Six Madison-area startup companies will compete later this month for the chance to meet with Silicon Valley venture capital firms in the fall. This year’s Pressure Chamber competition, hosted by the Greater Madison Chamber of Commerce, is taking place Aug.

The presidential race in Wisconsin remained tight in the latest Marquette University Law School Poll, though enthusiasm has spiked among Dems with Kamala Harris now the party’s nominee.

54% of respondents in UW-Madison survey report health care as quite or an extremely big problem for Wisconsin; 69% feel this way about health care being a problem for the country.

We have never had to place basic goodness on the must-have list of characteristics when choosing our national candidates, but since 2016 this has been a requirement.

Madison will become a big city, but not a very good one, if its leaders do not rethink their approaches to growth.

If Questions 1 and 2 pass it would upend our state’s constitution and tie the hands of either Evers or any future governor as they respond in times of emergency. When the next crisis occurs, Wisconsin’s leaders will keep the dreams of small business owners like mine alive through swift, executive action for the good of our state.

This Fed, under Powell’s leadership, has virtually been wrong on every single Fed move; always too late to loosen, too late to tighten, and whipsawing the economy up and down at their own whim.

In just one year, the new progressive majority has been doing exactly what voters across the Badger State elected them to do: hear cases where our constitutional rights and freedoms are at stake and ensure those rights and freedoms are protected.

Although the Republican leaders were perfectly fine with former Gov. Scott Walker dispensing federal funds, they didn’t like Tony Evers having that same power, especially when federal funds directed at COVID relief, and later, the sweeping infrastructure act, significantly increased Wisconsin’s share of one-time federal aid.

Republicans in the gerrymandered Legislature are attempting a devious power play.
