Universities can cash in on faculty brainpower and inventions.

As a lifelong Milwaukee resident, I’ve often said that Milwaukee County is a tale of two counties. I’m committed to working actively to change this reality by championing clean energy and environmental justice, on Juneteenth and on the other 364 days of the year.

We Energies is asking for a 6.9% average increase in 2025 and a 4.78% increase for 2026 for electric rates.

The Supreme Court correctly upheld a federal law Friday that bars guns for domestic abusers, rejecting an argument selfishly and unconscionably pressed by gun rights groups that the prohibition violated the Second Amendment.

The WisOpinion Insiders, Chvala and Jensen take a look at the continuing saga of the effort to recall Assembly Speaker Robin Vos. Sponsored by the Wisconsin Counties Association and the Tommy G. Thompson Center on Public Leadership.

History proves that state officials in Madison cannot or will not fix prisons like Waupun.

School choice opponents resent parents having options and treat choice as if it were a threat.

It’s also the first time in the state’s history that constitutional amendments will be on an August primary ballot.

As a group, they are equally passionate and altruistic. This city is profoundly fortunate to have people like the Rev. Alex Gee and many, many others — young and old, men and women — who never seem to lose hope.

This is not the BRT I envisioned. Madison is financially devastated because Rhodes-Conway is mismanaging the bus system.

Everything hinges on a strong debate performance.

Companies that work with government agencies here in the United States should absolutely not be permitted to simultaneously work with some of America’s fiercest rivals. Conflicts of interest like these are unethical and downright appalling.

EPA recently released its revised Consumer Confidence Report (CCR) Rule and to no surprise the agency surrendered to pushback from water utilities and local governments who objected to the EPA initial call for “an explicit prohibition on false or misleading information in water quality reports…”

Read an excerpt from “Just the Good Stuff: No-BS Secrets to Success (No Matter What Life Throws at You)” by Wisconsin native and UW-Oshkosh alum Jim VandeHei, cofounder of Axios and Politico.

The government shouldn’t be mandating EVs — which someday may or may not reduce overall emissions — when they have homegrown biofuels that are here now and available at your local filling station.

There is yet more evidence to prove the theme of needing to safeguard our fundamental rights is positively received by voters.

The mainstream media finds little newsworthy about underdogs. Don’t bet against us, as we represent Americans by the millions who will not have their Democracy taken from them.

Experts say Social Security will not be able to pay its bills by 2033, and Medicare will run short by 2031.

The conservative majority has time and again pushed back against an aggressive executive.

Another shining example of the bureaucratic state’s methodology
