Sen. Van Wanggaard: Evers Blaming GOP for Prison Plan Cost Jump Is 'Revisionist History'
Democrats have (and will) target the Manufacturing and Agriculture Credit for elimination if they get the majority next year.
A new UW-Madison study shows why that would be a disastrous idea, especially in SE Wisconsin.

Kenosha County Judge Jodi Meier hits the nail on the head in her opposition to Dequelvin Douglas's commutation request.
"The judge who sentences a defendant is in the best position to know the appropriate sentence. It is outrageous that the governor thinks he knows better."
Breaking - Late Friday afternoon, @govevers provided my office with 1,943 pages of commutation records. It's going to take some time to go through them.

Two years ago, Milwaukee's Common Council voted to give themselves 15% raises.
This year, they're only giving themselves 8% raises. $17,000 in raises over 2 years.
Nice work if you can get it.

UW Madison is complaining about guaranteed admission to the top 5% of High School Student in Wisconsin.
What they don't mention is that they created this mess by NOT admitting the top WI students.

Milwaukee Public Schools is going to ask STATE TAXPAYERS for $355 million to renovate their schools
"While Cassellius said ideally the $355 million would come from state lawmakers..."

That’s against the law. People go to jail for this.
EXCLUSIVE: Democrat Senate candidate Trevor Jung, the City of Racine's transportation director, has spent a full year campaigning on public time in what is likely a serious violation of criminal law. heartlandpost.com/exclusive-…
Every @WISenateDems vetoed against a bill that would have stated that the removal of a ectopic pregnancy is not an abortion.
Since Roe was overturned, deaths from ectopic pregnancies have nearly doubled — more so in states with abortion bans.
Extreme restrictions and abortion bans take life-saving healthcare options away from women across Wisconsin. I applaud Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin’s lawsuit to fight these restrictions and as governor, I will work to protect these reproductive freedoms for Wisconsinites.

We are devastated to inform you that Kathleen (Wanggaard) Jensen, the daughter of Van and Mary Jo Wanggaard, peacefully lost her nearly 4-year battle with cancer on Sunday evening, surrounded by her loving family.

Filing the Open Records Request as I post!
Are UW-Madison’s taxpayer-funded resources being used to advocate for the release of a double murderer? This 22 page letter on UW letterhead explicitly asks Evers to free incarcerated killer Daniel Cerney. His is a complex case. The victims’ family wants him released. But the the Monroe DA doesn’t.
He said that Cerney and his co actor “needlessly and ruthlessly ended the lives of two genuinely decent and good people, one of which was an 85 year old grandmother…The facts of Mr. Cerney’s crimes are particularly egregious, heinous and ruthless.” Both victims were shot. Cerney was 16.
My question is - what UW resources are paying for this? Is that appropriate if they are?
