There are so many important issues at stake in this fall’s elections — the future of free elections for one — that it would be a pity if the results are determined by misleading, nasty and often patently false TV attack ads aimed at instilling fear.
Paying no state income taxes on trust fund that pays for his million-dollar home.
Politicians who ignore what Wisconsin women care about do so at their own peril. The message is loud and clear: women care about their rights and will vote to protect them.
Gov. Tony Evers wants to increase spending by $2 billion; challenger Tim Michels wants to expand private school voucher program.
Underly, Evers, and their fellow shutdown apologists will crow that Wisconsin ranked among the top ten states on the Nation’s Report Card, but this is almost by default. Since every state’s scores were horrific, Wisconsin’s being merely nightmarish look great by comparison.
We are facing an educational crisis, and parents need options now.
The Waunakee Community School District is asking taxpayers to approve a $175 million capital referendum — the third most expensive such school tax ask in state history.
Given the costs and concerns, I think the best way to honor the victims who lost their lives to Dahmer is with an online memorial.
Wisconsin’s Green Fire, a nonprofit group that says its mission is “to protect Wisconsin’s conservation legacy” by “promoting science-based management of natural resources,” recently issued a report that says the Legislature and state agencies are in the vice-like grip of powerful lobbyists led by Wisconsin Manufacturers and Commerce.
The Bobby Newport-ification of Tim Michels, a State Senate candidate at the Capitol on Jan. 6, early voting rapidly approaching, and much more.
Let’s play “what if” either Tony Evers or Tim Michels prevails in the tightly contested race for Wisconsin governor two weeks away.
The U.S. Department of Education on Monday released the National Assessment of Educational Progress on reading and math, and the results once again show the widest achievement gap between black and white students in the country.
School choice advocates sharpen their pens for a new round of privatization lobbying
Whatever the outcomes of the November election the governor and Legislature must empower the Wisconsin Election Commission to employ civility and decency standards in all future campaign ads.
There is not a field of study, job, or sport that we women have not proven that they can excel. We are formidable opponents and we carry our weight. Yet, with the slight of a hand, we can be underpaid, undervalued, and just “under.”
Walsh won this day as he wanted exposure and an angry reaction. Meanwhile, the art of dialogue and conversation, something a university should excel at, took a loss.
Welcome to the Big Tech Censorship Guild.
Michels prevailed in the primary by aligning his candidacy with Trump, ideologically and stylistically.
From his efforts to eviscerate the state’s successful manufacturing tax incentive to his extreme climate change agenda, the liberal governor’s policies have shown he’s no friend of Wisconsin manufacturers and the hundreds of thousands of people they employ.
Tony Evers is choosing to release violent criminals. He could stop it, but he is not doing so because he wants it to happen. He wants violent felons to be released into our communities because social justice politics is more important to him than victims and their families.
