Kudos to all of those who stayed the course, passed the laws, improved the site, kept the faith, ignored the critics and worked to land such a prized partner. It really is great when a plan comes together.
The mess is the result of a series of financial decisions made over the past five years; it is not a result of the pandemic. In fact the fiscal relief provided by the federal government through the American Rescue Plan Act only masked the poorly thought-out decisions pushed forward by Mayor Satya Rhodes-Conway.
The former Madison mayor never fails to try to sabotage whoever currently holds the office.
Madison’s bus rapid transit (BRT) and local bus service could and should complement each other. Instead, Madison’s Network Redesign Plan places them in opposition by preying on local transit service funding to support BRT.
Compared to 4 other maps of Wisconsin’s legislative districts, the current one nullifies the most votes.
“Warren.Spahn@wisconsin.gov” has sent or received 17,000 emails since Evers took office—an average of more than 11 per day—in a blatant and calculated attempt at evading Wisconsin’s Open Records Law and shielding from the public correspondence that it has an absolute right to view.
Now he’s stealing Warren Spahn’s name to duck state records law.
One of our most popular state parks is being threatened by a Scott Walker-era corporate giveaway that could not only degrade the popular Kohler-Andrae State Park but also set a dangerous precedent that could endanger other state parks as well.
For a long time, I thought it was best to stay silent. Complaining or writing about what I was experiencing could make me more of a target. But when we are silent, we allow hate to fester.
The downstream effect of the state government’s long overdue action on local funding means Milwaukee’s finances are in their best shape in decades.
The recent Greater Madison Chamber of Commerce forum featuring the seven Dane County mayors exposed just how severely the Wisconsin Legislature has undermined local government in the state.
Given the importance of connecting with younger voters and statistics showing the trending increases in voter turn-out among 18-24-year-old Wisconsinites, we request all GOP presidential hopefuls both embrace and utilize these vital campaign tools throughout the 2024 election cycle.
Trump could score a knockout before the Wisconsin primary. But if Haley is still around and DeSantis has pulled out, Wisconsin voters could be in a pivotal position to decide if Trump becomes the GOP nominee.
Whether one agrees with the underlying perspectives of Henry Kissinger or how he shapes the map of international relations, one thing is certain–he is a titan of ideas when it comes to foreign policy.
Both as county exec and governor, Scott Walker systematically evaded public scrutiny.
This bill makes dozens of major changes to state law that are very good for small businesses and rural communities.
People, no matter where they live, should have access to high-quality health care services and healthy food options to put on their table.
The Ku Klux Klan and its anti-Black, anti-semitism and anti-Catholic campaign was eventually exposed for its anti-Americanism and relegated to the dustbin of history. Today’s neo-Nazis and all they stand for must suffer the same fate.
Bipartisan efforts to protect the rights of student journalists are moving forward at the Wisconsin Capitol. Meanwhile, school officials in Madison could move in the opposite direction.
In the early campaigns that Jimmy Carter undertook for office, she would get in a car and drive the country roads looking for the tall broadcast antennas that would lead her to a radio station. She would walk in and introduce herself as the wife of the candidate and ask if they might like to interview her.
