Steve Vavrus, director of the State Climatology Office, looks back on how Wisconsin’s climate has changed since the 2011 WICCI assessment report.
So what’s a concerned citizen to do? You can make sure that your federal and state legislators know that we expect them to take meaningful action on climate change by helping Wisconsin meet greenhouse gas reduction goals, and by preparing for tomorrow’s climate impacts.
The destruction of the UW System continues unabated, even as the state had a huge surplus, and a Democrat was in the governor’s office. All because of “reduced state support.”
A year ago during the pandemic, Travis and Tamanna Bembenek reassessed their corporate careers and decided to buy Mexico News Daily, that country’s largest English-language digital news outlet.
Edgerton Reporter Editor Diane Everson received the Edgerton Rotary Club’s citizen of the year award, just one of many accolades she’s received during her tenure at the paper to which she’s devoted her life.
Republicans leave Elections Commission unbalanced and board overseeing DNR unable to act.
Trump and Cleta Mitchell are demonizing elections data system Wisconsin joined via 2016 Republican law.
In a dramatic turn of events, Congress passed a last-minute spending bill that averts a government shutdown.
Pardeep Kaleka’s friendship showed me a diverse, peaceful society is possible if we change the story we tell ourselves: We don’t have to be at war with “the other.” Our diversity can help us flourish.
I am an invader. Actually, the son of “invaders.” But with presidential hopefuls Donald Trump, Vivek Ramaswamy and Ron DeSantis having taken aim at the 14th Amendment’s explicit creation of birthright citizenship, it’s clear that “invader” by association is enough to lump me in.
So, Biden’s $6 billion given to the mullahs of Iran paid off – for them. A deal made on Sept. 11 of all dates. Biden has no shame.
Feel-good politics collides with inconvenient facts when law-making distorts reality.

Wisconsin is widely-known as the most gerrymandered state in our country.
No audit. Voter anger. Politicians renegotiating deal. The list goes on.
Last week, unbeknownst to the public or the Wisconsin Legislature who came to Milwaukee’s rescue, Milwaukee Mayor Cavalier Johnson introduced a plan to increase his own pay and that of his political allies on the Common Council by a whopping 15%.
Program provided over half a million tests for students, faculty, staff and the public at UW campuses.
Somewhere along the line, our culture has warmed to snark and spite and conceit and cruelty. It has cooled on charity and service. This puts us in dangerous territory, no doubt.

Hamas’ brutality is so clear that it demands condemnation in the clearest, strongest terms. Those who hedge on their condemnation, much less actually find those attacks justified, are just wrong.
