Today’s censorship war is a cat-and-mouse game like the one CBS engaged in with the Smothers Brothers all those years ago—free speech advocates figuring out how they can evade the network censors, sometimes succeeding, sometimes failing, until of course they are fired. In today’s America, it’s the constitution that is in danger of being fired.
City of Madison officials should use the $22 million budget deficit to examine efficiencies
Health care systems have found a way to generate bigger profits by skimming dollars from a drug discount program designed to help indigent or uninsured patients.
The Sauk County Board is considering selling its Medicare rated five-star county nursing home to a nonprofit that it curiously will not name.
Explore regional efficiencies in providing emergency services.
54% of respondents in UW-Madison survey report health care as quite or an extremely big problem for Wisconsin; 69% feel this way about health care being a problem for the country.
We have never had to place basic goodness on the must-have list of characteristics when choosing our national candidates, but since 2016 this has been a requirement.
Madison will become a big city, but not a very good one, if its leaders do not rethink their approaches to growth.
If Questions 1 and 2 pass it would upend our state’s constitution and tie the hands of either Evers or any future governor as they respond in times of emergency. When the next crisis occurs, Wisconsin’s leaders will keep the dreams of small business owners like mine alive through swift, executive action for the good of our state.
This Fed, under Powell’s leadership, has virtually been wrong on every single Fed move; always too late to loosen, too late to tighten, and whipsawing the economy up and down at their own whim.
The work undertaken by the U.S. House Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party stands as a testament to progress and consensus that can be built in Washington around the very real threat we face from China.
In just one year, the new progressive majority has been doing exactly what voters across the Badger State elected them to do: hear cases where our constitutional rights and freedoms are at stake and ensure those rights and freedoms are protected.
Although the Republican leaders were perfectly fine with former Gov. Scott Walker dispensing federal funds, they didn’t like Tony Evers having that same power, especially when federal funds directed at COVID relief, and later, the sweeping infrastructure act, significantly increased Wisconsin’s share of one-time federal aid.
Republicans in the gerrymandered Legislature are attempting a devious power play.
Taking the rebate could cost you dearly.
The concept of Food Sovereignty for Native Communities means the right to choose, cultivate and preserve food practices.
The biggest threat is a malady that plagues many local communities around the state. It’s called: Lazyclerkitis.
Even after subtracting 2020, the last year of the Trump presidency that was devastated by the onset of COVID-19, the economic performance for GNP growth during his first three years in office from 2017 to 2019 were below that of President Biden’s tenure and far below that of several other presidents like Lyndon Johnson, John F. Kennedy and Bill Clinton.
Here in Wisconsin, the ruling party manipulated voting districts to stay in charge even after losing favor with voters, fashioning the nation’s most politically biased state legislative district maps.
Madison’s mayor is listing proposed cuts if the anticipated referendum to increase spending limits in perpetuity by $22 million is defeated on November 5. But those cuts do NOT include the $1.1 million taxpayers spend on the Police Civilian Oversight Board, a do-nothing agency created to solve a non-existent problem.
