Evers fails to lead on Lincoln Hills.
For years our state legislative leaders have not only failed to respond, but have refused to even debate the matter.
Many first served as local officials, many ran small businesses, some started as Capitol staffers.
The WisOpinion Insiders, Chvala and Jensen, discuss whether Lt. Gov. Mandela Barnes should run for the U.S. Senate seat held by Ron Johnson.

Right-wing forces have gone on the attack, seeking to whitewash our country’s centuries-long history of structural racism.
Systemic racism isn’t the hallmark of America; systemic altruism is. We are revolutionary in our kindness, our compassion, and our commitment to defending and protecting all people, regardless of their race, their creed, or the color of their skin.

The Legislature’s Republican majority has beaten Gov. Tony Evers at his own game, effectively taking away the Democrat’s big veto threat with a smart budget maneuver.
