While the Libertarians have not won statewide elections in Wisconsin, they have elected a number of members to county and municipal posts over the years. And, at several turns, they have influenced the politics of the state.
Nothing will be done to address America’s embarrassing love affair with gun violence unless those who grovel and bow before organizations like the NRA are kept from holding office.
There are local, state and federal efforts to address Wisconsin’s broadband gap, and there is a need to streamline and integrate these programs, including addressing definitions and eligibility requirements that help ensure residents without broadband access receive the services that they need.
Will patients/consumers of Froedtert Health and ThedaCare be better off after the just announced merger of the two Wisconsin health systems?

Eliminating literary art installation in preparation for Republican National Convention?
In Wisconsin,146,008 children are alone and unsupervised after school.
A blend of old and new can be found in Milwaukee’s “Food for Health” enterprise.
Baldwin’s announcement she’ll run again fits the political moment.
The concept of “personhood” has important implications in both legal and ethical realms.
Low-wage workers actually come out ahead by cutting back on their hours to stay eligible for benefits. Under the system that’s in place, the poor are damned if they do work and damned if they don’t.
