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 […]
Wisconsin Farmers Aren’t Over the Hump
Of course most of Wisconsin already knows that but during his visit to Milwaukee in one of his now ‘patented’ rallies, President Donald Trump exclaimed that they were!
President Donald Trump raised $3 million in Wisconsin cash on Friday touring Milwaukee to promote a new trade deal he says will help rebuild […]
This Is Happening in Wisconsin Not Appalachia:
First, apologies to those who can’t access the article…JSOnline has this one behind their pay wall: Lake Area Free Clinic saw the need for better access to dental care — and did something about it. But I am going to quote as much of it as I can…that I deem relevant.
We’ve all […]
Some Thoughts On Electric Scooters
This may seem bit a field for Blogging Blue…but Governor Evers signed a bill allowing local governments to permit and regulate the scooters in their areas. This is the result of the scooter controversy in Milwaukee last summer when Bird scooters started operating in the city unannounced. Naturally a number of companies want to operate […]
Wisconsin, Trump, And Manufacturing!
There was a fair amount of newsworthy commentary about the economy and Wisconsin buried in the last half of an article announcing President Trump’s impending visit to Milwaukee. But I just want to bring this statement up for the moment:

The GOP dominated Wisconsin legislature passed a number of bills this past week that tightened the availability of abortions in the state. Nothing as restrictive as those in Georgia or Alabama but obviously moving in that direction.

Another Tax Windfall, Another Tax Giveaway?
The state is expected to take in $753 million more through the summer of 2021 than earlier estimated, giving lawmakers a small windfall as they work on the state budget.
Well…first of all…these are always estimates based on current trends. So really…there is no guarantee this will actually […]
Yesterday, Zach posted a blog about the continued issues at the Wisconsin Economic Development Corp (WEDC) and pointed out that this is a Republican issue. WEDC has awarded hundreds of thousands of dollars in tax credits to companies who haven’t earned them. They have issued millions of dollars in loans that haven’t been […]
Wisconsin’s Medicaid Hot Potato!
Wisconsin remains in the minority of states who haven’t accepted the Medicaid expansion as part of the Affordable Care Act. As a result, Wisconsin still has 82,000+ residents who are uninsured or under-insured and has lost $1.1 billion in federal government support dollars for Medicaid. These amounts aren’t being disputed. But former Governor Scott Walker […]
But Voted For Him (Trump) Anyway:
From an article in today’s Milwaukee Journal Sentinel about the 2020 Presidential Election possibilities in Wisconsin:
In the 2016 election day exit poll of Wisconsinites leaving the voting booth, 64% viewed Trump unfavorably. But 21% of the voters who didn’t like him voted for him anyway.
What is wrong with these people?
