For too long, the stigma associated with cannabis has prevented Wisconsin legislators from doing the right thing. The time to change that is now.
The City of Milwaukee is willing to pay a new marketing and communications officer for The Hop, its little-used $128 million streetcar, up to $108,000 per year plus benefits.
Our parks are asked to absorb cuts that erode the very assets that knit this county together.
The only poll that matters for the future of President Donald Trump’s plans is the one taken next November.
The political world is in a tizzy over Donald Trump’s suggestion that he might figure out a way to run for president for a third term, the 22nd Amendment to the Constitution notwithstanding.
It’s Halloween, so I thought I’d tell the scariest story I could come up with. The 22nd Amendment is pretty clear: “No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice.” And yet there’s no reason to think that’ll stop Donald Trump from seeking a third term.
Capt. Dylan Blaha and Staff Sgt. Demi Palecek correctly refused a federal order to deploy in Chicago.
The wreckage looks like a crime scene, with President Donald Trump’s thumbprints on it. He didn’t ask or tell people, he just destroyed a sacred structure that sang of American history. Vintage Trump.
It’s not too much to ask that voters prove their legal status, just like it’s not too much to ask that voters show photo ID at the polls to verify their identity. It is too much to ask that the entire state voter registry be audited over a matter of weeks.
Timing couldn’t have been worse for a bipartisan group of state legislators who want to give total control over online sports betting in Wisconsin to the native tribes who run casino sports books.
Our environment in Wisconsin is conducive to slow tourism.
Every line of this budget reflects the values that have made Dane County strong: collaboration, accountability and care for one another.
As the Trump administration continues to take a jackhammer to the Constitution, we see more and more editorials calling for moderates on both sides to come together. History shows this is not how major problems are solved in this country.
These kids, their parents, and onlookers witnessed city streets become a stage for a grotesque display of federal overreach, racial profiling, and outright abuse.
Cannabis is far less harmful and poses fewer negative side effects than most prescription drugs – especially opiate-based painkillers – and our state’s residents should also have the choice to decide which health care options work best for them.
Gail’s Law is named in honor of patient advocate Gail Zeamer, a brave Wisconsin woman whose own battle with breast cancer inspired her to fight for others.
We are well on the way to having, at least, two separate school systems — and taxpayers are on the hook for both.
Voters elect hacks like Underly who do nothing. The grooming coverup is one result.
Every day, Tony Evers and Tammy Baldwin take to social media to spell out the reason for the government shutdown. Republicans won’t extend the affordable care tax credits – which means the premiums on Obamacare plans will go up. Here’s what they don’t want you to know.
Support your local food pantries and food banks to help bridge this gap. More critically, we all need to advocate for restored federal funding to SNAP. Only federal support can provide the long-term solution.
