NBC stands its ground against Wisconsin
Authorities in Wisconsin did not want you to read this story. First a prosecutor sought a gag order after I reached out seeking comment. Then a state agency sent me a cease and desist order warning of potential criminal charges. Proud of @NBCNews for publishing it anyway. https://t.co/Gd2QoK54wS — Mike Hixenbaugh (@Mike_Hixenbaugh) January 27, 2020…

Politics, Sen. Fitzgerald, Speaker Vos, Wisconsin, WISGOP
Ho-Hum politics deserve heave-ho
Vos & Fitzgerald like their backwater state This one-party governing-by-cruelty-and-obstruction will keep Wisconsin in the grip of petty hacks and business bellhops smugly content to keep the state stuck in a backwater while the country moves ahead. Call it the elitism of the mediocre, a win for the dullest, lowest common denominator.

Taxes, Wisconsin
About that “Lowest Wisconsin Taxes in Years” Claim…
Don’t you all feel rich, rich, rich with these lower taxes? You don’t? Why not? It’s likely because this measure looked at taxes as a percentage of overall income in the state, which doesn’t account for who is getting those gains.
