Today, we mark the passing of Dan Bice, a one-of-a-kind journalist who never flinched, never coasted, and never let powerful people get comfortable.
For decades at the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, he asked the questions others wouldn’t, chased facts others missed, and held a bright, unrelenting light on public life in Wisconsin. You didn’t have to agree with him to respect him, but if he was calling, you knew it was time to get your facts straight.
His work made our institutions stronger, our politics sharper, and most importantly, our community more informed. That kind of fearless accountability doesn’t come around often, and is exactly what is needed now more than ever in today’s political hurricane.
I send my condolences to his loved ones. Let us always remember his fighting spirit as we push forward for our residents every day.
