Gerrymandered maps essentially preserved the majority party’s political advantage for the last decade.

Soaring inflation and a worker shortage crisis — driven by out-of-control government spending and economy-stalling liberal policies — are costing Wisconsin good jobs.

The WisOpinion Insiders, Chvala and Jensen, consider what impact U.S. Rep. Ron Kind’s retirement plans will have on Wisconsin’s 3rd CD and the makeup of the state’s congressional delegation. Sponsored by the Wisconsin Counties Association and Michael Best Strategies.

The Wisconsin gubernatorial contest — Evers’ bid for a second term — ranks among the more competitive of the nearly three-dozen governor’s races on the 2022 ballot, according to many election watchers.

More than 15 years later, it’s clear that ending local control of the minimum wage was a massive mistake.

A child has died of COVID in Wisconsin every 208 days, but a child has been murdered in Milwaukee once every two weeks. An additional 149 children have been injured in nonfatal shootings, meaning that a child is 65 times more likely to be shot or killed in Milwaukee than to die of COVID.

Some of the communities’ brightest thinkers and experienced experts have taken part in the discussions, a hallmark of the Idea Fest format.

Petition opposes Cardinal-Hickory Creek power line through wildlife refuge

States supporting Trump have much greater chance of COVID-19 deaths. Biden’s mandates bail out governors afraid to act.

Nearly three years since Evers took office, some 150 of his appointments have received no confirmation votes.

Kleefisch, in addition to Walker’s pro-big business, anti-worker stances, would bring right-wing extremism and intolerance to the governor’s office.

A year and a half after COVID-19 and Evers’ disastrous lockdown orders unleashed a flood of unemployment claims, lawmakers are still taking calls from constituents about delayed or frozen claims because they can’t get through to DWD.

Solar energy is already a growing part of the mix and will continue to expand. Whether a huge transition happens soon enough to make a difference is still at question.

It’s happening in DC, why not Wisconsin?

Since the Trump administration de-listed the wolf last January, some states — at the behest of radical groups and over the objections of responsible hunters and wildlife managers — have initiated wolf hunts that are scientifically unjustified and ethically wrong.

A leader in election lies and demagoguery has become a state Republican power.

U.S. Rep. Scott Fitzgerald, R-Juneau, says the tyranny of President Joe Biden’s COVID-19 vaccine mandates is only equaled by the hypocrisy of the Big Government set.

Biden’s most recent executive action mandating vaccines in the workplace could fail because it adversely affects people of color.

The Value of the public’s trust is priceless: Chantia Lewis is not the first alderperson to face criminal charges and it is unlikely that she will be the last. And it’s unfortunate because Milwaukee deserves to have elected officials that can be respected and trusted.

Giving more per year than any recent predecessors. But far behind ‘Julius the Just.’
