Rural communities are simply not yet equipped to make decisions on proposals like these. Without legal guardrails, rural communities are put at a huge disadvantage when these developments are proposed.
When people first hear about a transmission project, the natural questions are: Why do we need it? And is it safe? We can answer both.
Did Donald Trump learn his chaotic methods from Wisconsin’s own infamous Joe McCarthy?
At the White House, Trump told reporters that the amount of fraudulent spending the task force could recover could help address a trillion-dollar national deficit and significantly reduce taxes.
America’s big failing right now is entrusting our country’s future to people who never were taught the folly of compounding errors, who’ve never had to grow the hell up.
Nationwide protest against Trump’s march toward authoritarianism Saturday could be the largest of its kind in the history of this country.
The program could be endangered although some legislators and Gov. Evers still think action can be done. Some legislators believe a compromise can be reached and voted on when they return to session in April.
Wisconsin environmentalists wouldn’t compromise, so the state’s premiere conservation program, the Stewardship Fund, will die this summer. It’s an old, sad story and it’s one reason that green policies, once widely popular and bipartisan, are now on the ropes.

The proliferation of women in business, government and other sectors of society has been a driver of as well as reflection of extraordinary human advancement
This is not a legally meritorious challenge. Birthright citizenship has been constitutionally grounded for more than 150 years. It is not a serious policy debate. Rather, it is a symptom of how far the country has drifted from basic principles of equality and belonging.
Over 40% of first-year students already start as sophomores at UW-Madison.
This law will not affect whether more or fewer Wisconsinites espouse antisemitic views or boldly oppose this prejudice.
In a move that should alarm every Wisconsin resident who values free speech, academic freedom, and equal protection under the law, the Wisconsin legislature recently passed a bill that would enshrine the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance definition of antisemitism into law.
Trump and congressional Republicans said there was no money for the expired Affordable Care Act tax credits. But the money spent and requested for the costly and senseless Iran War would do so, guns vs. butter.
County supervisors are clueless that they are being used as patsies in a coordinated scheme by a taxpayer-funded lobbying machine, one that exists not to represent the public, but to represent government itself.
