BrightStar Senior Living Madison is breaking ground next month in Waunakee for the construction of a new senior care living facility. This company is part of BrightStar Care, an Illinois-based franchisor with hundreds of separately owned territories across the country.
Donald Trump’s new communications director, Goldman Sachs alumnus Anthony Scaramucci, doesn’t just claim that Madison is a communist stronghold. Scaramucci says there’s a Marxist strain that runs through all of Wisconsin.
Last week, U.S. District Court Judge J.P. Stadtmueller issued a preliminary injunction prohibiting Milwaukee County from enforcing its ordinance requiring permits for virtual and location-based augmented reality games in county parks saying that it likely violates the First Amendment.
Many Western Wisconsin roads and other infrastructure washed out in 2016 floods are still not rebuilt; one NW local official says he has seen a dozen 100-year-storms in the last 30 years, while a state official says road-building standards have not caught up with “evidence … pointing towards increasing frequency of large” storm events.
The MacIver Institute has dug into the numbers, taken a deeper dive into DOT projects that are at the very least questionable, if not an outright waste of taxpayer money, and administrative failures that have added substantial and unnecessary costs.
Latest GOP approach is bad news for this state and others.
Access to affordable, high quality health care is a duty of our society to everyone. Health care for all is a moral responsibility of our people to each other.
