Across the state they are always more Democratic than the rest of the county.

Wisconsin’s per capita GDP in comparison to other Midwest states is troubling. Even more troubling: we’re trending in the wrong direction.

As inflation remains stubbornly high, we put trust in his policy proposals to cut sky high costs, but his alarming rhetoric about endangering Social Security benefits is a major concern to older Wisconsinites.

Indeed, thanks to pioneering Wisconsin progressives who were leery of vesting enormous control in private monopolies and allowing them to enjoy big guaranteed profits, many Wisconsin communities formed their own gas and electric companies.

Regardless of where you fall ideologically, it is hard to contest that abortion qualifies as a human rights issue.

Largely due to state law that limits who can sell electric power directly or indirectly, Wisconsin ranks among the bottom tier of states when it comes to electric vehicle chargers per capita.

Mergers hike prices and corporate pay, lower quality. The Aurora Advocate merger with Atrium will do all three.

Now up to an ‘unprecedented’ $6.8 billion. But can Evers and Legislature agree on any plans to spend it?

The Democrats have abandoned Iowa.

It was reported this week that nearly a million immigrant adults were naturalized as American citizens in the fiscal year 2022, the third-highest annual tally recorded in U.S. history.

In my experience, if I see any common threads of bias running through news reporting, it’s not political. Not liberal or conservative, Democratic or Republican. If there’s widespread, chronic media bias, it’s three C’s and a U.

Wisconsin’s rich political history has been shaped not just by the two major parties of the moment, but by alternative parties that sometimes became major players in the progress of the state.

Vos made it clear he will blackmail Evers into signing a bill that would open the entire state to private school vouchers regardless of a family’s income or the size of a school’s enrollment.
