Happy Father's Day, everyone! As a dad to two amazing daughters, I know firsthand how special this day is. It's a time to celebrate the love, joy, and sometimes chaos that comes with being a father. Whether you're a dad, stepdad, grandfather, or father figure, your role is

Wisconsin's state budget expires on June 30. There are three options based on what I am seeing: 1. Accept the Governor's budget. The Governor made clear he wants significant spending and tax increases. The requests don't even make sense... It's a non-starter. 2. Support the

The US Supreme Court recently pointed out to the entire country how unjust the Wisconsin Supreme Court's liberal majority is. I hope this is a wake-up call to those who didn't feel it necessary to vote in this past election, or who helped vote in the most recent member of the

"When a court concludes that the Executive Branch has acted unlawfully, the answer is not for the court to exceed its power, too... The Court today puts an end to the 'increasingly common' practice of federal courts issuing universal injunctions." Justice Amy Coney Barrett from

🚨Next Steps on the State Budget: There seems to be growing agreement the risk is way too high to give the current Governor another shot at billions in wasteful spending and more 400-year tax increases through the veto pen. Many Wisconsin taxpayers are struggling to make ends

Interesting to hear there's a budget deal between the Governor and legislative leadership. I've yet to see a page of what is likely over $100 billion in spending.

8:54am: Just received the 421-page, $111.1 BILLION budget for the first time, which I'm supposed to read through and vote to approve in the next hour. Looks like a Nancy Pelosi-inspired approach: approve it first, and then we can read it!

Another example of government and academic elites getting in the way of a more productive workforce. As a former CPA, there's no good reason universities need to require tens of thousands of dollars in extra tuition and fees for CPA licensing. Time to stop incentivizing

Repealing the Governor's 400-Year Tax Increase We are living with the consequences of the Governor's partial veto of the previous state budget, which allows school districts to raise revenue limits by $325 per student each year without ever obtaining the approval of the people

Despite record high state spending on education, I was saddened but not surprised to hear about more Wisconsin cities struggling with their K-12 school districts. Living in Southeastern Wisconsin, we hear a lot about Milwaukee Public Schools (MPS) and their leadership problems,

Thank you to all the first responders, police, fire, and EMS who have been working tirelessly to assist our communities and help our neighbors in need during the historic flooding across Southeastern Wisconsin. I also want to thank our local leaders who are working alongside

DEI isn't dead yet, but I love to see it losing. Recently, the University of Wisconsin Board of Regents agreed to settle a federal lawsuit with an employee forced to resign from a UW DEI office because of her race. Unfortunately, mainstream media outlets like the Milwaukee

This week's listening session in Wales covered a wide range of topics, including concerns about the liberal State Supreme Court majority overwriting the Legislature's lawmaking and administrative oversight abilities, the impact of Milwaukee criminals on Waukesha County's courts
