GET ME REWRITE!! Robin Vos might as well parade around in Klan robes and hood after Supreme Court decision on affirmative action

 


Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, 6/30/2023

We are reviewing the decision and will introduce legislation to correct the discriminatory laws on the books and pass repeals in the fall," Vos, a Republican of Rochester, tweeted Thursday.

Vos was referring to the Minority Undergraduate Retention Grant program, which provides scholarships ranging from $250 to $2,500 to Black, Native American, Hispanic or Southeast Asian students to attend technical colleges, private nonprofit colleges and tribal colleges.

Two-thirds of the thirty large cities and towns (over 2,000 people) in Wyoming added residents between July 1, 2021 and July 1, 2022 when the largest cities, Cheyenne and Casper, both lost population, according to population estimates released by the U.S. Census Bureau. These new estimates provide a look at how the population has changed in each of Wyoming’s incorporated communities since the 2020 Census.

Inforum, 12/22/2022
North Dakota's 2021 population estimate was 774,948, which was down 4,146 from the 2020 census. The decrease was attributed to people moving away from the state. 
Estimates are reported each year on July 1, while the official 10-year census is on April 1 in years ending with zero. 
"Today's release from the Census Bureau shows the rate of out-migration declining since 2020, when the pandemic negatively impacted the state," said Kevin Iverson, state data center manager at the North Dakota Department of Commerce.

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, Sioux Falls and Rapid City lead the way in population growth in South Dakota since 2020

Dakota News Now, 6/22/2023
A trend of surging domestic migration to South Dakota that began during the COVID-19 pandemic could put the state’s total population above 1 million residents as early as 2030. 
That growth pattern runs counter to other Midwestern states and highlights the fact that more people are moving to South Dakota than leaving, and that women in the Mount Rushmore State are giving birth at a greater rate than the national average.

Day 971 of GOP election denier hysteria (Trump Big Lie Clown Show Circus, Honest Elections Project Newspeak edition)

Starring Jason Snead
Executive director of Honest Elections Project

Headline:  Washington Post, 6/23/2023
Jason Snead, the executive director of the conservative Honest Elections Project, said he had hoped the Supreme Court would embrace the independent state legislature theory but saw Tuesday’s ruling in a positive light. The decision will give conservatives a chance to get federal judges to review state court decisions on election policies that they believe are wrong, he said.

Aftermath: Day 319 of shuttered Michael Gableman 2020 election review of Trump Big Lie clown show circus

 
Headline:  Wisconsin State Journal, 6/29/2023
ichael Gableman, the former state Supreme Court justice whose review of the 2020 Wisconsin presidential election was widely panned, is slated to testify as an expert witness for a former Donald Trump attorney who could lose his law license over his efforts to help the former president overturn the 2020 election. 
Gableman was to testify for attorney John Eastman at his California state bar hearing Wednesday, but the hearing was postponed until Thursday morning. The state lawyers association is seeking to have Eastman disbarred for advancing the legal theory that then-Vice President Mike Pence had the power to unilaterally reject Electoral College votes from several states, including Wisconsin, in which Eastman falsely claimed that there was “massive evidence” of fraud.

Waukesha County Wisconsin not a safe space for LBGTQ+

 
Headline:  Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, 6/28/2023

Transphobic, chickenshit school board members put the issue on a summer agenda.
Students in the Mukwonago School District will be required to use restroom and locker room facilities consistent with the sex they were assigned at birth, under a policy unanimously approved by the school board June 26. 
Board members passed the policy with less than five minutes' discussion. 
Public comment on the issue was also brief, as only two people spoke on the issue, one for and one against. D 
istrict residents had voiced concerns about bathroom usage in the district at the board's May 22 meeting, according to a message to parents from Mukwonago School Board President Dale Porter.

Michigan Upper Peninsula population crisis in Ontonagon County

 
Ontonagon County has lost 53% of its population since its 1920 peak of 12,428.  It has fewer residents now than it did in 1900.  Copper mining brought the first wave of population growth to this area.

Source:  Wikipedia



Bridge Michigan, 6/27/2023
In Ontonagon, a Lake Superior shore village of about 1,500 and the surrounding county of the same name, there are now five funerals for every birth. Between 2010 and 2020, the county lost 14 percent of its population, as jobs dried up and people — especially the young — moved away. 
“They go to college and there’s no reason to come back unless they want to work at the school, the hospital or the bank,” Domitrovich said. 
“When I was growing up (in the 1990s), there were no parking spaces along Main Street Friday through Sunday,” Domitrovich recalled. “Now, Saturday night, you can roll a bowling ball down Main Street.”
