For every dollar state taxpayers send to Madison, 67¢ goes to local governments, schools, and property taxpayers, and not to running state agencies and programs. "This is a 'silver bullet' that explains much about public finance in Wisconsin and why government here is different from most states," observes Todd A. Berry, head of the research team at the nonpartisan Wisconsin Taxpayers Alliance (WISTAX). "And," he adds, "it explains much of what is behind ongoing state fiscal challenges and the recurring tension that exists among state leaders, local officials, and taxpayers."

The controversy over the application of the rod to the backside of a child for purposes of correction is generally increasing in America. At least that is my observation. How thankful I am, and we ought to be, that every state in America at present protects the parent's right to so raise their children. Many who do apply the rod no doubt discipline in such a manner due to how they were raised or find it a matter of necessity due to observation and common sense. Others do so based on their adherence to Biblical teaching regarding the use of the rod. "He that spareth the rod hateth his son: but he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes." Proverbs 13:24
