EPA rule would needlessly hurt Wisconsin’s paper industry … proposed updates to its rule for fine particulate matter … is a bad policy that would curtail production and lead to the loss of good paying jobs — many in rural areas — without having a meaningful impact toward improving public health.
As sure as it gets cold in January, the annual push to repeal Wisconsin’s historic minimum markup law is underway.
It now appears that the Republican Assembly’s plan to allow heavily restricted access to medical marijuana is up against more than token opposition in the Senate.
There are two key takeaways from Wisconsin’s pioneering school choice programs. First, students in the programs outperform their public school peers. Second, the taxpayer cost is sixty-nine percent of public school spending.
King’s 1967 speech is particularly relevant today.
Either unaware or forgetful of truths like what happened in Tulsa in 1921 or on the Virginia coast in the late 1600s, we collide with others we are conditioned to see as enemies but with whom we share so much in common socially, economically and politically. We are put at each other’s throats by ruling elites who seek to divide and conquer us to enrich themselves. Things never taught in school become mistakes repeated.
The courts should be a place for the people to seek justice. Democrats have treated them as a place to seize control, weaponizing the justice system to target their political opponents.
Voters will have a clear choice in November. Cooke is the real deal.
Conservatives embrace Dr. King’s dream of an America in which its citizens are neither advantaged, nor disadvantaged, based on race, and its laws no longer favor one group over another.
Today and every day, I feel inspired by Dr. King to live by his words and continue his actions toward a more equal, just, and unified world. We’ve got some work ahead of us, but you have my word that I will keep working hard for you, for your family, and for Wisconsin.
It’s too bad that people of color didn’t have zealous advocates of their equal rights during this nation’s historic past like white folks do today with the likes of the Wisconsin Institute for Law and Liberty guarding their “liberties.”
Republican divisions between geographic areas, between Senate and Assembly on the bill.
Add in the same economic issue that has impacted businesses nationwide, a shortage of employees, and one can start to glimpse why more Amazon packages being delivered with one hand undercuts the prompt delivery of an electrical bill or letter from Uncle Glen on the other hand.
As we mark the third anniversary of the events that unfolded on Jan. 6, the political violence unleashed by the MAGA faction that day continues to reverberate in Wisconsin, and not just in election denial or efforts to derail holding insurrectionists accountable.
As 2023 came to a close, the legislature and University of Wisconsin System came to an agreement on a path forward that refocuses the UW’s priorities on our campuses to student success and achievement, ensures our best and brightest students remain in the state, and makes significant investments in building projects across Wisconsin’s universities.
AB 734 would not allow any person under 12 years old to play tackle football in any organized league. The reason: concessions. And before you ask, yes it’s a thing.

The WisOpinion Insiders, Chvala and Jensen, talk about Wisconsin’s Republican false electors and how their acknowledgement that Biden won against Trump in 2020 differs from other states. Sponsored by the Wisconsin Counties Association and the Tommy G. Thompson Center on Public Leadership.
When you combine the pressure on media to chase audience given the apparently fleeting attention span of many readers with its tendency to engage in false equivalencies like coverage of Clinton’s emails to demonstrate evenhandedness in the face of “liberal bias” accusations, you have a prescription for more of the same this year.
Former President Donald Trump will be the Republican nominee in 2024. If President Biden is the nominee for the Democrats, the 45th president will become the 47th president of the United States.
