Sen. Julian Bradley and Rep. Chuck Wichgers unveiled bills that would stop liberal prosecutors like Milwaukee County John Chisholm and restorative justice judges from setting low or no bail for repeat offenders.
Wisconsin wasn’t one of them.
30 states have increased the minimum wage, leaving Wisconsin ever further behind.
Republican State Rep. Timothy Ramthun’s bill would get rid of the Wisconsin Elections Commission by June 30, 2023, and would transfer all the Commission’s duties to the Secretary of State.
The county executive from the politically competitive Fox River Valley has run an incredibly disciplined and determined campaign so far — very much in the style of former U.S. Sen. Bill Proxmire’s successful bids in the 1950s and early 1960s.
Toney sought to expand the injustice rather than do away with it. Does that sound like someone we want running, of all things, the Department of Justice?
As a woman of faith and a legislator that knows we can work through most problems, in spite of all that we are facing as a nation, I can still smile. I welcome 2022 and wish each of you a Happy New Year!
The two largest school districts in Wisconsin have said for nearly two years that they are merely following guidelines from federal and state health and education authorities, but on Saturday night—less than 24 hours before Posley pulled the plug on a return to the classroom—Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona said unequivocally that school should not be virtual this winter.

As we begin 2022, bidding good riddance to another awful year of political lies and deceit, we all better be resolved to do all we can do to save and rebuild American democracy.
Time for updates on some political leaders as we welcome 2022.
Columnist Bill Barth provides a tongue-in-cheek outline of Forecasters Anonymous’ predictions for the coming year.
I suggest that Wisconsin Democrats artfully and relentlessly define who today’s state Republicans actually are. It’s not your father’s or grandfather’s serious and austere GOP.
Voters must reject a dangerous demagogue such as Van Orden to represent the 3rd CD.
GOP leadership needs to support Nass’s fight against the administrative state.
Assembly Speaker Robin Vos has no standing to cast stones at others, not with his shabby record of wasting taxpayer dollars.
Assembly Democrats took an even harder turn left late last month, selecting Wisconsin’s version of AOC to serve as the leader of their small caucus.
As we prepare to embark on 2022, I hope we all look at the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and examine ourselves and the policies we uphold and support.
We should begin each new year with a faith in its possibility. That’s especially necessary in the year that is just now beginning.
Good riddance to 2021, a year when the bad news far exceeded the good. A saving positive, however, to end the year came unexpectedly in the form of a sharply lower tax picture for Wisconsin taxpayers.
