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 […]
WEDC threatens legal action against Kestrel Aircraft
The ultimate deal maker and job creator, Governor Scott Walker, watches while one of his earliest high profile deals is falling apart. From the Wisconsin State Journal:
A day before Democrats submitted a petition to recall him in 2012, Gov. Scott Walker flew to Superior to announce a $20 million award for an […]
Why Do We Hate Wetlands So Much?
Through out the negotiations for the Foxconn plant now supposedly destined for Mount Pleasant in Racine County…one of the leading causes of consternation among Wisconsin environmentalists has been the removal of wetland protections from the agreement between the State of Wisconsin and Foxconn. I have mentioned it here and here.
But the state […]
Project Sheila: Helping progressive women run for office
The candidacy of Hillary Clinton and the election of #45 has motivated more women to run for office. While many women are stepping up and putting their names on ballots across the country, other women are asking how they can help these women succeed in their elections. One women’s answer is “Project Sheila.”
Eliza […]
Make America Great Again by Selling One Piece At a Time to Asia
I am focusing mostly on Wisconsin at the moment…but first we have Foxconn who will buy some prime Wisconsin real estate, take advantage of local municipal resources, and get a big kick back from the taxpayers of Wisconsin…while the profits go off to Taiwan.
Next we have Governor Scott Walker touring Japan and South Korea, […]
Is The State Ready To Invest In Education For Foxconn?
This is a question I’ve asked several times on social media but apparently not here. But beyond the potential $3 billion in tax credits and the sales tax holiday and the infrastructure build outs…is the state of Wisconsin and Governor Scott Walker prepared to fund the 21st Century educations needed to run with the modern […]
