Last summer, Governor Tony Evers signed into law Act 20, a bill that allocated $50 million dollars to create a new literacy office, hire reading coaches and shift away from what has been known as “balanced literacy” to a “science of reading” approach.
The thing that excites me most about these medicines is that we have an opportunity to prevent the need for them in the next generation.
It’s Biden, solid record of accomplishments for America, vs. Trump, running on Trump first and America last.
Neither Trump nor Biden are inevitable. We can do better.
Unlike their predecessors of the past 78 years who stood strongly against the likes of Hitler and Stalin; these Republicans refuse to voice America’s commitment to keep free people from being trampled. They appear ready to give up America’s continued engagement with the world and turn inward instead.
There is a question begging to be addressed about the character of the people who somehow found themselves willing to do literally anything for Donald Trump.
As mayor, she’s placed a major emphasis on addressing PFAS contamination in Wausau’s drinking water.
The WisOpinion Insiders, Chvala and Jensen, offer their take on the abortion issue and its impact on the 2024 elections. Sponsored by the Wisconsin Counties Association and the Tommy G. Thompson Center on Public Leadership.
A recent Urban Milwaukee article echoed several inaccurate claims about hospitals’ – specifically in the Milwaukee area – compliance with federal price transparency regulations. The article was predominantly based on a seven-month-old, slanted report from Patient Rights Advocate. PRA is an agenda-driven advocacy group based in Massachusetts with a long track record of outlandish attacks on hospitals and misleading reports that have repeatedly been debunked.

I find myself reading news stories about courts and judicial topics differently than I once did. I begin in the usual way, understanding the basics of who, what, when, where, why and how. My more recent, added step is to determine whether some key player — a judge or a special prosecutor — was appointed during Donald Trump’s presidency.
President Biden will again be the Democratic nominee for president of the United States of America.
Joe Biden last week took Mark Twain’s advice, spoke and removed all doubt.
Wisconsin Assembly passes bill to give these two companies priority to build power lines in the state.
When it comes to tech, we just buy it. Selling software to higher education must be the best job in the world. We just can’t say no.
Those who are following the selection process for a new Madison schools superintendent have undoubtedly noticed the number of letters and other communications in support of one of the three finalists: Dr. Joe Gothard.
Heartbreaking story from Wisconsin nursing homes highlights horrible trend.
Executives seek to maximize revenue? GOP rejection of expanded Medicaid also at fault?
Democrats in the state Legislature introduced Paid Leave For All, a comprehensive paid family and medical leave bill that covers all workers across the state and encompasses a wide range of circumstances.
I doubt anyone misses the vitriol and demonization that occurred in that time, and I commend those brave legislators who had the temerity and fortitude to stand their ground in those contentious days. Let’s keep Act 10 working for all the citizens of Wisconsin.
