With seven million already having voted, it is high time to start introducing to the public the Senate hopefuls Biden is counting on, and thus encourage voters back in their home states to fill in more than his name on the ballot.
I have no love for racists. I don’t care about finding common ground with them. I think it is a fool’s errand to do so. If that racist person finds the moral compass which allows them to do what Frank Meeink did and disavow their racist views and redeem themselves in a real way, then I can find common ground with them. I will not do so prematurely.
Scott Walker was the first governor in the state’s history to stubbornly refuse to grant anyone — no matter the circumstances — a chance to get a fresh start on life.
The state’s refusal to identify specific schools with COVID-19 cases suggests a more pernicious problem: that officials don’t trust parents and students to have easy public access to information that could put schools or administrators in a negative light.
Now women teachers are earning less than men. It’s yet more proof: unions empower women.
Flying in the face of its stated commitment to racial equity and social justice, Madison is as racist and classist as less “progressive” cities — and when it comes to environmental justice, perhaps more so.
As Wisconsin U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson tested positive for COVID-19, the WisPolitics.com Insiders, Chvala and Jensen, ponder the polls and his future. Sponsored by Michael Best Strategies and the Wisconsin Counties Association.
Given the backdrop of chaos at the federal and even the state level, her plan strikes me as in sync with what most Madisonians want.
A study for WPR conducted by the Midwest Economic Policy Institute has found that the repeal of the laws has resulted in lower wages for construction workers in the state, but has not resulted in any statistically significant impact on the cost of public construction projects.
On Thursday, state Rep. Robyn Vining, D-Wauwatosa, broke her silence, but the statement was a vacuous gesture at best.
Republicans claim voting by mail will lead to fraud. But a Montana federal judge’s groundbreaking ruling says that’s a bogus argument.
Biden embodies exactly what we look for in a president and commander in chief.
Wisconsin does not benefit from being called out in national publications as a place where COVID-19 is unchecked. Elected politicians, business leaders and public health officials need to stop talking past one another and begin discussing solutions that will keep Wisconsin healthy without cratering its economy.
Restrictions should not be based on what a store sells or what type of business they are. Instead, government officials should turn their attention to whether a business is taking the right steps to keep people safe.
At a video press conference Wednesday, the governor seemed to shrug off concerns that his new emergency order capping public gatherings at 25 percent would devastate already struggling bars, restaurants and others in the hospitality trade.
Why won’t Vos and Fitzgerald support measures to contain the state’s pandemic surge?
Sharing and generosity are important American virtues and so is American individualism. The real question is: are parents aware of the values being taught in our public schools today? Do parents endorse the BLM curriculum?
Flying in the face of its stated commitment to racial equity and social justice, Madison is as racist and classist as less “progressive” cities — and when it comes to environmental justice, perhaps more so.
The column below reflects the views of the author, and these opinions are neither endorsed nor supported by WisOpinion.com. It felt better to be an American tonight. After last week’s chaotic confrontation – let’s not call it a debate –
Right now, Trump is fighting the Supreme Court to eliminate the entire Affordable Care Act — including its protections for people with pre-existing conditions. Should he succeed, the health and financial consequences will be catastrophic for our state.
