What led me to admire this soft-spoken prince of a man was his under-the-radar determination to give kids, especially those without a leg up, a boost in their young lives. It wasn’t necessarily in his job description, but it was something he decided was the right thing to do.
Tim Cullen set a strong example others should follow.
To remember Janesville native Tim Cullen is to remember what he did for his beloved Janesville and the state of Wisconsin.
Congress should revert to pre-pandemic spending, adjusted for population growth and inflation.
Another big Wisconsin Supreme Court race, a new police chief for Madison, and city council elections.
Nobody had a bigger impact on our state than Donald Trump.
Regardless of what happens in 2025, it’s Wisconsin, so you know it won’t be boring.
