As Wisconsin navigates the return to “normal,” the construction industry is ready to help. We’ve learned a lot from our experiences.
University of Wisconsin Regents may want to use the current calamity facing the university system to re-think many of the ways it does business.
Will bad feelings linger over Cavalier Johnson’s victory?
I came to know Gaylord Nelson as a dear friend and as his politics partner in fighting the good fights. He would want us to remember 50 years on that his was a fight for justice.
It was on April 22, 1970, that college campuses around the country, national conservation and environmental organizations and just plain ordinary citizens staged events ranging from teach-ins to festivals, from river and lake clean-up parties to hikes through nature. The number of people taking part was estimated to be in the millions.
Move would stress support and health care systems throughout the state.
Governor Evers expects the entire state to take his commands on faith and to trust him without question.
He was reminding every politician that in a functioning democracy, electoral power is time limited and borrowed from the voters. That is a very important statement for a conservative Republican to make — especially now when so many elected officials think they own their office.
Many voters in red counties opposed him, perhaps in anger at being forced to vote in a pandemic.
Vos’ nightmare came true. In the state Supreme Court race, the liberal-backed Jill Karofsky did overwhelmingly better in mail-in voting than conservative-backed Daniel Kelly.

While deaths and positive tests for COVID-19 have risen, we’ve sunken deeper into our political camps. So far, the data supports that we should have acted earlier, both nationally and locally, to put guidelines and resources in place to assist residents during this time.
Wisconsin needs to start taking prudent steps toward ending this shutdown and re-starting our state; lives and livelihoods depend on it.
There’s is one chance to open up businesses safely and do so in such a way as to gain the trust of the citizens. Prematurely popping the top for the Tavern League before state leaders and professionals deem it appropriate would lead to more virus cases, deaths, and even more business closures.
Gov. Tony Evers’ “Badger Bounce Back” plan is so unattainable and so impossibly vague that the only bouncing many struggling businesses could reasonably expect is a “dead cat bounce” when this endless shutdown finally forces them to close for good.
There were some frustrating partisan squabbles along the way, but the relief that American workers need to help them through the coronavirus pandemic is finally arriving.
On April 6, the Wisconsin Supreme Court — its members meeting under emergency procedures intended to protect their own health — issued an order that had the practical effect of requiring Wisconsin voters who had not already received an absentee ballot to visit a polling place on April 7 and vote in person if they wished to cast a ballot in the spring election.
The dirty secret of the Republicans’ effort to suppress Democratic voters is that it has always prevented some Republicans from voting as well. Never was that more true than in this latest election.
Voter suppression, elections rigged by partisan gerrymandering of legislative and congressional districts, and other glaring signs of creeping fascism have become too conspicuous not to notice.
This April marks the 50th anniversary of Earth Day, founded by Wisconsin native Gaylord Nelson, a former governor and U.S. senator. WisPolitics.com held a virtual lunchtime event on Tuesday, April 21 entitled “Earth Day: the Next 50 Years.” Headlining the
