Four factors are at work that could combine to explode Wisconsin’s already extremely high property tax burden.

Remapped 51st AD is 55% Democrat. But incumbent Republican is running hard.

This Banned Books Week and beyond, tell Wisconsin’s GOP lawmakers that we support Wisconsin students’ freedom to read, and we trust parents, teachers, and our public libraries working together — not politicians — to create the best learning environment possible for our kids.

Last week, our nation observed Banned Book Week, a time when, sadly, we need to pay attention to the number of books being sought by zealots who wish to ensure the rest of us do not read whatever we desire.

This is a historic event. It takes a lot of guts for a Republican to show his or her face in Dane County.

Dane County is the polar opposite of what Trump uses in his rallies and threatens if elected to a second term.

Donald Trump can win the Dairy State by running up the numbers in rural Wisconsin. No recent presidential candidate has achieved such a lopsided victory in rural communities like he did in 2016. But if he wants to replicate that success, he should stick to a policy contest, not a personality one.

We need intelligent, serious leaders who are committed to finding workable solutions, not more platitudes and grievances that may make you chuckle but do nothing to solve problems. For Wisconsin agriculture, Trump was bad enough the first time.

As we grapple with skyrocketing inflation, depleting savings accounts, soaring interest rates, and wages unable to keep pace with the financial ruins the Biden-Harris agenda has left us in, Tim Walz is right- we cannot afford four more years of Democrat failed policies.

It’s no secret that Donald Trump’s botched response to the pandemic hurt our economy. Thanks to Vice President Harris’ leadership, more Wisconsinites have jobs and there’s more money in our pockets. But many families still need more support.

Part of Hovde’s consistent oversimplification could be due to him just being an ineloquent speaker, but when it comes to political campaigns, a single sound bite can make or break.

Rothman and the Board of Regents must overcome skepticism in the state Capitol, where a recent analysis by the Legislative Fiscal Bureau showed the Universities of Wisconsin employed about 6,000 more people in the 2022-23 academic year than it did in 1992-93. During the same period, overall enrollment climbed only slightly, from about 160,000 in 1992-93 to 163,589 expected this fall.

‘By-right development’ means simpler approval for projects that fit zoning codes.
