With the flag, the pledge of allegiance and the national anthem under siege, steadfast pride in country is paramount.

This isn’t just a case of a senator spouting nonsense. This is a matter of health and safety.

Waubeka, Wis., is home to around 680 people, but that number skyrockets to 10,000 on June 14th when visitors flock to the tiny town to celebrate Flag Day at the holiday’s place of birth.

My colleagues and I wrote legislation to end the supplement so we can encourage workers to come back to the workforce. Unfortunately, Gov. Tony Evers is expected to veto it, and he is wrong to do so.

Now that Wisconsin’s budget projection shows a big surplus in the coming biennium, Assembly Speaker Robin Vos isn’t interested in using some of the money for more aid to schools and broadband expansion, arguing instead that it should be returned to the taxpayers because they’re the hardworking people who made the surplus possible.

Democratic Gov. Tony Evers and Republicans who control the Legislature got a stunning update on state government’s cash position from Lang: Tax collections will be $4.4 billion higher than expected by mid-2023.

The Joint Finance Committee invested $100 million for local, rural roads and increased General Transportation Aids in both years of the biennium.

Republican U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson denounced Biden’s Tulsa speech as “awful and so incredibly divisive.”

The powerful video-sharing company removed a video of a speech given by Sen. Ron Johnson of Wisconsin and banned him from uploading new videos for at least seven days.

Each embraces a no-drama, commonsense approach to the pandemic and the economy, which is spot-on both on policy and politics.

The rationale behind laws to limit learning about racism.

Gov. Tony Evers has more than $5 billion at his disposal to spend on any number of COVID-19-related relief efforts, yet he can’t seem to find a fraction of that windfall to re-open the storied historical sites his administration ordered shut down last fall.

Two very different COVID-19 responses produce different economic outcomes in Hudson, Wis., and Stillwater, Minn.

Former Wisconsin governors Jim Doyle, a Democrat, and Scott Walker, a Republican have come together for the better health of our state. They have joined efforts to enlist their fellow citizens to get vaccinated so to stem the spread of COVID.

It’s breathtaking the amount of money Republicans are determined to turn away on behalf of the people of Wisconsin.

That’s how much federal pandemic aid city is getting. A participatory budget process is needed.
