The partisan primary in Wisconsin is next Tuesday August 14th…there are a lot of contested seats this year. One of the major ones is the Democratic gubernatorial race…we are blessed or cursed (depending on your point of view) with eight candidates this year…so you need to make your voice heard!!
The rules for the Wisconsin’s […]
Brewers Shocked by Hader’s Tweets…Really?
I don’t pay much attention to professional sports anymore and usually wouldn’t think about commenting on it or writing about it. But I did watch the All Star game at a sports bar with a few guys from my baseball team on Tuesday night…but we left after the dismal showing by Milwaukee Brewers pitcher Josh […]
There have been competing articles in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel about the issues surrounding the various Wisconsin Department Of Correction facilities. Much of it relates to budget issues and employment issues. Apparently the DOC can’t hire enough guards and security personnel to keep the facilities safe and running correctly.
And on Tuesday, MJS ran […]
Warning to Wisconsin Income Tax Payers
During a recent conversation with my tax preparer, I asked if I still had to track my charitable donations under the current federal tax laws. Well, not for the feds, but I should for the state because they haven’t adopted the new federal guidelines yet. Not a biggie, been doing it for years, don’t stop […]
Now I know that the county supervisor position was reduced to a ‘part time’ job some time ago by Wisconsin legislative fiat. We covered that extensively as it happened. So I know there is no reason that a county supervisor wouldn’t want to hold another job…particularly to get health benefits since state action also stripped […]
This time it comes from a Milwaukee Journal Sentinel article on the dire straits that family dairy farms continue to suffer here in Wisconsin. I don’t have an answer for that issue and I wish I had. But one thing they shouldn’t have added to their issues…is pulling one of the family off the […]
Wisconsin Wetlands Bill Needs Some Amendments!
Assembly approves bill to allow more development of wetlands under state control.
MADISON – The state Assembly ventured into the contentious waters of wetlands this week, sending to the Senate a bill to roll back regulations designed to avoid or minimize construction on these ecologically important lands.
The legislation has emerged as the biggest […]
The Absurdities Of The Walker Tax Credit Proposals
The state anticipates a budget surplus of $385 million in June of 2019. In anticipation of that surplus, Governor Scott Walker is proposing a tax rebate, a tax credit, and a sales tax holiday. The governor is intent on returning the surplus to the tax payers…in a very roundabout way. Of course the Democrats […]
A Fearful Scott Walker Pivots Center On Healthcare
With the 2018 re-election campaign staring him in the face and the Democratic upset in Wisconsin’s 10th Senate District, Wisconsin’s Republican Governor Scott Walker is pivoting to the center on healthcare. After demonizing the Affordable Care Act since its inception and his refusal to accept the Medicaid expansion that it provides, suddenly the […]
Dennis Degenhardt for State Assembly!
This totally missed my radar. I didn’t realize the special election to replace the late Bob Gannon in Wisconsin Assembly District 58 was coming up quite so soon…but it’s basically a month away on January 16th 2018. And I am particularly penitent that I missed that fact that there is a Democrat running for the […]
