It’s not too much to ask that voters prove their legal status, just like it’s not too much to ask that voters show photo ID at the polls to verify their identity. It is too much to ask that the entire state voter registry be audited over a matter of weeks.
Timing couldn’t have been worse for a bipartisan group of state legislators who want to give total control over online sports betting in Wisconsin to the native tribes who run casino sports books.
Our environment in Wisconsin is conducive to slow tourism.
Every line of this budget reflects the values that have made Dane County strong: collaboration, accountability and care for one another.
As the Trump administration continues to take a jackhammer to the Constitution, we see more and more editorials calling for moderates on both sides to come together. History shows this is not how major problems are solved in this country.
These kids, their parents, and onlookers witnessed city streets become a stage for a grotesque display of federal overreach, racial profiling, and outright abuse.
Cannabis is far less harmful and poses fewer negative side effects than most prescription drugs – especially opiate-based painkillers – and our state’s residents should also have the choice to decide which health care options work best for them.

Democrats can’t just rely on big margins in favorable areas to turn this country around.
People are still debating whether the millions who marched in rural and urban America, the 20,000 here in Madison and the thousands of others in Dane County communities did any good to change the way Donald Trump and the Republicans are governing.
Experts argue it will take a Democrat like Tony Evers to win the state.
Wisconsin has the tools, data and public accountability mechanisms necessary to balance wolf conservation with the protection of livestock and human safety.
As families across Wisconsin and the nation prepare for open enrollment, they’re discovering that their monthly health insurance premiums have skyrocketed.
The undeniable tangible human costs of these abstract political strategies is about to become abundantly clear.
The incredible uprising against Trump’s first eight months in office constitutes what looks like the start of a political movement, like a juggernaut.
