremacists, KKK, Nazi sympathizers are hate groups.
In “Two Minutes with Mitch” radio personality Mitch Henck says President Donald Trump is in the political bunker after losing support left and right.
It sounds like President Trump is going to follow in the footsteps of all his predecessors dating back to Harry Truman in continuing to fight unwinnable wars.
Review of past deals shows its 35 times more than biggest prior state payout.
Every Wisconsin legislator and local official sworn to protecting honest and open government, environmental law and taxpayer money absolutely should slow down the Foxconn deal until they know know they are getting a straight story, forthcoming advice, accurate data and unfiltered facts.
I was a plaintiff in a 2012 Clean Water Act lawsuit against Rio Tinto of London, owner of the Flambeau Mine near Ladysmith, Wis. My three-year legal battle was quite contrary to statements made by Ladysmith City Administrator Al Christianson in his August 15 commentary in WisPolitics.com: “The Real Flambeau Mine Story.”
To celebrate the 100th year of the Wisconsin State Capitol a reunion of past legislators and staff who worked in the building was held last Friday.
None of the $1.5 million awarded in the latest round of Broadband Expansion Grant will be spent in Northwestern Wisconsin.
Anyone who was paying attention last fall could have predicted Trump’s Charlottesville performance, his inability to call out racists and inclination to go easy on fearmongers.
Oh-so virtuous Madison mayor takes down Confederate memorial.
The governor provided zero leadership for his party, his state or his country following violence in Charlottesville, Virginia. Soglin, on the other hand, responded decisively — with words and deeds.
Republicans have been acting to enable Charlottesville — and maybe future Charlottesvilles — for more than half a century. On race, Trump has simply dispensed with the old dog whistles and grabbed a bullhorn.
Americans who fell for Donald Trump will rebel at being compared to the supremacists, but they need to face the fact. Former KKK leader David Duke and his compatriots have been emboldened by the deplorable president they decided ought to lead the greatest democracy on earth.
History must be taught to successive generations; it is not genetically transmitted. Dispelling hatred among the few requires resolve and education by the many.
The bill paves the way for Foxconn to make an historic investment in Wisconsin – in fact, one of the largest foreign investments in U.S. history.
The GOP-led Wisconsin Assembly is rushing the Foxconn bill forward straight through regulatory and due-diligence gaps in smart business and environmental best practices deliberately blown in Wisconsin law and legacy.
