The Evers administration has made more than $250 million in federal funding available to stave off evictions and stabilize households for individuals and families affected by the pandemic.
What angers me is that we could be well beyond this seemingly endless crisis if as a nation we would have pulled together and put an end to this awful crisis by using the tools that are available to us.
Five years after four separate and independent investigations cleared former Wauwatosa Police officer Joseph Mensah of any wrongdoing in the shooting death of Jay Anderson, Milwaukee County Circuit Court Judge Glenn Yamahiro ruled that there was probable cause to charge Mensah with homicide by reckless use of a firearm.
While there may not be anyone living today that was responsible for the institution of slavery, there are many alive who have benefited from the chattel bondage that is the very foundation that this country is built upon.
Unlike Trump, Ryan has a keen understanding of constitutionality and the rules of Congress – assets for any president.
The WisOpinion Insiders, Democrat Chuck Chvala and Republican Scott Jensen, offer their political winners and losers halfway through 2021 as Wisconsin reopens from the pandemic. Sponsored by the Wisconsin Counties Association and Michael Best Strategies.
Many businesses will once again consider requiring employee vaccinations or regular testing if those employees refuse. Make no mistake: For most of those who refuse and who don’t qualify for specific exemptions, the law says they can be fired.

The bodies of enslaved Black people were America’s greatest financial asset and carved the way for the United States to be an economic leader in the world. It’s time for America to pay what they owe.
Investing in Wisconsin’s children, workers and retirees is the right thing to do and a necessary step towards restoring and retaining our state’s economic health, addressing income inequality, as well as strengthening our economy.
Education can, and must, be part of the solution to our country’s current divisiveness. While young people have always been idealistic, today’s students are practical idealists.
Recently I came across some data that really opened my mind to a new way of looking at the homeownership gap. This data provides a breakdown of homeownership based on age groups.
As a management guy, I keep pondering what the Packers might have done differently to keep Rodgers satisfied with his role. It’s not all about the money.
Assembly Democrats could have taken a step toward fixing perhaps the biggest challenge facing Wisconsin’s economy. Instead, they stood by “Gov. Veto” and the left’s pursuit of expanded government dependency.
Advocates for openness in government lost a champion last week with the passing of legendary Milwaukee journalist Bob Wills.
