WI Senate Leader Caves On Chemo Vote...

So the ball is in Assembly Speaker Robin Vos' special-interest court.

Call him and tell him to schedule the vote now: (608) 266-9171. More here.

Background, here.

And from the intimidated Scott Walker, silence still.

Paul Ryan Goes From Smartest To Meanest Guy In Room

Paul Ryan has decided to run over poor school children, unemployed workers and other low-income Americans on a path to the 2016 GOP presidential nomination, and national media are getting in some heavy licks.

My guess is that Ryan loves seeing what he has so articulately engineered into mainstream print. These stories and columns will be trumpeted as badges of honor by righty talk shows and serve Ryan tactically because they help him separate from the crowded right-wing fringe.

You've got Walker and Cruz and Jindal and Palin and Trump and Huckabee and John Bolton and Rand Paul all trying to out-Right-flank each other for attention and Fox 'News' channel cred.

And be first among equals winning the Koch brothers/Sheldon Adelson/NRA lotteries,  few people wouldn't want judgements like these on their permanent records:

*  The LA Times says Ryan's recent broadside at the poor was a personal, political calculation:

Rep. Paul Ryan calls for cuts in anti-poverty programs

Welfare, child care, college grants are all under the House Republican's budget ax in a lengthy critique that returns Ryan to the national stage in advance of a possible 2016 presidential run.

Followed by:

*  A St. Patrick's weekend op-ed:

Paul Ryan’s Irish Amnesia

*  Also a take down by Nobel-prize winner and columnist Paul Krugman:

That Old-Time Whistle

 *  This being Krugman's earlier slam:

The poverty hammock fallacy of Paul Ryan and GOP

Robin Vos Joins Walker-Fitzgerald Death Panel

The Wisconsin Assembly Speaker adds his own procedural tricks to stall a bill with broad support - - though not from Scott Walker and Senate Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald - - to make oral chemotherapy medication available to cancer patients with certain health insurance plans.

The bill is opposed by insurance companies and a lobbyist, former Assembly speaker Jeff Fitzgerald, Scott Fitzgerald's brother.

It looks like the recall elections of 2012 came a bait too early.

Reviews, Debate About Waukesha Water Diversion Reaches Pennsylvania

I'd noted over the weekend that veteran Ohio newspaper reporter Tom Henry had published in the Toledo Blade a long look at Waukesha's bid for Great Lakes water and the skeptical reaction it was getting in Canada.

Turns out that The Blade, in Ohio, has a sister paper in Pittsburgh, and it ran Henry's story, too.

WisDOT Wants To Re-Route State Highway Through School Lot, Antique Mall

People in Milwaukee's Story Hill neighborhood north of Miller Park where WisDOT wants to build an eight-lane, double-decked monstrosity over several cemeteries, or along State Highway 164/J between Waukesha and Washington Counties where WisDOT is trying to gouge extra lanes through miles of farm and residential frontage will not be surprised the agency has a people-hostile plan for the Village of Walworth:

Re-routing State Highway 14 within a few feet of an elementary school - - along with 'moving' parkland and tearing down an antique mall - - to better serve through traffic.

The local paper has some details, here:

WALWORTH — The Walworth Elementary School Board took its first official action Monday night to oppose the plan that reroutes Highway 14 closer to its location at 121 Beloit St. 

At the recommendation of the Village Board, the Department of Transportation intends to implement a reroute of Highway 14 that relocates Heyer Park to the east, which allows the road to curve around the square. 

The plan also calls for the Antique Mall to be torn down. With the Antique Mall gone, the road would travel through its old location, which eliminates all right-hand turns. 

Walworth Elementary School officials are concerned that bringing the road closer to the building will put students at risk who walk to the campus. 

An earlier story noted that the re-routed highway will be so close to the school - - 53 feet - - that some of the school's parking lot will be taken; a separate story put the new proximity of the highway to the school at 38 feet while quoting a WisDOT official saying the plan will bring about a "smoother" flow.

WisDOT data indicate about 600 trucks a day on average would use the highway and also about 6,000 cars.

Sounds to me like the same old WisDOT game: Highway 'planners' and their road-builder pals see contracts and wider lanes - - 'added capacity,' in the jargon - - where the rest of you see assets in a grade school, homes, businesses, farm fields and cemetaries.

The very institutions that define a community without treating it like a high-speed thruway.

This ill-conceived project hasn't moved into the 'it's-too-late-to-do-anything-about it' phase, so let's help the good people of Walworth get the word to transportation and elected officials that elementary-age kids and semi-tractor trailers don't mix.

WI GOP Senate Leader Runs A Death Panel

[Updated Sunday, 12:30 p.m.] The headline, photo and story below say it all as the Legislature heads to adjournment, so I write in protest for my mother, father, younger brother and Milwaukee best friend who died of cancers, and on behalf of my many friends whose parents and other relatives were lost the same way, and to honor those close to me, or complete strangers who are all alive today because life-saving cancer drugs were not denied them by politicians or special-interest errand boys or clerks at the State Capitol today playing doctor, playing God:

Wisconsin senators heavily support cancer drug bill; no vote planned

More than two-thirds of GOP senators and four-fifths of the state Senate now publicly support a bipartisan bill to help cancer patients get critical treatments, but the measure is still being blocked by the head of that house. 

Senate Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald (R-Juneau) said Wednesday he's going to unusual steps to block the proposal because a majority of his GOP caucus opposes it, not because his brother is lobbying on behalf of influential insurers to kill the bill.

Gov. Walker could fix this with one ten-second phone call, or a one-line email: "

"Schedule the bill." 

Until then, his silence is as despicable as is the reprehensible Scott Fitzgerald's.

People should call the Senator's office - - as have I - - to ask he schedule the bill for a vote immediately, and certainly before adjournment. His office phone number is 608-266-5660. I would recommend against email, as hard copy letters have more impact. His office address is 211 South State Capitol, Madison, WI 53707-7882.

FRIDAY, MARCH 14, 2014 In WI, Cancer Patients Need Better Meds, Lobbying 

The Journal Sentinel reports that some Wisconsin cancer patients can't get a vote scheduled on a drug coverage bill opposed by insurance companies because of procedural roadblocks  - - including the scheduling of phantom hearings - - thrown up as the session ends by Senate Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald, (R-Juneau). 

What these cancer patients and their cash-strapped families didn't understand is that they needed more juice, better access and hands-on experience in and around the State Capitol to get Fitzgerald's ear.

Sen. Bob Jauch Writes About NW Wisconsin Beauty

I hope everyone remembers this little note I pulled off State Sen. Bob Jauch's Facebook page tonight as plans proceed for a 4.5 mile long, half-mile wide, 700-1,000 ft. open-pit iron ore mine in his District dug for 35 years to replace dynamited, trucked, and crushed Penokee Hills' rock, forests and waters near Lake Superior:

At least 3 miles of cars parked on highway 13, Bayfield full of families from Minneapolis, St. Paul, Stillwater and beyond. Motels are full in Bayfield and Washburn as area prepares for last day of ice cave viewing. Ice road is icy and bumpy and limited to local traffic. Our quiet and beautiful region has been discovered and we will no doubt see many people venturing to the north this summer to enjoy the sea caves and those beautiful islands.

Paul Ryan Will Meet With Black Caucus Over His 'Inarticulation'

Damage control, as his minority colleagues know Ryan meant exactly what he said, had heard it before, saw right through it and his follow-up excuses, too.

Still waiting for Ryan buddy Scott Walker to take questions about email secrecy and sleaze.

More Outside Media Looking At Waukesha's Water Play

I've written often on this blog - - here, or here - - that Waukesha's intense push for a Lake Michigan diversion under the Great Lakes Compact of 2008 may play well at home, but its precedent-setting application for the diversion raises concerns across a huge North American region over the volume of water Waukesha is seeking and its intention to redistribute some of that water into undeveloped acreage and neighboring towns with no water shortages.

So I commend to you this outstanding scene-setter by water and environmental expert Tom Henry, a long-time staffer at The Blade, Toledo, Ohio's daily paper:

The Great Lakes compact seeks to keep water in this region. 

A non-binding agreement in principle - i.e. a public acknowledgment - is the best that can be done in that regard because states cannot enter into legally binding contracts with provinces or other foreign entities. 

The heavy negotiations that went into that compact led to some eye-opening revelations, not the least of which was how Americans don't quite appreciate or understand the Canadian perspective when it comes to something as simple as protecting the Great Lakes. 

Put yourself in Canada's shoes. Or winter boots, for that matter. 

The USA, to many Canadians, is a big resource-sucking machine.   We covet Canada's water, natural gas, and timber. 

We sometimes think of the Great Lakes as our own, when - in fact - it's a shared resource. 

Of the 40 million people who live in the Great Lakes basin, 30 million are in the United States and 10 million are in Canada. In other words, one of every four Great Lakes residents are Canadians, plus there are rights to the water claimed by tribes and First Nations.

Data Show Red State Voters Vote Against Their Own Interests

Red state voters have to understand they are voting against their own interests, and blue state voters need to make income inequality the issue, solid data show:

Between 1979 and 2007, the top 1 percent took home well over half (53.9 percent) of the total increase in U.S. income. Over this period, the average income of the bottom 99 percent of U.S. taxpayers grew by 18.9 percent. Simultaneously, the average income of the top 1 percent grew over 10 times as much—by 200.5 percent.

Lopsided income growth characterizes every state between 1979 and 2007.

• In four states (Nevada, Wyoming, Michigan, and Alaska), only the top 1 percent experienced rising incomes between 1979 and 2007, and the average income of the bottom 99 percent fell.
• In another 15 states the top 1 percent captured between half and 84 percent of all income growth between 1979 and 2007. Those states are Arizona (where 84.2 percent of all income growth was captured by the top 1 percent), Oregon (81.8 percent), New Mexico (72.6 percent), Hawaii (70.9 percent), Florida (68.9 percent), New York (67.6 percent), Illinois (64.9 percent), Connecticut (63.9 percent), California (62.4 percent), Washington (59.1 percent), Texas (55.3 percent), Montana (55.2 percent), Utah (54.1 percent), South Carolina (54.0 percent), and West Virginia (53.3 percent).
• In the 10 states in which the top 1 percent captured the smallest share of income growth from 1979 to 2007, the top 1 percent captured between about a quarter and just over a third of all income growth. Those states are Louisiana (where 25.6 percent of all income growth was captured by the top 1 percent), Virginia (29.5 percent), Iowa (29.8 percent), Mississippi (29.8 percent), Maine (30.5 percent), Rhode Island (32.6 percent), Nebraska (33.5 percent), Maryland (33.6 percent), Arkansas (34.0 percent), and North Dakota (34.2 percent).

The lopsided growth in U.S. incomes observed between 1979 and 2007 resulted in a rise in every state in the top 1 percent’s share of income. This rise in income inequality represents a sharp reversal of the patterns of income growth that prevailed in the half century following the beginning of the Great Depression; the share of income held by the top 1 percent declined in every state but one between 1928 and 1979.

After incomes at all levels declined as a result of the Great Recession, lopsided income growth has reemerged since the recovery began in 2009, with the top 1 percent capturing an alarming share of economic growth.

• University of California at Berkeley economist Emmanuel Saez estimates that between 2009 and 2012, the top 1 percent captured 95 percent of total income growth.¹
• Data for individual states (available only through 2011) show that rising inequality has again become a pervasive trend: Between 2009 and 2011, in 33 states the top 1 percent captured between half and all income growth.
  • The states in which all income growth between 2009 and 2011 accrued to the top 1 percent include Colorado, Illinois, Florida, Arizona, Oregon, Arkansas, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, California, Connecticut, Tennessee, New York, Ohio, Georgia, Vermont, Pennsylvania, Nevada, South Carolina, Alabama, Idaho, North Carolina, Missouri, Washington, Rhode Island, and Virginia.
  • The remaining states in which the top 1 percent captured half or more of income growth between 2009 and 2011 include Kansas (where 91.2 percent of all income growth was captured by the top 1 percent), Michigan (91.0 percent), New Hampshire (83.3 percent), Indiana (75.6 percent), Texas (74.4 percent), Wisconsin (70.5 percent), and Maine (60.0 percent).

Focusing on inequality in 2011, the most recent year for which state data are available, New York and Connecticut had the largest gaps between the average incomes of the top 1 percent and the average incomes of the bottom 99 percent. In both states the top 1 percent earn average incomes roughly 40 times those of the bottom 99 percent. This reflects in part the relative concentration of the financial sector in and beyond the New York City metropolitan area.

• The next eight states with the largest gaps between the top 1 percent and bottom 99 percent in 2011 are Florida (where the top 1 percent earned 32.2 times as much as the bottom 99 percent, on average), Massachusetts (30.2), Nevada (29.5), Wyoming (27.6), California (26.8), Texas (26.3), Illinois (24.5), and New Jersey (23.9).
• Even in the 10 states with the smallest gaps between the top 1 percent and bottom 99 percent in 2011, the top 1 percent earned between about 12 and 17 times the income of the bottom 99 percent. Those states include Kentucky (where the top 1 percent earned 16.7 times as much as the bottom 99 percent, on average), Idaho (16.3), Delaware (16.2), New Mexico (15.6), Nebraska (15.5), Mississippi (15.2), Maine (14.9), Iowa (13.7), Alaska (13.5), and Hawaii (12.1).

Broad Agreement: Walker Job Creation Promise Will Fail

Though Scott Walker promised repeatedly in his 2010 and 2012 gubernatorial campaigns he'd oversee the creation of 250,000 new private-sector jobs in a first term, only 106,100 such jobs - - less than half the promised total - - have been created during his first three years in office.

The source for that computed shortfall?

The Wisconsin Department of Workforce Development - - a Walker cabinet agency run by his appointees - - and reported by the Journal Sentinel. 

The report also shows a drop in the state's unemployment rate, and the slowly improving national economy should lift Wisconsin's boat, too - - but the so-so jobs gains under Walker could have been spun more positively by his handlers if Walker had not over-promised during his campaign.

For the record - - this is the second time that a Walker administration cabinet department projected that Walker would fall far short of the 250,000-new-jobs pledge, as The Wisconsin State Journal reported in October, 2011:

The Department of Revenue report released Friday predicts that by 2014, the state will have added only 136,000 jobs in the private sector compared with 2010. The job growth estimate was down 43,000 from the department's previous report released in June.

Maybe someday we'll find out how the tightly-controlled Walker campaign and cautious candidate himself could have fallen into this self-inflicted trap.

That tactical mistake, combined with documented performance failures at the Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation - - a cabinet department remade into a public-private corporation to give Walker a chance as agency chairman to showcase executive, job-creating skills - - will be a drag on Walker's 2014 re-election campaign and possible 2016 national GOP presidential candidacy.

The 2014 election is less than nine months away - - a pretty long time in the worlds of politics and economic data collection - - and Wisconsin's economy could squeeze out enough growth to boost Wisconsin from the 37th job-growth ranking nationally that the Journal Sentinel says is our current, sluggish lot:

The most recent quarterly census, released in December, showed that Wisconsin added private-sector jobs at a 1.0% rate in the 12 months from June 2012 through June 2013, which ranked the state 37th among the 50 states in the pace of job creation during that period. The quarterly report tracks the economy in rolling 12-month increments, measured every three months.

Under the quarterly census, Wisconsin has trailed the national rate of job creation since July 2011. The United States created private-sector jobs at a rate of 1.9% in the latest 12-month period, nearly double Wisconsin's 1.0% rate.

The newspaper also quotes an expert who doesn't think this suggests that Walker can keep the jobs-promise:

Mathematically, it appears unlikely that Wisconsin will meet Walker's employment objectives, said Marquette University economics professor Abdur Chowdhury.

"Even with an estimated 106,000 private-sector jobs created in the last three years, Gov. Scott Walker is less than halfway toward meeting his promise," Chowdhury said. "To meet Walker's 250,000 pledge, the state would have to create in one year 38,000 more jobs than during the previous three years combined."

A point I'd noted before, including in January when previewing Walker's State of the State speech:

...he's all-but-mathematically eliminated from, or even getting close to keeping his 2010 campaign's signature promise...

Walker's Jobs Fail Confirmed By...Walker's Jobs Agency

As has been continually reported on this blog and elsewhere, Scott Walker is impossibly far from meeting his 250,000 new private-sector jobs campaign promise, and just how far he is from that goal - - more than 143,000 jobs - - has been documented by his own administration, the Journal Sentinel reports. 

"Wisconsin added 106,100 private-sector jobs from December 2010 through December 2013," according to a monthly jobs report Thursday from the state Department of Workforce Development.

I posted more about this at Purple Wisconsin. Feel free to weigh in there.

In WI, Cancer Patients Need Better Meds, Lobbying

The Journal Sentinel reports that some Wisconsin cancer patients can't get a vote scheduled on a drug coverage bill opposed by insurance companies because of procedural roadblocks  - - including the scheduling of phantom hearings - - thrown up as the session ends by Senate Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald, (R-Juneau).

What these cancer patients and their cash-strapped families didn't understand is that they needed more juice, better access and hands-on experience in and around the State Capitol to get Fitzgerald's ear.

The health insurance industry fighting the bill is working with lobbyist Jeff Fitzgerald, Scott Fitzgerald's brother and a former Assembly bigwig, the newspaper notes.

Savvy suitors looking for hookups with this Legislature and administration know the inside game is everything. that to get what you want it's best to be smack dab in the bill-drafting process itself, as was the iron mining company with the reported help of Sen. Fitzgerald.

Or as was arranged by GOP State Rep. Joel Kleefisch - - husband of the Lieutenant Governor - - who allowed a big Republican donor to help write a self-interested bill designed to cut some potential divorce settlement payments.

Succeeding with these legislators, leaders and administration is all about whom you know, which closed door to work behind, and what's the best route to make sure a hearing is hurried or cancelled, a bill phrase gets inserted or deleted, or a budget amendment magically finds its way into the document at the last moment.

Hey, one thing can lead to another and your wetland property can instantly win legal status as a development's basement, and even your retired Dad might end up head of the State Patrol thanks to a new Gov. Walker in office and sending signals for just a few weeks.

In Wisconsin, 2014 - - or as we say around here, year three Of The Great Special Interest Coup - - cancer treatment isn't only a matter of medicine, just as wetlands protections and public water rights and mining run-off prevention aren't necessarily matters of public health and safety.

In Wisconsin, you have to have the Right political prescriptions to get the public health care and private medical treatments you need.

Another Paul Ryan Dishonest Articulation

For the record: 

Formerly smart-guy Paul Ryan's blaming his lack of articulation for his smear of inner-city men - - "Rep. Paul Ryan said Thursday he was "inarticulate" in his comments on poverty on Bill Bennett's radio show this week" - - is the second time I've seen that phony default come out of his mouth when the poor are in his party's sights.

He did the same thing when excusing Mitt Romney for their campaign-killing "47%" smear:

RENO, Nev. — Mitt Romney's running mate is calling the Republican presidential nominee "obviously inarticulate" when he remarked that nearly half of Americans believe they are victims and entitled to a range of government support.

Citizens File Challenge to DNR Permit for Ebert Dairy Enterprises

Expanding Factory Dairy in Kewaunee County Poses Risk to Health and Groundwater

ALGOMA, WISCONSIN—Neighbors of a large concentrated animal feeding operation (CAFO) have filed a petition with the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) seeking review of the water pollution permit issued to Ebert Dairy Enterprises LLC in Kewaunee County, Wisconsin. The permit waives pollution monitoring requirements while allowing an expansion and the use of experimental liquid manure spray irrigation.

The petitioners are concerned that an expansion of Ebert’s industrial dairy will result in the production and land-application of massive quantities of liquid manure and other wastes that could result in runoff into area lakes and streams, and may lead to groundwater contamination.

The petitioners are particularly concerned that DNR approved Ebert’s proposal to spray-irrigate liquid manure on two nearby fields without sufficient limitations to protect public health and water quality, and without groundwater quality monitoring required by the permit. 

The petitioners include ten individuals who live near or share property lines with the various Ebert facilities or its manure application fields, and will be directly affected by its operations.

“Spray irrigation of liquid manure, which the DNR acknowledges contains 160 known pathogens, puts all of us, especially our children, the elderly and those with compromised immune systems at risk,” said Lee Luft, one of the petitioners.

“This type of waste disposal is unproven and irresponsible, especially since DNR has waived groundwater monitoring requirements.”

“Our customers increasingly complain of liquid manure odors, poor road conditions and algae-covered beaches,” said petitioner Robyn Mulhaney who, along with petitioner Susan Connor, owns The Flying Pig Gallery & Greenspace in Algoma.

 “The expansion of Ebert’s Dairy, and especially its proposal to spray-irrigate liquid manure in our community, will further harm our business and will drive travelers around Kewaunee County, not through it.” 

The petition, filed with the DNR on March 7, 2014, seeks review of various terms and conditions of the Wisconsin Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (WPDES) permit issued to Ebert Dairy Enterprises on January 8, 2014.

The dairy recently expanded by purchasing the Duescher Farms CAFO in Kewaunee, and DNR’s permit authorizes yet another expansion.  If the permit is upheld, by 2017 Ebert will generate and dispose of more than 55 million gallons of untreated liquid manure and wastewater each year. 

Ebert operates a main facility on County Highway D in Algoma, and a heifer facility on CTH K in Kewaunee.

The petitioners are represented by the Madison law firm of McGillivray Westerberg & Bender LLC and the Washington, D.C.-based Environmental Integrity Project    

How WI GOP-Approved Ballot Restrictions Will Depress Milwaukee Vote

A lot of the focus on GOP State Senate-approved limitations to in-person absentee voting in Wisconsin statewide has been on its intentional reduction of early voting hours.

Now the City of Milwaukee's election commission has put together data (below) showing how mandating in-person absentee voting to a single site will further disadvantage and jam the voters in a big city like Milwaukee - - but less so in smaller (read: often Republican) communities:

·       Since the 2000 General Election, in-person absentee voting percentages have increased 700% in the City of Milwaukee.  Municipalities across the state and the nation are experiencing comparable interest by voters in “voting early.”  

·       By comparing voting statistics from municipalities across the state, it is evident that Milwaukee and Madison have the lowest percentages of in-person absentee voters.  These percentages demonstrate how the existing limitation of one site per municipality has effected in-person absentee voting for large municipalities.  As a result of this restriction, Milwaukee and Madison have not had the same ability to maximize in-person absentee voting as a mechanism for increasing access to voting and alleviating overcrowding at voting sites at comparable rates to other municipalities. If parity and uniformity are really the goals, Milwaukee should have multiple sites.

·       The limitation of one site per municipality, regardless of size, and the recent further restriction and limitation to the hours of operations places a cap on the capacity of large municipalities like Milwaukee and Madison, to respond to the increased public interest in voting early and the unique needs of residents in urban areas.  

·       As a result of the newly passed restriction to hours, the % of in-person absentee voters in large municipalities like Milwaukee and Madison will  decrease, while the percentages of other smaller municipalities, not effected by the cap on capacity, will  continue to increase.

·       The highest percentage of in-person absentee voters in Milwaukee reside in Aldermanic Districts 6 and 7, two geographic areas of the city largely populated by the people in the lowest socio-economic classes.   The continued restrictions to in-person voting will have the greatest impact on these populations.
