Plus: In an “informed” vote poll where candidate biographies are shared, Lt. Gov. Sara Rodriguez leads the field with 33%.
Advice for Democrats. Stop posting about fish, talking about fish, and holding fish on camera if you don’t really know anything about fish and never fish. Gov. Tony Evers notoriously posed for the cameras once holding a fish so tightly that he looked like he was squishing its middle like a tube of Crest toothpaste.
Dismantling this law would not be a simple policy tweak; it would be an absolute fiscal disaster for property taxpayers, public services, and the long-term stability of our communities.
Wisconsin has a foundation to compete globally.
Co-ops take time but are sustainable and avoid government pitfalls.
Ways to carry on Daniel Hoan’s legacy include innovative solutions to deterring crime, bringing taxes down, eliminating the school board and cutting regulatory barriers so developers can produce more housing.
Populist paranoia has taken over both parties.
America is still paying dearly for the June 27, 2024, debacle. The Trump demolition tour for his 80th birthday and the nation’s 250th is about to choke this city to death. Besides which, our civil society and federal government are on life support.

The Wisconsin Supreme Court is tiptoeing around reform ideas. A suggestion that rules require justices to recuse from cases if big donors are involved is a good one. Also, justices should not be governed only by their own consciences on recusal. A majority of the court should be able to force a justice to step aside.
Wisconsin has seen far too many cases where dangerous offenders were released, given low bail, placed on signature bond, or allowed to remain in the community despite serious pending charges or supervision concerns, only for more innocent people to be hurt or killed.
Wisconsin is ensnared in a fiscal trap of its own making, a consequence of relying on the taxation of human frailty to fund the apparatus of state government.
Nazis, deadbeats and terrorist sympathizers get party blessing.
Yes, it can and should include advocating for legislation.
Recent ads for candidates add life – finally – to a very sleepy campaign.
