BRING VOTER ID TO UNDERSERVED VOTERS…
By Jay Heck, Director of Common Cause/ Wisconsin
Walker and WISDOT never even considered a Mobile Van Program to bring Voter ID to underserved voters. Some former Confederate States make it easier to obtain Voter ID than does Wisconsin.
In June of 2015, Common Cause of Wisconsin and 12 other state and national public interest organizations sent this letter to Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WISDOT) Secretary Mark Gottlieb requesting the establishment of a mobile Division of Motor Vehicles program. The program would have vehicles that visit under-served ...

KRONENWETTER BRINGS IMPORTANT ISSUES TO WAUSAU MAYORAL CAMPAIGN
Jay Kronenwetter brings important issues to the Wausau Mayoral Campaign.
Here are some of them:

• Central Wisconsin government bodies have avoided being subject to open records, wage requirements, and public accounting on job creation when using public funds for “economic development” purposes.
• There is insufficient mayoral-oversight of TIF projects, ...
VOTE FOR JOANNE KLOPPENBURG
Justice Rebecca Bradley, appointed by Governor Walker three times--to circuit court, appellate court, and the Wisconsin Supreme Court--in the last three years, is running for a 10-year term on the Wisconsin Supreme Court.
