Wisconsin Republicans have proposed legislation to help DACA recipients and expand EV charging stations, and the Senate majority leader has called for an end to the blockade on UW pay.

The unions’ lawsuit to overturn Wisconsin’s “Act 10” 2011 labor reforms isn’t primarily about money.

The solutions to ending nutrition insecurity start with community voice and are achieved with adaptive partners willing to innovate together.

Out-of-state investors now own 7,170 single family homes, condos, duplexes or triplexes across Milwaukee, an increase from 5,250 in late 2018 as reported in 2022.

We are far from freeing our communities from lead-in-water poisoning, especially after reviewing the devilish details worthy of our collective attention.

Poll reviews sour mood, but data paints a different picture.

Protasiewicz must recuse herself from anything resembling or close to Act 10 lawsuits. She’s made her opinions well known, and can’t possibly offer a neutral opinion after participating in protests and signing the recall.

It’s a sad state of affairs when no legislative Republicans are willing to stand up to Vos, even though their constituents directly benefit from investments in UW.

Former Madison Metropolitan School District Superintendent Dan Nerad faced criticism over issues that will still confront a new superintendent in 2024.
