It is not unusual for the federal government to reach its legal spending limit. It has done so four times in the past six years…three of those times in the previous administration. Those three times the limit was raised with few qualms and little quarrel. But every once in a…

So we all know that Scott Walker and Donald Trump gave away the farm…or several farms if you look at the impact of eminent domain in Racine County…but Foxconn never kept their part of the bargain. And the facility in Mount Pleasant WI is a fraction of the promised investments…

Everyone including Wisconsin Assembly Speaker Robin Vos (R) admit that the state revenue sharing formula isn’t working. I discussed this a bit a few weeks ago.
