My Latest Rant On Odd Year Spring Elections
I have written about this a number of times…I am not suggesting that we do things that inhibit elections…quite the opposite. I am suggesting we move odd year spring elections at minimum to even years.
We are wasting money on these little bitty elections and not getting enough participation to actually say we have […]
Milwaukee Common Council To Honor Colin Kaepernick!
After being snubbed by the GOP membership of the Wisconsin legislature, the Milwaukee native and former NFL Quarterback will be honored as part of Black History Month by the Milwaukee Common Council:
Colin Kaepernick will be honored by the City of Milwaukee after Republican lawmakers in Madison rejected efforts to recognize him statewide.

The Irony Behind The Kaepernik Story in Madison
If the Republican majority in Madison had just accepted the Black History Month resolution put forward by the Legislative Black Caucus…and simply approved it in a voice vote…there would have been no story. It would essentially have gone unnoticed outside of the state.
But once again the majority leadership had to make a ‘thing’ out […]
Judge Brian Hagedorn currently sits on the Wisconsin Court of Appeals, a position that former Governor Scott Walker appointed him to after he served for nearly five years as Chief Legal Counsel to the governor. He was then elected to his current position in 2017. Judge Hagedorn is running against appeals court Chief Judge […]

Four years ago, I ran to become Chair because I knew that Wisconsin Democrats needed a strong party infrastructure, a robust and engaged grassroots network, and a clear vision for […]
The Wisconsin GOP cabal that was former Governor Scott Walker plus the continuing Assembly Speaker Robin Vos and Senate Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald kept kicking the can down the road on funding for highway repairs and construction. In their last two budgets, hewing to their no tax increase mantras, instead of raising the gasoline tax […]

The Taiwan-based electronics manufacturer said it will move forward with construction of […]
Remember the Trump Tax Cuts? The Madison GOP does/doesn’t
For those of you not from Wisconsin, this might not make a lot of sense to you. But traditionally when the federal government made significant changes to their tax codes…primarily to tax deductions and credits and such…the Wisconsin legislature would emulate those changes. So once you completed your federal tax form you pretty much just […]
