Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley was once so gleeful about raising taxes on poor people that he celebrated by cutting a cake.
Exploring the mismatch between strong labor, business inputs and our lagging productivity and income outputs
Treat the very large customers as partners and the larger opportunity is grid, skills, and clean firm capacity that outlast any single tenant.
One of the biggest changes families will notice this fall is Wisconsin’s new statewide policy on cell phones in schools.
It’s an idea that deserves serious consideration.
To feel better about himself, the president threatens and denigrates millions of us with his hate and lies while violating the Constitution and lining his own pockets.
Black sailor who defended his shipmates and country during WWII could lose one of the Navy’s highest naming honors to a sitting president who got draft deferments and never served in the military.
The surviving communist regime in North Korea has belligerently threatened unspecified action due to joint military exercises involving South Korea and the United States. This is nothing new, nor are the exercises. What is new is the declaration by President Donald Trump that the exercises will be scaled back.
The WisOpinion Insiders, Chvala and Jensen, consider how the recent legislative primary will affect the November election. Sponsored by the Wisconsin Counties Association and the Tommy G. Thompson Center on Public Leadership.

Canada was the No. 1 destination for Wisconsin exports of all descriptions at $7.52 billion in 2025. Trade is a two-way street that led to Wisconsin importing $5.7 billion in Canadian products in 2025.
When the actual costs of artificial intelligence data center development are considered honestly, suddenly, opposition to AIDCs isn’t so stupid after all. The solution, then, to this “moral crisis” is readily apparent, and all it requires is a commitment to free market principles.
What specific policies should Wisconsinites demand from their political leaders on data centers?
Price transparency alone will not solve every problem with America’s health care system. But competition cannot work when consumers and employers cannot meaningfully compare prices.
Foodborne outbreaks point to several problems with our food system. One is consolidation. Whether it’s pork, eggs, lettuce, or strawberries, one or two companies often control the sector.
