Reggie Jackson: Un-whitewashing MLK
Seeing a true legacy that heroification has kept long hidden.
John Nichols: Hong recognizes that Wisconsin needs an Economic Bill of Rights
Last year, as a newly elected legislator, she worked with state Rep. Kristina Shelton, D-Green Bay, to develop an Economic Justice Bill of Rights, which they introduced with almost two dozen Assembly cosponsors and six senators.
Dave Cieslewicz: Biden’s problem
I think I’ve hit on Pres. Joe Biden’s fundamental problem: he was never a mayor. When you’ve been a mayor of a liberal city you learn one thing right out of the gate: the left is never, ever satisfied.
Bruce Thompson: What can school district report cards tell us?
Despite an improved score for MPS, many problems remain.
M.D. Kittle: Expensive medicine
Bills moving through both houses of the Legislature, critics say, would bar an increasingly popular free-market way for employers to save on expensive specialty drugs.
Brett Healy: Citizens of Superior beware
Government broadband boondoggle unnecessary and a huge risk for property taxpayers
Bill Barth: Term limits, crucial tool to effect change
Johnson’s reversal is a reminder that politicians seldom go willingly.

Mike Nichols: The other epidemic: overspending
Turns out, as it always does when you look at where federal tax dollars end up in this country, Wisconsin is bringing up the tail end in the scramble for COVID cash.
Dave Zweifel: Tommy Thompson a different GOP brand than today’s hyper partisans
While we may have disagreed with many of his policies, there was no question that he had the best interests of Wisconsin citizens at heart.
Chelsea Chandler: To attract young workers, address climate change
If climate change is a critical issue for the members of our society who make up a significant and growing portion of the workforce and who will soon constitute a majority of the electorate, why aren’t businesses and politicians doing more to address it?
M.D. Kittle: How many more election laws will WEC be allowed to break?
Waukesha County Circuit Court Judge Michael Bohren ordered the Wisconsin Elections Commission rescind its guidance that permitted the widespread use of drop boxes and the practice of ballot harvesting in the 2020 presidential election.
M.D. Kittle: Conflict of interest?
WEDC board member’s biz benefits from Evers’ grant.
