Tomahawk Leader

I heard some people talking about there being a $25 charge for having a letter printed in the Letter to the Editor secton of the Tomahawk Leader. Is this true? Is it just for certain types of letters?

Act 10 now gutted by the courts, his voter suppression act held back by the courts, the wolf hunt taken apart by the courts has left Walker looking pretty lame.

Obamacare does have good ideas within it, however nationalized healthcare is a bad idea. In the short term, yes some people will benefit. However, the VA system and Medicare are good examples of why the nationalized system is going to negatively implact the entire healthcare system. Decreased reimb...

Each year tens of thousands of America go to other countries including Canada for various healthcare procedures. A friend of mine who is a rabid Tea Partier buys his prescriptions exclusively from Canada. The fact is The Affordable Care Act or ObamaCare if you prefer will do more for Americans than ...

"You get a break for the interest paid on your home mortgage. You get a deduction for charitable donations. You get a deduction for each kid you might have. " No mortgage, don't itemize, no kids. But I did have a tax bill. And here's something for Walker, my property tax bill was bigger th...

Should be educational. THE Wisconsin Public Radio IDEAS NETWORK PROGRAM FOR FRIDAY, JUNE 1, 2012 7:00 AM Joy Cardin - 06/01B Joy Cardin's guest after eight says that the difference between liberals and conservatives lies deep in their psychologies. He discusses the personality traits commonly associ...

I wonder how Walker money donors feel about their money to defend criminals. And after all, don't republicans claim lawyers are no good.

[quote="Kerry Tobin"]Hey, if nothing else, the recalls will bring a lot of money into Wisconsin. Think of all the money spent on TV commercials. Heck, if you really think about it, so far, this looks to be Walker's most successful (if not his first successful) jobs initiative...[/quote] We...

Yes, and the politics of the right is about ideology and emotions. The teaparty far right will vote for Walker even if he was shown to be a murderer, rapist and child molester or guilty of the charges in the Criminal Investigation. They don't care and will vote for him regardless of character or pas...

I see a lot of problems with the initial claims. Take for example: "Percentage of men and women who survived a cancer five years after diagnosis: U.S. 65%, England 46%, Canada 42%" Most healthcare systems do not look for cancers like colon cancer for example until later because all the med...

One news report I heard today on WSAU Radio said that they did have a dress code that allowed clothes that showed union affiliation.

If they have no dress code, it is not likely they have any legal standing? Has anyone every been asked to take off a shirt before?

It looks like Walker is wide open to letting out of state interests run the state. It is not a defense of him but with the citizens united decision and other allowance of legalized bribery, if not Walker being the prostitute it would be another. He may not lose the Recall election but hopefully the ...

I see them several times a year. The bald eagles do not get the white head on them until about five years old at maturity so the younger ones can be confused with the golden eagle. If you have a bird book and binoculars and can get a good look you can discern the difference.

One member of the U.S. Senate answers some of the question on this: Food Safety Modernization Act (S. 510): Frequently Asked Questions/Myths Will the Food Safety Bill outlaw home gardens and family farms? NO. The Food Safety Bill does not outlaw home gardens or family farms. In fact, the bill explic...

My car gets in the high forties mpg wise in the summer so I do not forsee any changes for me. And I camp with a tent. In fact I don't mind the higher gas prices when it comes to traveling and camping. It takes some of the Valdez Class tankers off of the highway except for the wealthy. They don't don...

"Governor Scott Walker's budget recognizes that this is not the time to force communities to take out very substantial loans to upgrade wastewater treatment plants. They can't afford these investments, nor can their ratepayers, your constituents," Stepp told the committee." We hear th...

And this morning it was announced that Walker and Cathy Stepp ordered that a law protecting lakes from phosphorus be halted, something the WMC is applauding. Weed and algae growth and fish kills are apparently preferable in their mind to clean, healthy lakes..

I just saw that this morning. All very disgusting. "...no college degree, very little management experience and two drunken-driving convictions." "His father is Jerry Deschane, executive vice president and longtime lobbyist for the Madison-based Wisconsin Builders Association, which b...

The State is truly in trouble. I used to think Tommy Thompson was the king of nepotism and partronage. No more. Cathy Stepp who exhibited nothing but disdain for our natural resources now heads the DNR. Senator Randy Hopper's girl friend ends up with a state job at $12,000 more than her predecessor ...

Nicolet College is a private college although it receives some public moneys. The letter writer seems to have a grudge against successful women rather than a valid complaint about the use of taxpayer money. If you want to help save the college money, get on a board and come to the meetings and come ...

Many citizens would be happy to say the Pledge of Allegiance except for the fact that religious fanatics inserted their god propaganda into it in 1954. They like to use the power of the government to inflict their beliefs on others when they can. Hopefully, we will someday go back to a Pledge for al...
