Regardless of whether you’ve been vaccinated, keep following the latest public health guidelines to reduce transmission. And encourage your elected officials to support common-sense gun laws, like expanded background checks and “red flag” laws, which allow family members or police to ask a court to take firearms from someone who’s considered dangerous.
Underly’s use of her Pecatonica School District email account to help build her campaign was “standard practice,” according to an Underly campaign spokeswoman. But a follow-up email obtained by Empower Wisconsin shows Underly worried about the risks of doing campaign work on taxpayer time.
Kaleem Caire’s One City Schools is succeeding despite progressives.
If you hope to share your personal worries, hopes or dreams with the committee’s 16 legislators at a hearing, here’s how to prepare.
The WisOpinion insiders, Chvala and Jensen, consider the federal COVID-19 package and whether Wisconsin needs the infusion of federal funds.
News organizations seem unable to resist giving wildly over-the-top attention to politicians who say and do outrageous things — and that’s a real problem.
Evers isn’t going for the boat; he’s looking to buy a yacht.
Our educational environment has been built around a concept of “race” which has determined who could and could not gain access to high quality, well funded education.
What is the Republican reaction to losing the most secure election in American history and how do they intend to stop that from happening in the future? Well, it’s the standard conservative go-to: voter suppression.
When asked this week why DHS officials quietly upped the number of nursing home deaths from 1,956 to 2,927, Evers rather perplexingly claimed that state investigators simply couldn’t figure out where thousands of COVID victims lived.
Democratic Gov. Tony Evers’ administration messed up the expiration date on the governor’s latest state mask mandate and then quietly “fixed” the error, an Empower Wisconsin review of executive order drafts finds.
Refund the federal dollars back to Wisconsin taxpayers … Rather than move the money around government or pick winners and losers, the most effective way for state and local officials to give people relief is to simply refund the federal stimulus dollars back to Wisconsin taxpayers.
Luke Hilgemann of Hunter Nation claimed in a column last Sunday that the February wolf hunt in Wisconsin did not go over its harvest quota by much, and that the hunt was based on sound science. He’s wrong on both counts.
The most troubling element of the board’s plan is prevent high school freshmen, sophomores, and juniors, with some exceptions for students who are failing one or more classes, from returning to the classroom at all this year.
In my lifetime I’ve watched the NRA evolve from an organization that promoted gun safety and education, especially for young people wanting to learn the art of hunting so they could join their fathers, into a super-charged bullying lobby that threatens anyone who has the audacity to suggest we need to get a handle on our nation’s overwhelming gun problems.
Once upon a time I used to joke that because I was born in Mississippi and raised in Wisconsin that I’m from Wississippi. Well, it’s no longer a joke, and it has more to do with the rampant racism here than it does with where I was born and raised.
From Los Angeles to New York, Milwaukee and Wauwatosa, police made similar mistakes.
Not by the Legislature. Instead court cases seek new policies to restrict voting.
Our hurts and our fears are deserving of renewed attention and sustained advocacy. Asian lives are deserving of so much more than heartbreak.
