Under Wisconsin law, people must vote where their residence is. Residence is defined in Wisconsin Statute 6.10(1) as “the place where the person’s habitation is fixed, without any present intent to move, and to which, when absent, the person intends to return.” There are no special exceptions for college students.
U.S. Rep. Mark Pocan shows a better way.
Should lawmakers back the bill to spend more than $545 million in public dollars for maintenance and upgrades at American Family Field?
Absent significant changes to the deal, it should be rejected. While politicians of both parties love to spend money and pose for pictures with the Brewers, someone needs to look out for the taxpayers.
A bold challenge to the forces that threaten to bankrupt Wisconsin public schools.
Wisconsin’s GOP Senate is proposing to increase the parental tax deduction for private school students from $4,000 for an elementary school student to $5,070 and for a secondary student from $10,000 to $12,660 with future increases for inflation.
The Wisconsin Assembly speaker continues to try to disqualify Justice Protasiewicz from redistricting case.
Team of rookies will have to make the sale for automatic registration.
Hopefully, Wisconsin lawmakers will not allow big utility companies to control the EV charging market unfairly. They must create an environment where the private sector can succeed for a national EV charging network to be realized.
I’ve spent much of my career trying to share the peer reviewed research of climate scientists, which I believe unequivocally confirms the catastrophic impacts from climate change we are all seeing with our own eyes, and the need to limit those impacts.
The assertion of tribal sovereignty, combined with building alliances with the non-Native communities in the watersheds at risk from ecologically destructive mining projects, has proven to be an effective strategy.
As word of explosions in Israel shook many of us to our core, the conservative members of Congress remained steadfast in their in-party fighting. While there has been some movement, it shouldn’t take a war abroad to put the fire under their feet.
Jimmy Carter, the American president who most successfully advanced the cause of peace in the Middle East, has always recognized the challenges of this pursuit.
To this day, the name Michael Levin is spoken with reverence, and his story is shared widely to keep alive forever the heroism and sacrifice of a skinny kid from Pennsylvania who gave everything to become Israel’s Lone Soldier.
With right-wing media central to people like this killer, they eat up the lies, conspiracy theories, and racial messaging via the foghorns of their media empires.
It’s no wonder that former Justice David Prosser told Assembly Speaker Robin Vos there aren’t any grounds to impeach new Justice Janet Protasiewicz for calling the state’s districting maps “rigged.” According to former Assembly Rep. and Superintendent of Public Instruction Herbert Grover, Prosser did virtually the same thing when he was running for reelection back in 2011.
Two parties that can’t seem to agree on the time of day can come together on one thing: handing over a half billion dollars in the taxpayers’ hard-earned money to billionaires.
Americans must stand with Israel against Hamas terrorism and supply Israel with what it needs for its defense. America and Israel are allies, requiring honest dialogue throughout.
I could not in good conscience vote in favor of a resolution that was linguistically one-sided and did not acknowledge the plight of innocent Palestinians who were also harmed.
Pocan condemned “the heinous attacks by Hamas on Israel,” and declared that, “Any hostages should be released immediately and the violence must end.” At the same time, Pocan counseled that the Israeli response to the attack must seek to avoid more death and dislocation for the 2.4 million Palestinians living in Gaza.
