Most readers of this blog are probably aware that Governor Scott Walker has included a ban on local residency requirements as part of his next biennial budget for 2013-2015. And of course this has resulted in any number of complaints from both the left and the right.

One comment | All during the football season, news junkies like myself have to endure almost daily color photos and headline stories above the fold on the front page of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel about the Green Bay Packers…even on bye weekends.

2 comments | In a tremendous effort to get a dozen stories out of one visit by Governor Walker to their newsroom and a little talk locally, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel today, decided to surmise on potential Democratic challengers in the 2014 gubernatorial election. My early pick: ABBA! Anybody But Barrett Again!

8 comments | According to an article on the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel’s website, the feds finally getting involved: The FBI has launched a criminal civil rights investigation into the death of Derek Williams in Milwaukee police custody, federal officials announced Wednesday.

Leave a comment | Many of you probably know that the Democratic Party of Wisconsin has an ongoing conversation on how to select candidates for public office. One group prefers selecting a single Democratic candidate and going all in to support that candidate and avoiding a primary. We saw a bit of this when the unions tried to dissuade [...] Posted by Ed Heinzelman on June 23, 2012, at 10:15 am | Tags: Chris Larson, Democratic Party of Wisconsin, Ed Heinzelman, Jason Fields, Mandela Barnes, Milwaukee County, Stephanie Findley, Tom Barrett, Wisconsin politics, Wisconsin recall elections | Category: Election 2012, From the Emailbox, News, Those Kooky Liberals!, Wisconsin Politics |

21 comments | Earlier today, Democratic President Barack Obama finally everything he could to help fellow Democrat Tom Barrett, who’s facing Republican Gov. Scott Walker in tomorrow’s recall election. Yep, that’s right; the President of the United States sent out a tweet voicing his support for Tom Barrett in tomorrow’s recall election. Apparently that’s all the support [...] Posted by Zach Wisniewski on June 4, 2012, at 8:36 pm | Tags: Barack Obama, Tom Barrett | Category: Politics, Those Kooky Liberals!, Wisconsin |
