Bill to license mid-level providers could make its biggest splash in underserved parts of state — and open up opportunities for young people.

The bottom-line is that this is a good deal for Wisconsin. We are not “giving rich guys money”. Our investments in our facility maintain the income and sales tax revenues that result from a team using the stadium that we own as taxpayers. In the end, the state of Wisconsin could generate approximately $330 million in additional revenue that would not exist without the team’s presence.

Republican Everett Dirksen served senate minority leader from 1959 until his death in 1969. What differentiates Dirksen from today’s harsh, unprincipled and highly disruptive minority faction of the House Republican membership is that Dirksen placed patriotism over partisanship.

A great way to call out the nonsense of the left is to ask questions. Here is a list of some they should be required to answer.

Don’t let the little things slide. That was a key message that Tucker Carlson shared with Wisconsin conservatives during an event hosted by the MacIver Institute earlier this month.

There is no conflict in acknowledging that both Israelis and Palestinians have legitimate grievances and both sides have bad actors who undermine these claims.

You have to pay the price for what you have done. It’s time that you stopped playing with the lives of innocent Palestinians, who are not Hamas. You should all leave Gaza, move to a bunker where nobody can find you.

Wisconsin’s Congressional Delegation — both Democrats and Republicans — need to come together to pass Biden’s emergency funding request for child care as soon as possible. Providers and parents simply cannot afford to wait.

Life in the idyllic city of Wauwatosa must be free from worry about municipal taxes and spending, the condition of city streets, crime or any other challenges facing communities across Wisconsin and the nation to be able to focus their attention on holiday decorations.

In new Speaker Mike Johnson the Democrats may be dealing with a much stronger and smarter opponent than they had in Kevin McCarthy. Johnson’s opening moves seem masterful.

Milwaukee is losing people due to declining birthrates and people leaving. Without the influx of immigrants, the metro’s population would have shrunk considerably.

It’s time to think boldly about what Milwaukee should look like decades to come. The removal of 794 will be a resounding success for downtown.
