It’s important that our courts are beyond reproach and that judges aren’t deciding cases involving large campaign contributors. But that’s not what the rules governing the courts and the conduct of judges say in Wisconsin today.
Cassie Mrotek, a beauty school graduate from Milwaukee, just wants to work but has been thwarted for over a year.
People will be economically forced into refusing insurance under “TrumpCare” plan.
Mr. Trump has already indicated that he intends to support the new American Health Care Act. But, it remains to be seen what changes the bill will ultimately undergo, or whether Republicans can muster enough support for passage.
Local governments then must buy from private insurers, who donated to Walker.
24th in taxes and fees, 25th in spending, latest data shows.
Wisconsin has an excellent alternative to just doing the same tired thing and getting the same disappointing results. Lowell Holtz, a selfstyled “Kidservative,” plans a new path for Wisconsin education.
The Oxford Dictionaries still define “liberal” as meaning a willingness “to respect or accept behaviour or opinions different from one’s own; open to new ideas.” But it is hard to square that with what has become of liberalism – or more specifically the Liberal Arts – on many university campuses.
I am optimistic that if Governor Walker’s commitment to academic freedom is passed in the biennial budget, university campuses in Wisconsin will once again become a haven for open intellectual discourse.

On Monday, the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office issued a bombshell: the GOP health plan will increase the uninsured by 24 million.
For close to a year now, the Wisconsin Policy Research Institute has been wrestling with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development to obtain a report on what steps, if any, HUD took to stop misuse of more than $2 million in taxpayer funds by a Wisconsin tribe.
In “Two Minutes with Mitch” radio personality Mitch Henck comes to the defense of teachers.
Word began circulating on February 9th that Scott Walker’s upcoming state budget would wipe out his ‘chamber of commerce mentality’ DNR’s popular, subscriber-supported magazine. So why did the DNR tout the magazine and its virtues in both a posting on a DNR web page and also in a DNR weekly newsletter just a few days earlier on January 31:
The market for coal, both here and abroad, has been shrinking dramatically and will continue to do so.
Elected Democrats across the state need to speak of how political boundaries are drawn with every coffee shop gathering, civic-club luncheon, and press interview.
