Meeting in Chippewa Valley Tech’s Energy Education Center, chancellors or presidents from UW-Eau Claire, UW-River Falls, UW-Stout, Northwood Technical College and CVTC talked about how they cooperate among themselves to produce students who contribute to western Wisconsin’s economy – often working with business and industry along the way.
The NFL is a billion dollar industry. So, why is the state kicking in $2 million in taxpayer money to help pay for their party?
March has come and gone, as has the hope that our national leaders would actually reflect on COVID, including what we did right and wrong. And America, once considered an international leader on public health, has slipped down a few more notches.
The SCOTUS order in Noem v. Abrego Garcia
I was taught to never be silent in the face of injustice. That remains the lesson of the Holocaust.
Underly’s game of chicken with President Trump may earn applause from progressive activists, but it’s reckless.
A 167-year-old statute requires trans people to publish their old and new names in a newspaper, worrying families and advocates as President Donald Trump attacks transgender rights.
Earth Day offers us a chance to celebrate the planet we call home and recommit to leaving a better world for generations to come.

Wisconsin can either cling to an outdated energy model built on pollution, price volatility, and energy dollars sent out of state, or we can invest in a clean, resilient future powered by homegrown energy.
The environmental movement cut its teeth by saying “no” to the problem of pollution. The time has come to build on this legacy and say “yes” to solutions: “yes” to clean energy, “yes” to thriving Wisconsin communities, and “yes” to a brighter future.
Milwaukee’s story is one of resilience and reinvention. From the Ecofactory’s clean energy innovations to workforce programs rooted in equity, this city continues to show how environmental progress and economic opportunity can go hand in hand. Earth Day reminds us of what’s at stake – but Milwaukee reminds us of what’s possible.
