We can and must ensure that Wisconsin citizens feel safe and those who intentionally victimize others are held accountable. Even in a divided political environment, surely we can all find agreement on that.
Milwaukee and Racine data – the fairer comparison – shows private choice students outperform public school students in 32 of 36 grade-level comparisons.
Many things can stymie development, but there are pathways to yes.
Trump’s agenda envisions deregulation, higher tariffs, tax cuts and allowing banks to back projects with cryptocurrency. Meanwhile, Harris is touting her “pragmatist” and “capitalist” credentials and her intent to invest in bio-manufacturing, aerospace, AI and clean energy.
We took extra time this week to remember the 1,200 innocent lives that were taken last year in the attack on Israel. May their memories be a blessing to their loved ones.
Following reported fundraising numbers, Republicans have improved their chances of keeping the majority in the Assembly. In the Senate, Democrats seem to have the edge in some key races.
The data show they are lying about crime, the economy and health insurance coverage.
For a political party that positions itself as the saviors of American democracy, Democrats sure don’t seem to trust it all that much.

As a union leader, I see the importance of electing candidates who will protect the interests of workers.
Even though history, economics and common sense exist, presidential hopeful, Kamala Harris, has never heard of any of them. In the latest entry of her ongoing series, “How To Destroy An Economy,” she has reconfirmed that she is absolutely clueless as to how an economy grows and creates wealth.
Legislation creates community reentry centers to provide prisoners with flexible services designed to lessen recidivism.
Elected on a partisan ticket, expect a partisan bias.
