This year marks the 40th anniversary of the sister-state relationship between Wisconsin and Taiwan. Since that partnership was established in 1986, the relationship has grown steadily through trade, agriculture, technology, education, investment, and people-to-people exchanges. Four decades later, those ties matter more than ever.
Any requester forced to wait on a public records response is waiting for something the law already says is theirs.
I’ve heard for years from Republicans that Tiffany is a good guy. But now I know it for sure.
Writing a weekly column is always a snapshot in time. Things can and do happen to advance the story. Here are some business briefs and follow-ups to recent “Inside Wisconsin” columns.

Donald Trump has done everything he can to ruin, defame, and undermine this institution.
WEDC has signed an agreement with a French economic development agency aimed at boosting collaboration on shared key sectors, including manufacturing, energy, health sciences, agriculture and food. Gov. Tony Evers yesterday announced the Wisconsin Economic Development Corp. has joined a
