A couple of weeks ago Dane County Executive Joe Parisi appointed former Supervisor and current State Rep. Shelia Stubbs to lead the county’s human services agency. On paper, Stubbs looked like a good choice, but she has managed to disqualify herself with her actions since the appointment.
In my lifetime, there were rural voters in many communities who were electing Democrats to represent them. I bet if enough politicians with a D behind their names ever figure out that rural folks want more for their communities than reasons to be resentful, they’d do it again.
Schools do need to be wary of legal risks, but it can be easy to put too much focus on the risk of transgender students seeking special accommodations.
Last week Fitzgerald issued a press release announcing that he has joined ranks with other House Republicans to damage the 12-year-old Consumer Finance Protection Bureau.
Along with a bipartisan group of House members that includes some of the chamber’s most progressive and most conservative members, Pocan on Thursday introduced the Audit the Pentagon Act, a proposal to require transparency and accountability in a Department of Defense budget that is growing so rapidly that it will soon pass the $1 trillion-a-year mark.
The WisOpinion Insiders, Chvala and Jensen, consider the political future of Sarah Godlewski, who was recently appointed secretary of state by Gov. Tony Evers. Sponsored by the Wisconsin Counties Association.

Litterbugs should have to clean up their messes.
Law Day is a great opportunity to promote public understanding of our legal system and the work of the courts all year round.
AB 222/SB 222, the pre-disaster flood resilience grant, will create a program that uses scientific and conservation techniques to achieve the dual purposes of restoring wetlands and reducing flooding.
In advance of the 2024 RNC, a Milwaukee convention center director decided to destroy a potentially MAGA-triggering public display of literary art.
