The baffling refusal by the Wisconsin GOP-led legislature to expand Medicaid has bedeviled Wisconsin since 2014. It’s the epitome of fiscal irresponsibility and wrong-headedness, defying both common sense and math.
Few candidates actually discuss what it is they’ll do about issues the voters care about.
The unprecedented and obscenely high amount of political money being raised and spent in Wisconsin Supreme Court elections is a fairly new and horrific development in our state. It wasn’t always this way here and it cannot and should not continue.
In addition to lending his campaign $8 million from his own fortune, the watchdog organization notes, Hovde has collected $60,000 from campaign donors with California ties.
Menthol cigarettes disproportionately harm Black Americans, contributing to heart and respiratory related health inequities.
For the utilities, destroying your ability to finance solar is their way of guaranteeing a return on investment and charging you more for solar than their standard rate, and also of maintaining a monopoly on energy in their territory. This is why it’s so important that the PSC establish a fixed ratio of 1:1 for reimbursement of solar electricity to property owners for their surplus electricity delivered to the power plant.
From the Northwoods to the state line and the Mississippi River to Lake Michigan, Wisconsin’s embrace of solar, wind and energy storage projects signifies a pivotal stride toward energy resilience and a cleaner future.
Rather than acting dismissively of the protesters or reacting angrily to their message, we should listen, as they have something very important to say.
Richard Nixon’s legacy is substantial. His achievements were historic, and he surmounted great obstacles to political victory, only to destroy himself.
The group Free & Just is running a new ad in Wisconsin’s 3rd CD and two other House seats warning an abortion case before the U.S. Supreme Court could open the door to “political interests” interfering with doctors’ ability to do their jobs.
Katsma, who turned 66 on Tuesday, worked 34 years at a community bank before his election to the Assembly in 2014. He was a prominent voice in the GOP push to cut taxes while serving on the Joint Finance Committee, where he served as vice-chair this session.
This year, the American Bar Association has chosen the theme “The Voices of Democracy,” which aligns with the foundational principles of our legal system and the essence of our nation’s democratic ethos.
Suit by Gov. Evers shows Wisconsin violating separation-of-powers doctrine.
Evers’ veto unfortunately is in line with rising trend of schools refusing traditional short recruiting talks.
Rep. Mark Pocan balances opposition to the war and support for Biden.
Mike Gallagher left Congress Saturday as a traditional Republican after his pivotal vote to support Ukraine against Vladimir Putin. He was a hawk during his eight years in Washington, in contrast to the rest of the Wisconsin GOP delegation that has gone soft on Putin.
The hard-right Freedom Caucus may have finally been put in its place and SCOTUS might reject an extreme state anti-abortion law while unrealistic hard-left ideas about how to fight crime are being ended in places that once embraced them, DEI may be improved through a needed pushback, and even the very heart of hard-left media may be undergoing a change back toward fairness. It’s springtime for moderation.
The kind of transformation underway in Wisconsin and elsewhere today has a chance to alter the carbon-based footprint of the industry through new fuels, new engines and new ways to move people and cargo through airports.
This week’s Solar for All Announcement expands access for solar, creates options for low- and moderate-income families in Wisconsin
Residents facing environmental contamination, economic disinvestment, racial discrimination, and political marginalization for organizing to save their families from harm, have to this day continue to face these same injustices they faced when they first exposed the lead in water crisis.
