What are we paying the school board to do if they cannot manage a task, that while very important and would take time, at the end of the day should not be so overwhelming they needed to retreat by tossing a load of cash to a third party?
Asheville and next-door Haywood County was my home for 30 years.
Mink pelt output is shrinking, but new markets may be on the rise.
The WisOpinion Insiders, Chvala and Jensen, take a look at the Wisconsin’s Native American tribes’ recent push to provide medical marijuana. Sponsored by the Wisconsin Counties Association and the Tommy G. Thompson Center on Public Leadership.
U.S. Sen. J.D. Vance gave the greatest vice presidential debate performance in American history. By the end, it seemed that even Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz was impressed by his opponent.
They say vice presidential debates don’t move the needle. But J.D. Vance took some of the rough edges off the Republican ticket.
He admits there’s no way to prove it, but he nevertheless cast doubt on whether the Democratic candidate for president worked as a teenager for the giant fast food chain.
There’s a disturbing trend in modern American politics in which individuals or organizations or political parties disappointed by election outcomes believe the will of the people is discardable. Find a process flaw. Claim unproven fraud. Look for a friendly judge.
People worry about crime all the time, regardless of what the statistics tell us. In part that’s due to the fact that crime is over-reported. But in part it’s a justified concern because of conditions in their immediate neighborhood.
Vice President Kamala Harris recently announced an ambitious initiative aimed at rejuvenating the manufacturing sector across America. With an eye on states like Wisconsin, her plan is a bold move that could reshape our economic landscape.
Wisconsin’s economy is known beyond its borders for some good things – a diverse agricultural economy, growing technology sectors and statewide tourism appeal – but the brightest marquee is manufacturing. Keeping that light shining means adjusting to change faster than competitors at home and abroad.
Consultants’ figures prove critics right as state’s largest district continues to shrink.
In Sauk County, the public was given less information about the sale of the home for 48 Sauk County residents than it was about replacing a damaged squad car.
It is already illegal for someone who is not a citizen to vote, and instances of noncitizens attempting to vote are extremely rare.
Voter eligibility laws uphold election integrity in Wisconsin.
Pharmacy benefit managers extract money from the health care system but too often fail to deliver any value.
Wisconsin’s Ron Johnson shined a spotlight on the unholy alliance between the state and corporate America, and its role in creating the health crisis.
We are talking about clear and direct issues that impact everyday Americans in every way, and the Harris-Walz team refuses to give clear answers, largely because they know the truth will not sit well with the American people.
You always worry about an October surprise. But Donald Trump is immune from this sort of thing. … Not so for Kamala Harris. She’s still subject to the rules of political gravity.
Five VP debate takeaways.
