It’s National Police Week.

This is a time to recognize the valiant men and women who put on the badge and serve our local communities around the clock, each and every day of the year.

We honor their courage, integrity and commitment to keeping our neighborhoods safe. We also remember the officers who made the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty, and keep their families in our thoughts.

Intellectual Conservatism Needs Fighters to Survive

Tom Klingenstein likes to say that you can’t win a war if you don’t know you are in one. That’s bad enough. But what about people who do know they are in a war, and choose to shoot at their own side? Those individuals would rather not fight, prefer to ignore the dreadful march of the destructive Left, and balk at “activist conservatives” who attempt to stop the progressive trampling of institutional, legal, and cultural inheritances.

The News: WILL has filed a federal lawsuit on behalf of Terri Koschnick and Joy Buchman, Wisconsin-licensed counselors, challenging a Wisconsin rule banning consensual, client-driven Christian counseling. The challenge follows an 8-1 Supreme Court ruling that Colorado’s identical law was unconstitutional “viewpoint discrimination,” the “most blatant” kind of First Amendment violation.

Wisconsin needs a Dam Man

Before I ever stepped foot in a legislative chamber, I had already spent years working as a dam tender on the Willow Flowage.

It’s a job that doesn’t come with much fanfare, but it does come with a lot of responsibility.

When you’re responsible for the flow of the water, you learn pretty quickly that you can’t argue with reality!

And if there’s a leak in the structure, you don't give a speech about it – you grab your tools, and you fix it.

Failure of tax-and-schools deal offers chance to do better

Think of the failure of the $1.8 billion tax-and-spending deal between Gov. Tony Evers and the Legislature as a second chance at better policy.

The deal died Wednesday night. After passing the Assembly, it fell 18-15 in the Senate. Three Republican senators who voted no called it fiscally irresponsible. Evers failed to persuade a single Senate Democrat to back it.

The Republican majority leadership’s aim — to get a projected $2 billion state surplus back to taxpayers who have been overcharged— was well-intentioned.

Bipartisan Bill to Provide Financial Relief to Families Passes in Assembly, Dies in Senate

Late Wednesday, the Assembly passed a bipartisan bill, negotiated with Gov. Evers, with the goal of returning $1.8 billion of our state's surplus money back to you, the taxpayers. Unfortunately, after the bill passed 61-32 in the Assembly, the Senate failed to pass the bill, keeping your tax dollars in Madison instead of in your pocket.

The bipartisan agreement planned to return some of the surplus back to taxpayers in three ways:

Politics at its Worst

Earlier this week, legislative leaders and the Governor reached a bipartisan agreement focused on two priorities I consistently hear about from constituents: affordability and supporting strong schools.

Unfortunately, that agreement failed to pass the State Senate by a vote of 15-18. Despite the support from the Governor, every Senate Democrat voted against the deal.

Census, Redistricting, & the 51st State

With the war, personnel changes in President Trump’s Cabinet, high costs of energy, and various primary elections of national interest filling the headlines, there are other topics pushed off of the front page. These topics are still nevertheless quite important to the Coulee Region, the State of Wisconsin, and the United States of America. Three critical “page two” topics are the next Census, Redistricting, and the 51st State.

Dangerous Illegal Drivers No More

Many Telegram readers know I have long called to end the dangerous practice of states issuing commercial driver’s licenses to illegal aliens.

From California to Illinois to Minnesota, we have all seen the reports. And when those licenses are issued in states neighboring Wisconsin, there is no question that some of those drivers are going to end up on our roads.

We have also seen the tragic consequences.
