It was nice to see two guys disagreeing agreeably.

Tim Walz’s rise is about more than being an endearing Midwestern dad. There’s policy achievements and a sense of urgency at the core of his ascent, and that’s exactly what Democrats need right now.

In November, a referendum will ask whether “only” citizens should have the right to vote. … This referendum, framed as a matter of legal clarity, is a smokescreen for an exclusionary agenda that seeks to marginalize already vulnerable populations.

Perhaps not trusting the will of the fickle American voter, Democrats have increasingly looked to noncitizens to give themselves a permanent majority. It’s no coincidence that the “pathway to citizenship” they support for the untold millions of illegal immigrants allowed into the country under the Biden-Harris also includes a “pathway to voting.” They want a new electoral base.

What’s been going on these past several months, mostly flying beneath the radar, are massive campaigns to purge voter rolls and new legislation in several states to hold down the vote of any population segment that they suspect might vote against them.

Why the two presidential candidates don’t listen to self-insured managers of health care is a mystery. The reality, though, is that politicians listen to consultants and wonks who have never paid a health care bill for a group of workers.

Four factors are at work that could combine to explode Wisconsin’s already extremely high property tax burden.

Remapped 51st AD is 55% Democrat. But incumbent Republican is running hard.

This Banned Books Week and beyond, tell Wisconsin’s GOP lawmakers that we support Wisconsin students’ freedom to read, and we trust parents, teachers, and our public libraries working together — not politicians — to create the best learning environment possible for our kids.

Last week, our nation observed Banned Book Week, a time when, sadly, we need to pay attention to the number of books being sought by zealots who wish to ensure the rest of us do not read whatever we desire.

This is a historic event. It takes a lot of guts for a Republican to show his or her face in Dane County.

Dane County is the polar opposite of what Trump uses in his rallies and threatens if elected to a second term.

Donald Trump can win the Dairy State by running up the numbers in rural Wisconsin. No recent presidential candidate has achieved such a lopsided victory in rural communities like he did in 2016. But if he wants to replicate that success, he should stick to a policy contest, not a personality one.

We need intelligent, serious leaders who are committed to finding workable solutions, not more platitudes and grievances that may make you chuckle but do nothing to solve problems. For Wisconsin agriculture, Trump was bad enough the first time.

As we grapple with skyrocketing inflation, depleting savings accounts, soaring interest rates, and wages unable to keep pace with the financial ruins the Biden-Harris agenda has left us in, Tim Walz is right- we cannot afford four more years of Democrat failed policies.

It’s no secret that Donald Trump’s botched response to the pandemic hurt our economy. Thanks to Vice President Harris’ leadership, more Wisconsinites have jobs and there’s more money in our pockets. But many families still need more support.

Part of Hovde’s consistent oversimplification could be due to him just being an ineloquent speaker, but when it comes to political campaigns, a single sound bite can make or break.

Rothman and the Board of Regents must overcome skepticism in the state Capitol, where a recent analysis by the Legislative Fiscal Bureau showed the Universities of Wisconsin employed about 6,000 more people in the 2022-23 academic year than it did in 1992-93. During the same period, overall enrollment climbed only slightly, from about 160,000 in 1992-93 to 163,589 expected this fall.

‘By-right development’ means simpler approval for projects that fit zoning codes.

Ron San Felippo has homes in East Troy and Florida while serving on commission and also voting in elections as city resident.
