Throughout the second half of the 20th century, and into the first decade of the 21st century, Wisconsin politics had a well-established tradition of centrist governance, with the ultimate goal of best serving the citizens of Wisconsin. State Senator Tim Cullen (D), who served in the state Senate first between 1975 and 1987, returned to the state Senate in 2010, for fear that state politics was on the brink of hyper partisanship. In his Memoir Ringside Seat: Wisconsin Politics, the 1970’s to Scott Walker Cullen, in cooperation with former high ranking members of both parties, attempts to describe the fundamental differences between the political environment of Wisconsin prior to, and following, Act 10.

While Iowa’s top corporate income tax rate of 12% is the highest in the nation, the state did not always tax corporate income at such high levels. When corporate income collections began in 1934, the tax rate was a flat 2% at all levels of corporate income. As the state economy expanded, lawmakers gradually raised the flat rate, until all corporate income was taxed at 4% in 1965. Upon raising the corporate rate again in 1967, the state moved from a flat rate to a graduated rate, which maintained the bottom rate of 4% while adding brackets at 6% for income over $25,000 and 8% over $100,000 (Iowa Dept. of Revenue, 2016). Because most businesses earn over $100,000 in revenue during a given year, the average Iowa business saw their income tax

The Iowa HUSH or Help Us Stop Hunger program is used to help stop hunger in the state of Iowa. Hunters bring a deer that they don’t want to a locker plant anywhere in Iowa, and the locker plant will cut up the meat to be distributed to many food banks around Iowa. Every time someone purchases a hunting license, one dollar is taken from the amount and is given to the HUSH program. There are many reasons why the HUSH program is great for Iowa, and it has already started to spread to different states like Pennsylvania and Texas.

Minnesota is known to be home to the Dakota. The Santee, also known as Eastern Dakota, move their villages and do different things according to the seasons. During the winter they lived off stores of supplies built up over the years. Women processed hides and gathered wood while they men were off hunting. In the spring the men went off to hunt and villagers went to sugar camps. At the sugar camps they made maple sugar and syrup. In the summer families gathered in villages while men hunted and fished and women with children cultivated crops. When the corn had been harvested they went off to harvest the wild rice from canoes. The wild rice grew in lakes so that is why they used canoes. In the fall, the men and their families went to the year’s spot for the annual hunt. All of this was essential to the Dakota’s way of life and culture.

Andrew Largeman's (Zack Braff) journey throughout "Garden State" seems to be a testament on the meaning of liberation. Going from his struggling acting life in Los Angeles to his hometown in New Jersey, where he witnesses his mother's funeral, Andrew is in the mist of confronting difficult issues. One of the biggest issues is coming to terms with his psychologist father (Ian Holm), whom he has distanced himself from for many years because he has put him on powerful antidepressants for most of his life. The reason for this I will not reveal but it has caused Andrew to feel as if his father has controlled his life in a way.

One of the more beautiful things about nature is that it is constantly changing and hold so many mysteries that we don’t understand. Each day brings new beauties and scenes that weren’t there yesterday. Having grown up on the east coast might have caused me to have a greater appreciation for all of the seasons, but one of my favorite things about season is being able to witness the changing over form one to the next. How each plant knows that the change is coming and they all magically start to prepare themselves for the new setting they’re going to create. The romantics capture the mysteries of nature in some of the most beautiful poetry. They delve deep into the possible meanings of what nature could be attempting to tell us or simple what they find beautiful about what they see in nature. One piece that stuck with me this quarter was The Snow Storm by Ralph Waldo Emerson. Winter has always been one of my favorite season since I was a little girl and have always anxiously awaited that first snow fall, dreaming of a white Christmas that year. Ralph Waldo Emerson’s The Snow Storm brought back nostalgic memories of snow filled days in my childhood and made me appreciate having actually experienced snow in real life and the beauty

Matt Lamkin’s “A Ban On Brain-Boosting Drugs is Not the Answer” first appeared in Chronicle of Higher Education in 2011. In this essay Lamkin aims to convince his reader not to deter improper conduct with threats, but to encourage students to engage in the practice of education. Lamkin tells us “If colleges believe that enhancing cognition with drugs deprives students of the true value of education, they must encourage students to adapt that value as their own” (642). Appeal to logic, consistency, and compare/contrast are techniques Lamkin skillfully uses to create a strong effective essay.
