They say that corporal punishment makes it more likely the child will grow up regarding violence as acceptable and, in turn, more likely to engage in it.
Legislative proposal would allow police departments, others to charge more for public records.
An explanation of why Wisconsin needs business courts.
Almost exactly one year ago, on Jan. 26, 2023, Biden’s Interior Department announced a 20-year mining moratorium on 225,000 acres in Northeastern Minnesota, effectively stopping a proposed copper, cobalt, and nickel mine in the area.
It is becoming clear that Trump’s dominance of the GOP does not include suburban voters and fact-based independents.
Donald Trump is a hollow man whose ramblings and disorientation are finally drawing media scrutiny. Between the Iowa caucus and the New Hampshire primary, and now Nevada, his repeated mistakes are forcing reporters to take notice. But such incongruities started much earlier.
Minnesota Rep. Dean Phillips should be on the April presidential primary ballot in Wisconsin.
The central problem is, the proponents of ranked choice voting are doing exactly what they say the current system does: rigging elections toward candidates with certain ideological perspectives. By their own admission, they are rooting out “extreme” and “partisan” candidates in favor of the moderate middle ground, as defined by elites.

On Friday, Green Bay election observer Janet Angus won an important battle in the fight for transparent elections
Those who want the power should be required to show their finances.
Unless there’s more to this proposal, it’s clear that KRM would be a white elephant, providing poorer service than is available now from Amtrak and Coach USA, siphoning passengers from them while not attracting new passengers, all at the cost potentially of many millions of dollars.
The Kenosha-to-Milwaukee train boondoggle is back.
One of the largest groups of bipartisan legislators our state has ever seen has stepped forward to cosponsor Senate Bill 737, the PBM Accountability Act. This bill will effectively end these dirty-trick practices in Wisconsin and continue to increase transparency in the PBM process.
Congress should never allowed this to happen to a successful program that been a lifeline for millions of America’s senior citizens.
In the aftermath of the disputed 2020 presidential elections, the thousands of local officials who administer U.S. elections have rightly received a lot of public attention and sympathy.
