Simply put, it’s not a matter of “if” marijuana” will be legalized in Wisconsin but “when.” It’s time we do this in a manner that honors Wisconsin businesses, rights the past wrongs in our criminal justice system, and brings revenue back into our state that is currently flooding across our borders to neighboring states.
I hope this isn’t a back door into funding the Brewers’ stadium costs, but even if it is the good it will do for every local government in the state and the fact that it was negotiated on a bipartisan basis are reasons to cheer.

Most Democrats don’t want Joe Biden to run again, public opinion polls report. Can you blame them?
How is it that the two parties are likely to nominate candidates that about two-thirds of Americans don’t want?
Institutional journalism is dead, and the muckraking independent journalist would know exactly what we must all do.
Fox lies because lying is proving incredibly lucrative. It is lucrative because Fox’s flock wants to be lied to, expects to be lied to, demands to be lied to. The flock doesn’t want truth. It wants its prejudices and fantasies validated.
