WASHINGTON – U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.), chairman of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, sent a letter Wednesday to Attorney General William Barr and Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Director Christopher Wray seeking answers to long-outstanding questions highlighted in a recently refiled lawsuit by investigative journalist Sharyl Attkisson.

Around the time of the compromise, Ms. Attkisson was breaking stories on the Department of Justice’s “Operation Fast and Furious” in 2011 and reported on

Dem state Sen. Dave Hansen announced today that he will not seek reelection this fall. Hansen 72, has regularly outperformed the top of the ticket since he was first elected to the Green Bay-area district in 2000, and his retirement improves GOP chances of winning the seat. Republicans head into the fall elections with a 19-14 majority. Hansen won reelection in 2016 with 51.3 percent of the vote even as Donald Trump beat Hillary Clinton by more than 10 points in the district. Trump took the seat with 52.1 percent of the vote. Republican Eric Wimberger, who lost to Hansen
WAUSAU – Gov. Tony Evers today sent a letter to Republicans and Democrats in the Legislature assigning legislative homework and asking the Legislature to pass several key pieces of legislation before adjourning this year. “I am proud of the work we did last year to work across the aisle on the pressing issues facing our state from cutting taxes for middle-class families to investing in our kids and schools to fixing our roads and bridges, but there is still much work we have yet to do this session,” Gov. Evers said. “Today I’m asking the Legislature to get to work

The column below reflects the views of the authors, and these opinions are neither endorsed nor supported by WisOpinion.com. After over a year of traveling around the state and hearing from folks across Wisconsin about clean water, we are proud of the recommendations we released as a result of the hard work of the Speaker’s Task Force on Water Quality. As we planned our 14 public hearings around the state, we took care to complete a comprehensive tour that highlighted the geologic variability and contamination issues throughout our state and gave the opportunity to everyone to have their voices heard.
Those of us who campaigned for Tony Evers for governor based on his environmental commitment can be happy with his first year in office. I’m optimistic that at the end of next year, we’ll be even happier.
Evers’ first year in office has been about the least eventful in recent gubernatorial history.
