@SteveAustinWI They could have saved money by going to Vistaprint and creating a sticker to put over the first name to change the street "Hugo Chavez Drive" More in line with Milwaukee politics.

Have to admit, I didn’t envision Milwaukee tearing out a Cesar Chavez statue so fast. But they did. It gone.

Useless news from the Journal. Nearest Publix is in Cincinnati Ohio. That's a long way to drive to pick up a gallon of milk.

Blue state policies fail again.
Pioneer Institute@PioneerBoston
Since 2020, Massachusetts has lost $14.8 billion in adjusted gross income due to domestic outmigration. Young workers, high earners, and retirees are leaving—shrinking the state’s tax base and raising long-term economic concerns. Read more in Pioneer's latest statement below!

Taxes have consequences. The top tax rate in Massachusetts is 9%, up from 5%. @GovEvers wanted to raise the top rate in Wisconsin to 9.8%. Not smart. There are 10 flights a day from Milwaukee to no tax Florida, 27 in peak travel season.

UW-Madison makes the College Fix again and its not good.

Milwaukee memory holes Cesar Chavez.
I wonder what Milwaukee will do when they come to the realization that the Democrats were on the side of the Confederacy and slavery, the KKK and Jim Crow.

Wisconsin has more manufacturing jobs that New York State (3x WI population) and almost as many as Illinois (2x WI population). NY and IL policies (high taxes, forced unionization) won't work here.

@SteveAustinWI They could just put a sticker over the first name and change it to the Hugo Chavez Middle School. More in line with the politics in that town anyways.
English
This is a sad story. My guess is that Cesar Chavez Elementary School in Madison will have to let this settle and rename the School shortly.
ABC News@ABC
Cesar Chavez, the late farmworker organizer who became a national civil rights icon and co-founded the United Farm Workers, is accused of abusing "young women or minors," the union said in a statement Tuesday. Read more: abcnews.link/6UYulZo

Actually, the Hugo Chavez Middle School would be more appropriate for that town.

Madison is in another moral panic. What to do about the (gasp!) Cesar Chavez Middle School?
Suggestion: save money on signage. Change the name to the Sid Caesar Middle School or the Cesar Romero Middle School.
Nah. Madison NEVER wants to save money on anything.

@derrickvanorden @RebeccaforWI @WisCranberries I have it from a reputable source that @rebeccaforwi is a liar.

I will comment for you.
As @RebeccaforWI does photo shoots sitting barefoot on a $1400 chair, I am discussing specialty crop provisions in the Farm Bill with one of our awesome cranberry farmers.

If someone told @saraforwi about Planned Parenthood founder Margaret Sanger and eugenics or George Floyd's treatment of women her head would explode.
Sara Rodriguez@saraforwi
The accounts of abuse by Cesar Chavez shared by Dolores Huerta, Ana Murguia, Debra Rojas, and other survivors are devastating, and my heart is with those who have come forward. They deserve to be heard, believed, and respected. There is no place for abuse or exploitation in any movement. We can honor the fight for workers’ rights while also being honest about harm. Our responsibility is to center people, tell the truth, and keep building a future rooted in dignity, safety, and respect.

@wiz_political He running a more active campaign than Hughes and Brennan on the Dem side and probably not blowing a million dollars in the process.
English
Honestly, really love this guy’s enthusiasm and style. His slogan/tagline is pretty solid. He has no shot at being remotely competitive in the GOP gubernatorial primary BUT think his talents could be a value add elsewhere in politics.
Told him several months again privately to consider lower office. Think that would be the place where he could make an immediate impact. Especially more true as more and more GOP candidates are retiring.
I also love a good yard sign.
Andy Manske@Andy_ManskeWI
Grateful for the support from good natured WI citizens across the state. To hold your own sign right out of a box is such a unique feeling. Our only item is signs. Milwaukee and Madison need more signs. Anyone pushing glasses, hats, shirts, and stickers over signs is unserious
English
@EricJBott Agreed but unlike the three other Dems polling over 10 percent, Crowley is the only one with experience with government finances at any level.
English
Crowley has repeatedly proven incapable of governing a county let alone an entire state.
Tom Tiffany@TomTiffanyWI
🚨ABSURD: @DavidCCrowley appointed Nick Sinram to lead Milwaukee County’s budget office. Sinram previously served as budget director for Milwaukee Public Schools, where the district ran $46 MILLION OVER BUDGET last school year. You truly can’t make this stuff up.

New York Gov Kathy Hochul:
2022: [to Republicans] "jump on a bus and head down to Florida, you don't represent our values, you are not New Yorkers."
2026: "maybe the first step is to go down to Palm Beach and see who you can bring back home, our tax base has been eroded."

Great article on why the left is more hate-filled than the right from the Daily Sceptic.
I often find really interesting stuff coming from British and Euro thinkers and podcasters. Checked out Spiked! Online if you have a few minutes free.

Half of the Republicans in the Wisconsin Senate voted against this, yet it still passed. The vote is questionable, but the Republican leadership on this issue was abysmal.

Here's an excerpt from the @WisGOP platform:
"We stand for a level playing field, free from the cronyism of subsidies, mandates, and monopolies."
Can someone explain how you go from this to subsidies for college athletes and a sweetheart deal giving certain people a monopoly on sports betting? I'm at a loss.
