While not headline-grabbing, Gov. Tony Evers’ proposed state budget creates a structural deficit of over $1 billion. If enacted, Evers’ budget almost certainly would require the next budget to enact drastic tax increases or massive cuts in public services such as medical assistance or K-12 education.
The governor has proposed $59 million to upgrade Whitewater’s Winther Hall, which is home to classes for aspiring teachers. UW-Whitewater graduates more future teachers than any other college in Wisconsin, public or private.
The new left’s intersectionality, gender theory and other woke nonsense excuses and supports imperialism resulting in an old fashioned corporate economic pillage while condoning killing of other (mostly poor) people in their (mostly poor) countries.
A storm of interesting progressives are mounting on the Democratic side, making the primary on August 9, 2022, the real election.
The Trump ilk are mad that Justice Hagedorn applied the facts, or lack thereof, to the law, which is what every other court in the United States did when Trump attempted to usurp the election results.
Federal court rejects MacIver Institute’s demand for access to governors’s press briefings.
President creates a commission to expand the court.
President Biden, drawing on his long experience, has come to the right conclusion.
But real progress will require specific policy changes.
As we celebrate Earth Day, we must remember that we have to create technology and advancements that are both inclusive and accessible to everyone.
Gaylord Nelson made it clear that our environment is all-encompassing and that a clean Earth is essential for everyone’s well being.
Farmers fully understand in order to yield a successful crop, we need our vast natural resources.
The WisOpinion Insiders, Chvala and Jensen, offer suggestions on spending federal COVID-19 relief funds as GOP legislators shape the state budget.
After the nation’s intense focus on Derek Chauvin’s conviction, it’s clear that racial topics will dominate elections and influence all public policy.
Pandexit is a word for all of this. The messy, hard, exciting, confusing, unfair, hopeful, maddening, joyous end stage of the pandemic.
Gov. Tony Evers’ budget proposal calling for the creation of a public option plan — allowing people to buy into the state’s Medicaid program — could be devastating to cash-strapped rural hospitals, many already “just holding on.”
Wisconsin state Sen. Chris Larson, a Milwaukee Democrat, pointed out years ago that the Legislature’s exemption from the state’s open records retention law is an invitation to corruption.
Green Bay City Attorney Vanessa Chavez set out to write a report clearing Mayor Eric Genrich of any blame in the mishandling of November’s election. She accidentally proved that Green Bay conducted an unlawful election.
Much needs to drastically change all over the Midwest, and the upcoming trial for the Milwaukee police officer who killed Joel Acevedo is going to be an important moment for police accountability.
ICE does have a legitimate role in keeping our communities and our nation safe — including from narcotics and human trafficking — but not at the expense of the trust local departments have built over time with their communities, and not by burdening them with extra duties and costs that divert from their mission.
