From the Northwoods to the state line and the Mississippi River to Lake Michigan, Wisconsin’s embrace of solar, wind and energy storage projects signifies a pivotal stride toward energy resilience and a cleaner future.
Rather than acting dismissively of the protesters or reacting angrily to their message, we should listen, as they have something very important to say.
Richard Nixon’s legacy is substantial. His achievements were historic, and he surmounted great obstacles to political victory, only to destroy himself.
The WisOpinion Insiders, Chvala and Jensen, look at recent polls and discuss how close the U.S. Senate and presidential races might be. Sponsored by the Wisconsin Counties Association and the Tommy G. Thompson Center on Public Leadership.
This year, the American Bar Association has chosen the theme “The Voices of Democracy,” which aligns with the foundational principles of our legal system and the essence of our nation’s democratic ethos.
Suit by Gov. Evers shows Wisconsin violating separation-of-powers doctrine.
Evers’ veto unfortunately is in line with rising trend of schools refusing traditional short recruiting talks.
Rep. Mark Pocan balances opposition to the war and support for Biden.
Mike Gallagher left Congress Saturday as a traditional Republican after his pivotal vote to support Ukraine against Vladimir Putin. He was a hawk during his eight years in Washington, in contrast to the rest of the Wisconsin GOP delegation that has gone soft on Putin.
The hard-right Freedom Caucus may have finally been put in its place and SCOTUS might reject an extreme state anti-abortion law while unrealistic hard-left ideas about how to fight crime are being ended in places that once embraced them, DEI may be improved through a needed pushback, and even the very heart of hard-left media may be undergoing a change back toward fairness. It’s springtime for moderation.
The kind of transformation underway in Wisconsin and elsewhere today has a chance to alter the carbon-based footprint of the industry through new fuels, new engines and new ways to move people and cargo through airports.
This week’s Solar for All Announcement expands access for solar, creates options for low- and moderate-income families in Wisconsin
Residents facing environmental contamination, economic disinvestment, racial discrimination, and political marginalization for organizing to save their families from harm, have to this day continue to face these same injustices they faced when they first exposed the lead in water crisis.
He was 85, but the news business was just as alive in him as it was back in college at Michigan State more than 60 years ago.
Women and girls don’t need protection from fellow women and girls who just want to play sports and experience the various benefits that come with it. Women and girls and non-binary people need equal access, equal funding, robust protections against sexual assault and harassment, and the dignity of being taken just as seriously as men in sports.
Unions scoring notable victories, not in manufacturing but in the service industry.
Despite all these protests, Congress passed military aid to Israel (as well as humanitarian aid for Gaza) on overwhelming votes. So, not only do the protests appear to be ineffectual, I think there’s a fair chance that they’re pushing the American public the other way.
It is very likely that every single voter who chooses Trump will also pick Hovde and whoever votes for Biden will pick Baldwin. In other words, if Trump wins the state, so does Hovde. Baldwin brings no residual strength at all.
Evers is wrong, just like Walker was wrong several years ago. By misusing the extensive veto authority granted to Wisconsin governors, chief executives are making the argument for rolling back the powers.
Gov. Tony Evers turned constitutional limitations against taxation without representation on their head when he unilaterally increased property taxes on Wisconsinites for the next 400 years.
