Greetings Blogging Blue readers! It’s been quite some time since I’ve graced these pages with my particular brand of progressive proselytizing, but the moment that’s upon us is one that even this cynical, jaded, retired and tired old man (sort of) can’t sit back and ignore any longer. So pour yourself a cup of coffee, […]
Please Tell Me This Isn’t Real: Rep. Vos’ Invite to Gov. Evers
This came from an Associated Press source so I suppose it’s real…but it seems incredibly Onionesque.
So GOP leadership has even given up the pretense of respecting the office…
P.S. anyone know who Roger Roth is? Except for signing this letter, he seems pretty much lost in action.
And this in nearly the last person we would consider for governor of Wisconsin:
Less than a year into Democratic Gov. Tony Evers’ first term, the Republican field to challenge him is already shaping up.
State Sen. Chris Kapenga is the latest Republican to openly consider running for governor in […]
Wisconsin State Employees To Get $15 Minimum Wage?
As part of the 2019 – 2021 budget, apparently the minimum wage for state employees could move to $15 per hour. The budget left that open for final negotiations on the subject to the Evers administration and a legislative committee. So apparently the Evers plan was presented yesterday…we’ll see how the GOP reacts this […]
Poor Ideas In Public Safety: Foxconn Edition
Yes, Foxconn is actually building some type of manufacturing facility in Racine County in Wisconsin. But they don’t seem to fully appreciate the building safety laws that we’ve all come to expect. What do I mean? Sprinkler systems in buildings. Something that we all take for granted in modern buildings. Something that we all […]
Well apparently, because at 8 PM last evening he was pretending to get busy all by himself in the Senate Chambers:
Senate Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald of Juneau stood alone in the Senate chamber to formally gavel into the special session as required by law, and just as quickly ended it.
Though he […]
After ‘firing’ Governor Evers Agriculture Secretary this past week, Senator Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald has apparently taken a dislike to the governor’s appointment at Tourism. But he’s working off of rumor, not facts…so it’s just one more day and one more way to exhibit is animosity for the governor…and probably a silly effort to prove […]
WI Senate GOP Get Wound Up in Manure Storage!
No really…that’s the surface issue…but the real issue is the continuing power struggle between the GOP legislative branches and the Democratic Governor Tony Evers. The GOP has been dragging their feet in confirming the governor’s appointees…it’s November already and they have only confirmed five department secretaries and didn’t even confirm the first one until October.
[…]
What Foxconn was doing today:
just happened to stumble across this.
This was at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. But I should have known since they had an ad in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel listing their career days at college campuses.
Farmers Offered Band Aids, Not Solutions!
Wisconsin legislators are introducing three bills this fall that will help struggling farmers. The bills take direct aim at a number of financial stumbling blocks that farmers face and are well warranted. But while helping, they are simply treating the symptoms and not curing the disease.
Taxpayers […]
