We took extra time this week to remember the 1,200 innocent lives that were taken last year in the attack on Israel. May their memories be a blessing to their loved ones.
Following reported fundraising numbers, Republicans have improved their chances of keeping the majority in the Assembly. In the Senate, Democrats seem to have the edge in some key races.
The data show they are lying about crime, the economy and health insurance coverage.
For a political party that positions itself as the saviors of American democracy, Democrats sure don’t seem to trust it all that much. In the span of just two days, their presidential and vice-presidential candidates delivered revealing statements seemingly proving that, at their heart, Democrats don’t seem to believe their own rhetoric.
Taken together, two story lines — DPI lowers standards to show better results and MMSD obsesses over race while seeing its racial achievement gap actually grow — point to big problems in public education in Wisconsin.
For more than 30 years Wisconsin public schools have been without adequate funding from the state. Revenue caps restricted what districts could spend. The state reduced funding for legally mandated programs such as special education and support for English language learners.
As parents, we deserve to understand how our kids are doing and what they need to thrive. With these updates, we can have more meaningful assessment conversations around the dinner table – ones rooted in honesty and transparency.
All signs in Wisconsin point to heavy turnout on Nov. 5.
The Jesus I’ve read about repeatedly implores his followers to welcome strangers.
They are all on the honor system.
I’m an OB-GYN who work to solve the problems of each patient who walks through the exam room door. I have plans that are practical and not partisan.
As a union leader, I see the importance of electing candidates who will protect the interests of workers.
Even though history, economics and common sense exist, presidential hopeful, Kamala Harris, has never heard of any of them. In the latest entry of her ongoing series, “How To Destroy An Economy,” she has reconfirmed that she is absolutely clueless as to how an economy grows and creates wealth.
Legislation creates community reentry centers to provide prisoners with flexible services designed to lessen recidivism.
Elected on a partisan ticket, expect a partisan bias.
Remove the lead pipes in 10 years. Nothing less can be accepted.
Affordable Care Act had one worthy provision, which ensures individuals with pre-existing conditions are able to access healthcare, but everything else has made care more expensive and worse.
Affordable health care can only go so far if it’s not accessible or convenient for our families.
Workers from Mexico and other Latin American countries make up an estimated 70% of the labor force on Wisconsin dairy farms.
The next voter suppression frontier is proof of citizenship. Mark my words, if a majority of Wisconsin voters approve the November 5 referendum, legislation will be written soon thereafter requiring citizens to have a valid passport or an original birth certificate before being allowed to register to vote or cast a ballot.
