While Democrats keep griping about partisan gerrymandering, they have lost sight of the fact that conservative dominance in Wisconsin has been statewide and complete. Progressives are even having trouble mustering up a candidate to run against Walker in 2018.
The column below reflects the views of the author, and these opinions are neither endorsed nor supported by WisOpinion.com. In 1945, Korea, then a Japanese colony, was divided into Soviet and U.S. occupation zones. The Koreans were promised independence and
No one can question the fundamental duty of government to protect the health and well-being of its citizens. Like our national security and public safety, protecting public health and the environment is a basic government responsibility.
Walker disdains Earth Day, as he also disregards the environment, also because Earth Day focuses attention on former Wisconsin Governor and its founder Gaylord Nelson.
Bill would bring together Wisconsin’s traditions of military service and agriculture.
American farmers need to stick up for themselves and demand better for themselves, their families, their farms, and their animals. If we cannot muster the energy to do so in moments like this one, we never will. At that point, Canada won’t be around to scapegoat, and we’ll only have that reflection in the mirror to blame.
In “Two Minutes with Mitch” radio personality Mitch Henck gives his two cents on the ouster of Bill O’Reilly from Fox News.
The WisOpinion.com Insiders explain how conservative rank-and-file legislators are driving a lot of the discussion in the Capitol. Sponsored by the Wisconsin Counties Association and Michael Best Strategies.
Follow-ups demonstrate a person is engaged, cares about outcomes, and is willing to pound the pavement on the issue.
Perhaps students can be forgiven for not dwelling on international topics when the disorder and day-to-day upheaval of politics at home in the Trump era are so, um, captivating.
Earth Day and its commitment to a sustainable environment should go hand in hand with a concerted effort to slow the world’s population growth.
Every one of the The Great Lakes and St. Lawrence Cities Initiative’s concerns about the diversion have been answered. Every concern expressed by the environmentalists has been answered. All that’s left is empty liberal animus towards conservative Waukesha.
With the decision, judges in Wisconsin will continue to be perceived to have a price tag hanging from their robes.
Citizens deserve a Supreme Court that can be viewed as a fair arbiter on the big judicial questions that face the state. I take no glee in stating this vote undermines the court’s credibility and severely erodes its luster.
Legislation such as this does little to actually benefit law enforcement officers and is more of a political stunt used to label any elected official who does not support it as being anti law-enforcement.
It didn’t make the Brewers more competitive, yet its price tag keeps rising.
I hate to say I told you so, but the incident at United Airlines a couple of weeks ago was bound to happen because of the obsession too many of our politicians have for deregulation.
In recent testimony before the Legislature, the Secretary of the Department of Revenue for the Walker administration claimed that a runaway manufacturing and agricultural tax giveaway to the wealthy and corporations enacted in the 2011 state budget is helping create jobs. But in response to an open records request by One Wisconsin Now seeking documentation to back up Rick Chandler’s job creation claim the agency replied: “We do not have any such records.”
On this episode of Indivisible, Right Wisconsin Editor Charlie Sykes asked listeners who are affected by the opioid crisis to call in and say how it may or may not have influenced their vote.
This disastrous law is bad for Wisconsin and bad for America, which is why Republicans are working to repeal and replace it with a plan that increases access to coverage, lowers premiums, and provides more options for health care consumers.
