When we focus only on expected lifetime earnings when making the case for higher education, we are guilty of underthinking college. Vocational training is not the only purpose of higher education, it’s not even the most important purpose.
Neighborhood Centers throughout Madison operate in the heart, and as the heart, of some of the city’s most challenged neighborhoods.
It’s time for the media to shed the cloak of non-partisanship, unbiased reporting, and any other misnomer they choose to hide under.
Vos claims city is the biggest beneficiary. Really? Let’s look at the numbers.
The NASCAR dad vs. the Madison entrepreneur for the right to oppose Tammy Baldwin.
AB 415 was a way for us to get to a process to create a map. It was not a vote that I took lightly, but it was done on behalf of the people.
Vos hasn’t traveled in the footsteps of his once hero, John McCain, participating instead in creating the most gerrymandered redistricting in the United States and going to extremes to preserve it.
Six Republican legislators should not be able to deny pay raises approved by the entire legislature and the governor to 41,000 U W System employees.
Because of how the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services reimburses healthcare providers, some of the most vulnerable Wisconsinites are at risk of losing access to healthcare that they need and deserve.
Recent victories in Pennsylvania and New Hampshire special elections suggest Democrats can score huge wins in the fight to control state legislatures. That changes everything.
This is an unprecedented step of the speaker inserting himself into the judicial process.
Protasiewicz has not ruled on a case. And the excuse that she was obviously supported by partisan Democrats is no excuse when the three justices I worked to support were openly supported by the state GOP.
The head of state public defender’s office, now retiring, getting mentioned as possible state Supreme Court candidate.
All things considered, having the Brewers in Wisconsin is a net benefit to the state, but it does not rise to the level of justifying hundreds of millions of dollars of taxpayer support.
Powerful algorithms could do better. A powerful algorithm, guided by mathematical principles alone, can quickly find exceptional maps without error or bias.
A state Department of Health Services decision to take a year to remove ineligible people from Wisconsin’s Medicaid rolls — much slower than many other states — will cost federal and state taxpayers an estimated $745 million.
CESA 10’s mission includes maximizing learning opportunities and school effectiveness. To that end, CESA 10 has been hard at work providing efficiencies for taxpayers across Wisconsin, especially in the northwestern region of the state.
Tim Scott calls for firing workers. Nikki Haley celebrates union busting. And Trump’s attacking UAW leaders.
I believe keeping the Brewers in Wisconsin is extremely important, not only because the organization has a rich history and millions of loyal fans, but also because the revenue that the team brings in benefits our wonderful state and economy. For that reason, any plan to finance infrastructure improvements must also be respectful of Wisconsin’s taxpayers.
In the 100 or more Cap Times Idea Fest sessions I’ve attended in the past seven years, I have seen nothing quite like it.
