We in Wisconsin could not hope for a more strategic partner. Microsoft is the most valuable corporation in the world with a market value that has passed $3 trillion.
Work taking place at WARF Therapeutics is a big part of why Wisconsin is being considered for a medical “tech hub” designation by the federal government, which could put more resources into play. Wisconsin has all the world-class ingredients to build such a hub – and to answer the question sometimes asked on Main Street or inside the State Capitol: “What’s all that research doing for us?”
The hypocrisy is thick and deep. Conservative groups keep swiping away rights from people while claiming their purpose is to secure their God-given rights.
Summerfest boss has collected $9.9 million in 6 years for running tax-exempt charity.
Hovde’s candidacy faces significant hurdles.
As chaos seems to be the focus of so many in American and Wisconsin politics right now, the Wisconsin Young Republicans stand ready to fight for freedom and take back control in 2024.
The party is awash in cash so it has decided to spend $140 million on a campaign to better connect with rural America. That’s a good idea. But their strategy is questionable.
The husband-and-wife duo of Peter Baker and Susan Glasser will discuss their definitive book on the Trump presidency with David Maraniss at a special Cap Times Idea Fest session on Sept. 19.
We either have state statutes that have meaning and will be enforced across Wisconsin, or we have laws on the books that can be skirted and only applicable to certain people.
The need for worker education and protections
Here in Wisconsin, it is practically impossible to make a living educating young children while charging rates parents can afford to pay.
Sadly, in too many cases, society overlooks mental health care, leaving many people vulnerable to afflictions such as addiction, depression, anxiety and many other diseases. This stigmatization has leached into our politics.
Thirty years of problems beg fundamental change or permanent closure.
Microsoft, probably the most successful American corporation both by reputation and revenues, announced plans to invest $3.3 billion to build an AI data center by the end of 2026 on the campus that had been created for Foxconn.
The KC-46A Pegasus is a state-of-the-art air refueling tanker that could be housed in Milwaukee.
The way this city and region approaches transportation is unquestionably going in a different direction. Whether the full scope of change will be realized is another question. A squishy middle-ground is always more likely than a bold decision.
After 23 years on the Madison police force, Mike Hanson is retiring as captain of the downtown district.
The WisOpinion Insiders, Chvala and Jensen, look at the upcoming spring 2025 Supreme Court election, now an open seat that will determine ideological control of the court with liberal Justice Ann Walsh Bradley’s plan to retire. Sponsored by the Wisconsin Counties Association and The Tommy G. Thompson Center on Public Leadership.
This year’s protests recall the classic demonstrations of the 1960s. However, these anti-Israel protests aren’t your parents’ or grandparents’ dissents of the past. They differ in important ways that are essential to understand.
Videos of protesters being beaten, tear-gassed and aggressively arrested across the county have been going viral on social media
