Let’s start with how the state shorts the city on shared revenue funds.
The WisOpinion Insiders, Chvala and Jensen, look at the upcoming Wisconsin primary and the likely rematch of former President Donald Trump with President Joe Biden. Sponsored by the Wisconsin Counties Association and the Tommy G. Thompson Center on Public Leadership.
Biden all but handed the GOP the white flag they will need after the balloting is counted this fall. But here is the part that shows Biden at his political best. He did it with humor and in a conversational folksy style.
The Republican Party must examine the data and encourage candidates to join and use TikTok. If they want to win, they must be where young voters will see them.
Wisconsin’s once-low electric rates now the highest in Midwest. That’s a big problem for all of us.
A proposed Wisconsin bill has ignited a fierce debate about how to compassionately alleviate homelessness. The ongoing crisis has pushed state and local lawmakers to consider novel solutions, and this proposal has become a flashpoint.
City planners are advancing the west area plan as the first wave in its comprehensive, multi-year planning for the city’s 12 geographic areas. Areas on the west and north sides are the first this year.
Many — if not most — kids counted as enrolled in the Milwaukee Public Schools miss at least three weeks of class throughout the year. In some schools, nearly all kids are chronically absent — that is, absent on more than 10% of possible attendance days.
The Agricultural Road Improvement Program is a milestone in our collective efforts to modernize Wisconsin’s agricultural infrastructure.
The climate changes over long periods of time, and it always will. Folks will blame cows and every modern innovation for every wobble in the weather. Climate alarmists want to control the narrative. What is often needed is discernment, context and research to see what’s happening to our world. Be informed.
Wisconsinites are starving for tax relief. In response, Gov. Tony Evers served up a three-course veto meal, leaving taxpayers with a bitter aftertaste. Each veto represents a broken campaign promise of tax relief for the middle class.
All the mothers who have been to your office about this issue are desperate. We are now fighting for the lives of other children in honor of our children’s memories because it’s the only way we might find the tiniest bit of peace. Pass KOSA now.
Whatever voters do in April, come November we’ll almost certainly be facing a Trump v. Biden rematch. That’s a coin toss in our state.
I truly feel that our nation yearns, maybe without even knowing it, to be politely asked for their vote and to be treated as something other than just a part of an angry election cycle. A little Sousa music and an old-fashioned touch to our politics might just be what we need most in 2024.
At tonight’s State of the Union address what Joe Biden says won’t be heard. How he says it is the whole ballgame.
State and federal grants helping Wausau replace 8K lead service lines
Much progress made recently but more work remains
In 2022, more than 1,800 Wisconsinites died of an overdose, including nearly 70 in Waukesha County.
While the inflation pressures have fallen significantly, corporations that set everyday prices haven’t necessarily followed along.
Budget surpluses suggest the obvious. Wisconsin doesn’t have a taxing problem. It has a spending problem. And leaving that money on the table so politicians can play Uncle Sugar makes it worse.
