After 25 years I am left with one question. As I look into the eyes of my veterans who carry the scars, the symptoms, the suffering of military service, I ask myself, “Was the cause worth the cost?”
Sept. 11 set the scene for a cursed 21st century so far.
I will say in the open what people have been whispering: Madison Metropolitan School District is as troubled as Milwaukee Public Schools is.
UW-Stout Polytechnic’s applied learning, career focus are responsible for an $858 million economic boost and 9,400 jobs statewide.
The main effect of the actual policy Vance is promoting will be to make the lives of already stressed working-class families, especially in Wisconsin, even harder, more expensive and noticeably worse than before.
The fest begins Friday, Sept. 18, and concludes on Saturday, Sept. 26, featuring 29 mostly in-person sessions over nine days.
It’s not that hard-to-believe endings to games haven’t happened before. But the introduction of gambling and the huge amounts of money at stake has added a new layer of conspiracy theories on why the improbable happens.
A simmering feud is emerging in Wisconsin’s higher-education “family.” Settling it in a way that helps all types of students, from those seeking job-related certificates to those pursuing four-year or graduate degrees, is a job that will fall to the next governor and Legislature.
Are the current maps partisan? Anti-competitive? Supreme Court must decide.
The odds are pretty good that after all the dust settles in November we’ll have some form of divided government in Wisconsin, just as we do now.
Our campaign is powered by regular folks, not the rich.
James Wigderson is a conservative Republican who doesn’t support Donald Trump. That has turned him into an embattled Don Quixote of the right, tilting at MAGA windmills and defending traditional conservative policies.
News coverage of gun violence should not be stripped of its visceral reality.
My son donated his liver, both kidneys, and his heart. Somewhere out there, people are alive today because of who my son was — because of the kind of young man he chose to be, even at 18 years old.
If economic pressures and other realities make it difficult to persuade voters that things are going well, Republicans likely will turn to a different argument: Things may not be perfect, they might say, but Democrats would only make them worse. Republicans in Ohio are already testing versions of that argument in the state’s closely watched Senate race.
Most Americans feel the economy has gotten worse, and are finding it harder to balance their budget as they buy groceries and gas and pay for housing, insurance and healthcare.
The passing of King Harald V on Aug. 28 was a sad day for Norway. His son now King Haakon VIII will take the throne.
Crowley and Tiffany are essentially punting on the biggest affordability issue in the state and nation: Health costs are projected to rise by more than 9.5% in 2027.
Crowley’s tech contributions neutralize a Dem talking point.
For Wisconsin, the key question is not whether the digital economy should grow. It is who pays for that growth, who benefits and who bears the risk.
