From work on weather satellites by Verner Soumi and Robert Parent in the 1950s to OAO-2, Hubble and James Webb, UW-Madison scientists have helped engineer that increasingly deeper look into space.
The WisOpinion Insiders, Chvala and Jensen, offer their take on why so many state lawmakers are retiring their positions amid new legislative district maps. Sponsored by the Wisconsin Counties Association and the Tommy G. Thompson Center on Public Leadership.
Just two of 132 members come from working class backgrounds, report finds.
With the upcoming elections this year, I respectfully request that you look at the candidates on your ballot and ask the simple question; did they vote yes or no to fund Child Care Counts? A “no” means they do not value early childhood education and the development of children at their most critical stage.
Evers’ veto of SB 517 is a missed opportunity to support law enforcement. It is also a missed opportunity to prevent political harassment of any citizen that the justice system has determined is not guilty of a crime.
Madison isn’t two cities. It’s one wonderful, complicated, diverse city where more than 268,000 people who come from all walks of life experience a whole array of challenges and opportunities and hold a very wide variety of opinions.

Sports betting has become so pervasive that the owners of my favorite Major League Baseball team have built a “sports book” facility attached to the right field corner of Wrigley Field.

Wisconsin voters spoke loudly and clearly Tuesday, striking a blow for democracy by forever banishing private money from election administration.
Yesterday’s elections weren’t going to be earth-shattering, but the results were still encouraging.
Lesson number-one for Biden, as regards the November race in Wisconsin, is simple: keep running against Trump. It works.
If you can’t answer “yes” to most of these questions, why would you vote for this man as president of the United States? The same questions can be asked of Joe Biden.
The whole nation can and should strongly applaud the voters in Enid, Oklahoma. The reason we do so is very basic. We must never allow extremists to prevail.
