Dave Zweifel: With Dave Mahoney, we had America’s best sheriff
Dave Mahoney set a new standard during the 14-plus years he commanded the department.
Adam Jarchow: Toney is unfit to lead

It’s time to make clear that not everything has a price and that Wisconsin courts won’t be bought off.
Julie Grace and Jenna Bottler: Wisconsin voters overwhelmingly support criminal justice reform
In a state where voters split on nearly everything, we can all agree on the need for criminal justice reform.
Dave Cieslewicz: How woke might end
The intolerance of the hard-left will go out of fashion soon enough.
