Two egregious cases: Congresswoman Gwen Moore and Congressman John Lewis . (Check here for more on Moore .) Now what have Moore and Lewis done? They are cosponsoring a bill...

Federal highway officials trekked to Milwaukee a year ago tomorrow to listen to the public comment about how the Southeastern Wisconsin Regional Planning Commission had been doing its job the previous four years, and then to recommend - - on some presumably reasonable timetable - - changes based on the public's feedback so the agency could improve its community relations and overall performance. The...

We're closing in on the one-year anniversary - - October 22, 2008, to be exact - - when Federal Highway Administration reviewers came to Milwaukee and asked the public for input about how the Southeastern Wisconsin Regional Planning Commission was doing its job. It was quite the hearing/non-hearing: here's my blog account of how it went that day. Every four years, the feds conduct this review, and...

There are a number of food- and ag-related bills in Congress. Here are a few of the newest ones: Dairy H.R. 3674: Milk Import Tariff Equity Act - This is a GREAT bill that would slap a tariff on the Milk Protein Concentrates (MPCs) that come from other countries to undercut American dairy. This was also introduced into the Senate as S. 1542 by Chuck Schumer. School Lunch S. 1737 by Sen. Al Franken,...

Does anyone think they would grown a pair if they had a 70 seat majority in the Senate? No, me neither. How about 80 seats? Huge victory for Glenn Beck! Only 75 Democrats had the guts to stand up for ACORN today when the not-so-hapless Republican minority forced through a motion by GOP crook Darrell Issa (R-CA) to defund the organization. This is so pathetic-- and a true vision of the Republican idea...
