Republican candidate for governor, Rebecca Kleefisch, says Milwaukee County District Attorney John Chisholm must be held accountable for the low bail that freed the man suspected of mowing down scores of victims in the Waukesha Christmas Parade.
Reflections on the state of journalism in an age of social media and a polarized American public.
O’Donnell tells the story of an American soldier who gave what he could to make the holiday a little merrier for those in need.
With a long tradition of clean elections and high voter turnout, Wisconsin is now the home of continuing, costly and baseless efforts to discredit the November 2020 election.
Democratic Gov. Tony Evers says he can’t do anything to remove Chisholm unless he receives a complaint from a Milwaukee County taxpayer. And now, as if on cue, Democratic Wisconsin Attorney General Josh Kaul evades accountability and says the voters should decide whether to remove Chisholm if Chisholm runs for reelection.
Why do so many Americans know more about the two people who were shot and killed as part of self-defense during the riots in Kenosha in 2020 than they do about the six innocent people who were mowed down with a red SUV by a career criminal in the Waukesha Christmas Parade?
Estate planning is essential.
For too long Wisconsinites have had to pay too much to get the prescription drugs that we depend on.
Even if BBB had passed, Democrats probably would have been punished for their good deed, just as they were after they passed Obamacare. In an unexpected way, Manchin may have given them a new lease on life.
Manchin said Bah! Humbug! to Biden’s Build Back Better.
The investments included in the Biden’s Build Back Better Act are not only what working families need, it’s what a majority of people want, too.
With the exception of one PSA in late 2020 supporting masking and social distancing, Vos has done nothing. He hobbled almost every attempt by Democratic Gov. Tony Evers to control the pandemic.
We have seen American workers who got us through one of the most difficult periods in our nation’s history now become targets for abuse, mistreatment or treated with indifference.
Hintz announced he will step down next month as leader of the 38 Assembly Democrats, who will soon pick a new leader.
Evers for weeks has been hiding behind the law, asserting he can’t open an investigation into Chisholm’s conduct until he receives a verified complaint — with affidavits — from a taxpaying Milwaukee County resident. Now, he has no more excuses.
The intersectional worldview that hooks brought to the dozens of books and essays she wrote after earning a master’s in English from the UW in 1976 was much noted last week, when word came of her death at age 69.
As universities and colleges nationwide prepare for what could be a major competition for federal research dollars, partnerships that set themselves apart from the pack may stand the best chance to emerge on top.
The WisOpinion Insiders, Chvala and Jensen, consider Wisconsin’s bail laws in light of the recent deadly Waukesha parade tragedy, the suspect in which was free on a low-dollar bond. Sponsored by the Wisconsin Counties Association and Michael Best Strategies.
The Illinois congressman is a brave but lonely Republican opponent of Donald Trump. He wants the left in places like Madison to grasp the peril he sees.
Pretrial risk assessment should be expanded, not scrapped, advocates say.
