On a subject as complex and as grave as health care reform, there is no substitute for honest accounting. And when the health of millions is at stake, the burden of proof is a heavy one.
The disastrous Donald Trump/Paul Ryan scheme on health care proposes to gut protections for consumers from abuses by health insurance companies, would make many Americans pay more for less insurance coverage and could cost an estimated 23 million people their insurance altogether.
Public officials in Marquette County apparently know how to get the biggest bang for their buck when it comes to transportation. They have the best roads in the state, while receiving almost the smallest amount of state aid per mile, according to the DOT and the Legislative Fiscal Bureau.
The deny, delay and decay approach to transportation in Wisconsin threatens our economic prosperity. But so does an over reliance on bonding, without any plan on how to pay down that debt.
And how a fee on trucks could solve state’s transportation problem.
The same sickening science-free song keeps seeping from the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources which Scott Walker is managing with his self-described “chamber of commerce mentality.”
We each must choose to make a conscious effort to step back into the light of civility, strengthen our communication, and self-correct each time we stumble … and who better to first cross the aisle as unified partners, than our elected officials.
If we truly hope to stop these horrific acts of violence and begin to heal our deep political divides, we all need to denounce hate speech and the sharing of false or misleading information, particularly online.
We’re both deeply concerned that the political system in Wisconsin — as in so much of the country — is broken.
Baldwin is vulnerable and the very President that changed all the rules may be the key to the GOP winning this senate seat in 2018.
After all the noise in northern Georgia — and $55 million of campaign spending — only one politician really mattered in the much-watched 6th congressional race on Tuesday. Her name was Nancy Pelosi.
The two men symbolize two different personalities the party could adopt in the midterm elections and potentially in 2020. Which vision will stick? And which has a chance of winning?
That’s good news for the nation.
The Wisconsin Supreme Court voted 5-2 on Wednesday to stop holding its administrative meetings in public
Recent trends are down in Wisconsin, but hardly a cause for panic.
The Manufacturing and Agricultural Credit was established by Walker and the GOP-controlled legislature in 2013 with grand claims that it would result in more jobs.
The actions of the Trump administration that haven’t attracted near the attention of Putingate are just as scandalous.
There’s a saying among political operatives during campaign season: “If you’re explaining, then you’re losing.” The secret AHCA deliberations are showing that when legislating, the opposite of campaign rules apply: Republicans are losing because they’re not explaining.
In “Two Minutes with Mitch” radio personality Mitch Henck gives his two cents after the U.S. Supreme Court decided to take a gerrymandering case brought by Democratic voters in Wisconsin.
And how will that affect the race for Supreme Court?
