Why Wisconsin shouldn’t spend $100 million in taxpayer money to invest in private enterprise.
President Biden wants to restore the American Dream for workers. He strongly supports congressional passage of the Protecting the Right to Organize Act.
While individual law enforcement officers can be deeply civic-minded, anti-racist and community-motivated, the system of policing has gone wildly off track, with flawed training of law enforcement officers and an aggressive and sometimes militaristic culture.
The once powerful lobby that has played kingmaker in so many state and national elections, helping elect politicians who would steamroll grieving parents of murdered school children and survivors of mass shootings begging for help, is now on the ropes.
Congressmen Tom Tiffany and Scott Fitzgerald are asking for your money to prevent President Joe Biden from doing to America what Hugo Chavez did to Venezuela. No, really. We can’t make this stuff up.
Republicans are running scared, not only in Wisconsin, but throughout the country. As a futurist, I know the reason. It is demographics.
Liz Cheney, the third ranking Republican in the U.S. House of Representatives did not have a fast-enough horse to out-run the majority of GOP congressmen, including all five from Wisconsin, who wanted to shut her up as she consistently challenged former President Trump and his Big Lie that the November election was stolen from him.
The WisOpinion Insiders, Chvala and Jensen, consider policy shifts in state agencies as Gov. Tony Evers gains control of boards governing the DNR, the UW System and Department of Ag Trade and Consumer Protection.

Lessons from Great Recession can inform strategic choices for allocating American Rescue Plan dollars.
Republicans want to end the supplemental $300 per week unemployment benefits. Democrats say it’s not what’s keeping workers from going back to a job. I think they’re both wrong.
After two years as the Cap Times’ opinion editor, I’m returning to political reporting — and I couldn’t be more thrilled to make the move.
First rejected by Gov. Scott Walker, Wisconsin legislative Republicans continue to hold fast against taking more federal money to expand Medicaid eligibility.
If we are going to continue to rely on employers to provide Americans with access to health care, then it is our responsibility to implement programs, like BadgerCare, that extend healthcare access to those people who work jobs that, for whatever reason, do not provide them with insurance, including the self-employed.
The CDC has landed on the side of common sense — not insisting on 100% protection from this strange pandemic that has frozen the US for over a year.
If you are relying on WILL and the rest of the school choice lobby’s presentation of the facts to make decisions about the future of our state, hold on to your wallet.
