A group of “Build Back Better” protesters chased U.S. Senator Kyrsten Sinema into the bathroom at Arizona State University. They literally taped her going into a stall. This is totally outrageous. It is also illegal.
The “Party of Dane County” can squeak out statewide wins by running up huge numbers and margins here, but it can’t take back the Legislature that way. For that it needs to bring an endangered species back from the brink of extinction: the moderate Democrat.
I don’t have any suggestions on how Madison could recognize a politician who has meant so much to its success. But it should find a way.
The WisOpinions Insiders, Chvala and Jensen, discuss the People’s Maps Commission’s first contribution to Wisconsin’s redistricting battle. Sponsored by the Wisconsin Counties Association and Michael Best Strategies.
In Dane County government, most elected officials actually want the system to solve problems for ordinary people, which is what an overwhelming majority of constituents want from them.

As Sen. Roger Roth pursues reorganization of the University of Wisconsin System, he has a chance to put Wisconsin in the vanguard for getting every invaluable child off to a successful life and career.
For all their talk about “fair maps,” liberals whistle a different tune when said maps threaten their political power.
Gov. Evers has committed $130 million to meeting Wisconsin’s long-term workforce needs, including Workforce Innovation Grants of up to $10 million per project.
The spark of rebellion is still flickering and in Wisconsin it lies in a teenaged girl whose civil disobedience has exposed the absurdity of her city’s quarantine rules and made her into something of the state’s Joan of Arc.
It’s a term often used when things are going well. But it cuts both ways.
If any reputable business operated like Johnson does as a U.S. senator, its CEO would be booted by the board of directors.
