A new analysis shows that federal Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits do not cover the average cost of a meal in more than four in 10 counties in the United States. That includes 27 of 72 counties in Wisconsin.
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.

The WisOpinion Insiders, Chvala and Jensen, offer their views on how legislative redistricting will play out if Gov. Tony Evers and the GOP-controlled Legislature can’t agree on boundaries.
Milwaukee’s triumph in the NBA finals soothed Wisconsin sports disappointments and shined a positive national spotlight on the city and the state.
