We should have a smaller jail and put more resources into strategies and efforts to keep people out of the criminal justice system and out of the Dane County Jail.
Gov. Tony Evers signed an executive order on Tuesday prohibiting price gouging on gasoline and diesel, a CYA political move arguably as pointless as the Democrat’s time in office.
Wisconsin’s gun laws are among the weakest in the country and the Legislature is only trying to make our state less safe.
Self-insured employers have been fighting the good fight against runaway health costs for their companies and for their workers for decades, without much help from state and national politicians. But a ray of sunshine has emerged: the courts.
On this Juneteenth we must examine the importance of that day to the Black community as well as ask if America has lived up to the questions posed by Frederick Douglass nearly 168 years ago.
A sitting senator went out of his way to step on the rule of law, our political institutions, and the election processes of our nation.
Scarlett Johnson sat down with Badger Institute Policy Director Patrick McIlheran to explain what drove her to act on behalf of her local schools, and why more parents should do so.
If Democrats find a way to hang on to the 3rd Congressional District in Southwestern Wisconsin this fall, it will almost certainly mean that Gov. Tony Evers will win a second term, that Sen. Ron Johnson will be defeated and that the Democrats will hold the Senate and stem their losses in the House.
A pair of state Democrat legislators plan to introduce a framework of bills that could build on Gov. Tony Evers’ clean energy plan.

In Wisconsin we badly need some Republicans with the courage of Pence and Cheney — who memorably told her Republican colleagues in her opening statement of the Jan. 6 hearings, “There will come a day when Donald Trump is gone. Your dishonor will remain.”
Pence can’t help himself. The career politician, who has rarely let an election cycle pass without positioning for a bid for another high office, will keep trying to have it both ways.
The Seminole Tribe of Florida has cleared a first hurdle in its race to build a Hard Rock Casino in Kenosha, while the public remains in the dark about the behind-the-scenes wheeling and dealing.
The American flag represents the freedoms we hold dear.
In a city where the paint is fading saying “Kenosha Strong” I can’t help but wonder if we have gotten any stronger or just the same.
His columns were a must-read for the way he blended current themes within the larger context of how our nation could be and should be.
This Juneteenth, as we recognize the trials Black Americans have overcome and celebrate the resilience, vibrancy, and countless contributions of Black Wisconsinites, we must also recognize our fight for equity and justice in this state is far from finished.

As we dealt with the abrupt end of Reconstruction and entered the Jim Crow Era, it was through staunch activism and policy that we were able to retain our freedom. As we reflect on this Juneteenth holiday, I hope we take stock of the fact that we are embattled in yet another fight for our collective freedom.
