This spring, I’m going to rededicate the Minocqua Brewing Co. to leading with light and love instead of darkness and anger.

Without expanding mental health care funding, our mental health resources will continue to dwindle. Wisconsinites deserve better.

The WisOpinion Insiders, Chvala and Jensen, look at the recent spring election and whether ballot questions affected turnout. Sponsored by the Wisconsin Counties Association and Michael Best Strategies.

Earth Day is a time to reflect on the impact humans have on the environment and on how war and militarism are connected to and responsible for the biggest threat to the ecosystem and the world’s population — climate change.

We can all certainly accept the role of being good stewards of resources provided. Where we often depart is the extent to which our lives need to be controlled by a sense of panic regarding changes occurring in the climate.

Chicago is the perfect place for Democrats to hold their 2024 national convention. Crime continues to be a major problem. Protesters rule the streets. Racial unrest has led to violence.

Dan Shafer and Dan Kaufman discuss the race for state Supreme Court and what Janet Protasiewicz’s victory means for Wisconsin.

Looking ahead, we need the Legislature and its leadership to continue boldly partnering with law enforcement. Our departments are underfunded and our municipalities need more money to continue progressing against the violent criminals that terrorize our communities.

Recent reports on the trafficking of minors in the United States force us to confront our complicity in a grotesque injustice.

The Republican Party of Wisconsin has been spiraling since Reince Priebus left as Chairman to take over the RNC in 2011; only now, it seems, we have hit the iceberg dead on and are taking on water, big time.

Can Scott Walker lead the way to transforming the party’s aging demographics?
