As we welcome students from all walks of life, I am reminded that they are not just preparing for Wisconsin’s future. They will help create it. And that gives me great optimism about what lies ahead.

Research keeps on reinforcing the importance of family structure, so why aren’t we using the metric?

Tom Nelson, whose real job is county executive of Outagamie County, has put together what he calls the “people’s history” of the Packers from the heyday of Curly Lambeau to today’s new leadership and all the ups and downs in the many years in between.

Giving government more power will worsen young people’s woes.

The court heard oral arguments in two challenges to Wisconsin’s congressional map, including one that claims the lines amount to an unconstitutional partisan gerrymander.

Elections should be decided by voters, not by legislators drawing districts into boundaries to ensure incumbents from both parties will prevail.

Trump changed the agency’s ideological direction, but nine failed audits later, there’s no telling where the money went.
