The Republican war on the UW System is short-sighted and counter-productive, but it’s not irrational. The institution is, in fact, hostile to their world view.
Democrats have every reason to be suspicious of Assembly Speaker Robin Vos, who introduced a bill to adopt a nonpartisan redistricting process similar to Iowa’s.

Picks for Oct. 12-15 includes the Wisconsin Chamber Orchestra s first Musical Landscapes in Color series concert recording date; a pair of concerts by longtime Madisonian Tony Brown, visiting from New Mexico.
Noon, 10/15, Olbrich Gardens-Evjue Commons, with panel discussion by former mayors Sue Bauman, Dave Cieslewicz and Joe Sensenbrenner, moderated by Stu Levitan. Free. RSVP: mlgajewski@aol.com.
