Or more accurately, “The Trouble with the Republican Response to the Foxconn Proposal.”
Rep. John Nygren summed up the majority Republican sentiment following the announcement of Foxconn’s decision (or is it really a decision?) to invest in Wisconsin. When Sen. Minority Leader Jen Shilling tweeted her concerns, saying “$3 billion is a lot of […]
I follow Scott Walker on Twitter, not because I am an admirer, but because I want to see what messages he is trying to convey to his devotees and to the state at large. And I recently noticed an inexplicable number of visits to public schools – you know, those schools that he would just […]
The UW Board of Regents, in order to protect and preserve its role as the governing body of the University of Wisconsin System, must reject Scott Walker’s budget proposal in full. The sometime-governor is once again attempting illegitimately to exert control over the UW System, contrary to the organizing statutes. The power grab exercised through […]
I was working all day in Ward 65, in the City of Madison. When we finally finished remaking ballots and tallying votes, Hillary Clinton and Russ Feingold easily had more than 90% of the vote. We had one vote for Jill Stein, out of about 2700 cast.
Then the poll workers started checking their phones. […]
The response of local Republican “leaders” to Donald Trump’s gross conversation about his pursuit of women tells us a great deal about about their suitability for their own positions.
Margaret Farrow is a University of Wisconsin Regent. She is one of the people charged with leading the UW System in the 21st century. […]
As so often happens. Christian Schneider’s premise from which he builds an “argument” is wrong. And starting from a false premise leads, almost inevitably, to a false conclusion, doesn’t it?
In his most recent column, arguing for (I think) eliminating tax loopholes, Mr. Schneider claims, “progressives think earnings belong to the government, and the […]
A recent comment by our sometime governor caught my eye last week. In an article in the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel, Mr. Walker indicated that he “plans to vote in Milwaukee County” this election.
But is Mr. Walker still a resident of Milwaukee County?
Let’s consider this question.
State law defines voter residence. Chapter 6.10, Wis. Stats., provides as follows:
6.10 […]
The sum total of Rebecca Bradley’s statement of “apology” for her published screeds against AIDS victims, gays and lesbians, Bill Clinton, and anyone else who deviated from what she perceived as the righteous path in 1992, is this pitiful statement:
I was writing as a very young student, upset about the outcome […]
Commission on the Future of the Family
Wednesday was the first meeting of our occasional governor’s new Wisconsin Commission on the Future of the Family, created “for the purpose of identifying issues and barriers relating to the overall wellbeing of families in the State, developing policies that lift individuals out of poverty, and developing and recommending polices for implementation to better serve […]
This has mostly passed by the wayside already, attention spans being as limited as they are, but there has been a bit of a kerfluffle lately in the state supreme court regarding “Chief Justice” Patience Roggensack’s high-handed approach to her position. She has a penchant for rewriting court rules willy-nilly. The result this time is that […]
