The WisOpinion Insiders, Chvala and Jensen, take an early look at the race for the Wisconsin attorney general. Sponsored by the Wisconsin Counties Association and the Tommy G. Thompson Center on Public leadership.
Trump and Republicans seek 80/20 issues to run on. Should Wisconsin Democrats do the same?
Under the Neylon/Nass proposed legislation, every chapter of Wisconsin’s administrative code would automatically expire every seven years unless deliberately re-adopted through a transparent process.
To effectuate change, elected officials need meaningful access to jails and prisons. How can we do our jobs as legislators when we can’t see the results of our actions?
Botched report cards, lowered standards, licensing and finance scandals erode faith in DPI.
The system, as it currently exists, lacks the transparency families deserve.
Instead of union-busting, the Board should see union organizing as a gift of collective problem-solving.
The Wisconsin Institute for Law & Liberty and the Center for Individual Rights are filing a lawsuit against the federal government to ensure that all Americans are treated equally.
President Donald Trump’s new regime at the beloved center decreed the National Symphony Orchestra must stand and play the national anthem before every concert.
On Veterans Day last week, former President Barack Obama showed how presidents of the United States once acted.
Even in eras of bitter division, such as the Civil War, the dangerousness of McCarthyism, or during violent Vietnam protests, leaders did not weaponize the language of treason against Congress itself. Trump’s rhetoric today is not politics as usual. Far from it.
As highway widening gets unceremoniously underway and the latest streetcar debate goes in another circle, the bus system and looming cuts to key routes seems left behind.
Its performance against its statewide peers is far too low, but the bitter circumstances of Milwaukee schooling mean it is many children’s best available option.
Republican candidates for governor are joining politicians across the country who are increasingly skeptical of tenure guarantees for professors.
To meet its obligation to a troubled pluralistic republic, UW-Madison needs more free speech and diversity of views among its faculty.
As Congress sat idle, hardworking Americans faced rising health care costs, farmers battled dangerous market instability, and millions may lose necessary food assistance.
Maybe someday he’ll admit that he was wrong to support Trump. I hope so, because if he doesn’t admit that, his support for the worst president in American history will, at least in my book, overshadow everything else he ever accomplished.
In a rather stunning development, the city of Mequon is under siege by a burglary ring…from South America.
Before the OBBB lands with full weight, Milwaukee must take the steps it still can.
It’s been said the best teachers can be judged by the success of those they mentor. In the case of Nobel Prize winner James D. Watson, who died this month at 97, a prime example is UW-Madison molecular biologist and biochemist Richard Burgess.
