The order directs state agencies to track and post their record response times and, like last year’s order, gives procedural guidance that should make it easier for citizens to request and receive records.
Would require one-year wait for ex-legislators and legislative aides to become lobbyists.
At least 30 other states have enacted legislation that allows them to produce hemp for either research or commercial purposes. It’s time for Wisconsin to catch up.
A life is taken by gun violence every three days in the City of Milwaukee. If someone died every three days from a preventable disease, you’d better believe we’d be working to find a cure for that. So why are guns any different?
The last three biennial state budgets in Wisconsin saw the enactment of dramatic reductions in state spending on K-12 public education. As you may have guessed, deciding to spend less on education as a state has not meant that education is any less expensive today than it was four budgets ago.
It’s possible that the Trump-Ryan bill is merely mostly dead, rather than thoroughly demised.
Cutting federal funds to local law enforcement would probably do more to harm to public safety than illegal immigration does.
Pundits on both the left and the right say the threat of a constitutional overhaul is real.

In Wisconsin, should a person suffering a slow and painful death from a terminal illness have the right to medically end his or her life?
We are being denied access to the only lifelines we have: therapies showing promising benefits in clinical trials.
Right-wing WI Gov. and long-time pollution enabler Scott Walker has finally found a cut to environmental protection he can’t stomach: the full elimination of Great Lakes restoration funding proposed by President Trump.
While President Trump has the ability to inspire a messianic adoration from supporters, it becomes clearer by the day — and by the tweet — that his interest in humankind is pretty much limited to one human — himself.
The governor’s budget tethers student aid increases to employee benefits
The governor’s plan creates a three-part strategy: use the schools and a public information campaign to spread the word about the success sequence; use proven programs to provide help to at-risk parents with babies so they can improve their parenting skills; and reduce financial disincentives to marriage.
Voters could hardly have a clearer choice in this race.
