"When the Republicans decided that 35,000 people that work for the UW System shouldn't get a raise without having any legislation, that that gives them that authority, that's just bulls—," Evers told reporters Tuesday.
This is the first I've heard of him or this situation, but I'm a big fan so far.
The party of small government and free markets puts their thumb on the scale of progress.

We can't spend too much time and money on education up here, we have weed smokers to throw in jail!
For those out of the loop, my understanding is that the speaker of the Wisconsin Assembly (lower house in Wisconsin), Robin Vos ® has declared that he will not allow any raises for anyone working for the University of Wisconsin system unless and until the UW system gets rid of any and all diversity initiatives. The UW system consists of 13 public universities with campuses across the state, one of which has a cutting edge hospital system, namely UW health in Madison. This has been going on since at least mid September.
This is the same man and party that has/is also (not an exhaustive list):
- Threatening to oust general election commissioner of Wisconsin
- Threaten and create taxpayer funded panels seeking to impeach the newly elected, pro-choice Supreme Court Justice Janet Protasiewicz (D) that swapped the majority of the Supreme Court just after Roe v Wade was overturned
- Hand-picked an investigator to investigate the 2020 election, then 14 months later fired said investigator. But not before nearly 1 million dollars was recorded being spent from taxpayer dollars
