Here’s a link to the Hill’s 50 Wealthiest Legislators in Washington! Somebody there missed Herb Kohl…since the 50th person is at $5.1 million, Senator Kohl should certainly have been on this list. The Milwaukee Bucks alone should put him near the top. Wisconsin didn’t do too badly: #26 Representative Jim Sensenbrenner is the Wisconsin [...] Posted by Zach on August 31, 2010, at 5:01 am
Here’s something I’ve been wondering about the 2010 statewide races here in Wisconsin: Why is it that with the exception of the Republican gubernatorial race, in which Scott Walker and Mark Neumann have actually gotten together to debate the issues, none of the other major contested races (Democratic gubernatorial primary, Republican U.S. Senate primary) [...] Posted by Zach on August 27, 2010, at 8:22 am
Seriously….this is why I was never Gov. Jim Doyle’s biggest fan: Gov. Jim Doyle’s administration lacks the legal authority to use a $127 million accounting trick to help cover a shortfall in state health programs for the poor, the Legislature’s nonpartisan budget and audit offices report. The finding means the Democratic administration could have [...] Posted by Zach on August 10, 2010, at 11:05 pm
Yeah, this is precisely what Democrats didn’t want to see happen leading up to the November elections: [...] Posted by Zach on July 26, 2010, at 5:01 am
According to the July continuing financial reports filed by candidates recently, incumbent State Senator Jeff Plale (“D” – South Milwaukee) raised just over $35,000 in contributions from individuals during the last reporting period. While the overall amount of contributions to Sen. Plale isn’t newsworthy, what caught my eye was where the contributions made [...] Posted by Zach on July 21, 2010, at 5:54 am
Up in Wisconsin’s 75th Assembly District, two Democrats and four Republicans are vying for the seat currently held by State Rep. Mary Hubler, who announced earlier this year she wouldn’t stand for reelection, and now that the candidates have handed in their nomination forms, there appears to be an interesting challenge to the candidacy [...] Posted by Zach on July 20, 2010, at 5:08 am
From the files of, “Things Democratic county chairs shouldn’t say about Democratic candidates in an election year” comes this: Vicki Burke, who chairs the La Crosse County Democrats, said that “in talking to people who work in [Mr. Feingold's] campaign, they think, given the atmosphere, that this could be the first time where he [...] Posted by Proud Progressive on July 17, 2010, at 11:15 pm
We saw recently that if not for a late entry by John Heckenlively, paul ryan would of run unopposed. This was such a mess that, as far as I can tell, Heckenlively does not even have a website up and running yet. Its hard to beat the free spending darling of the insurance companies [...] Posted by Zach on July 12, 2010, at 5:01 am
On Saturday, our own Proud Progressive noted that Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Janesville) might not have an opponent in this year’s election, but it appears Rep. Ryan will have an opponent after all, as indicated by Paulette Garin, a Democratic candidate for Rep. Ryan’s seat in 2008 (and who was considering a run this year: [...] Posted by Zach on June 28, 2010, at 5:11 am
