A child has died of COVID in Wisconsin every 208 days, but a child has been murdered in Milwaukee once every two weeks. An additional 149 children have been injured in nonfatal shootings, meaning that a child is 65 times more likely to be shot or killed in Milwaukee than to die of COVID.
Some of the communities’ brightest thinkers and experienced experts have taken part in the discussions, a hallmark of the Idea Fest format.
Petition opposes Cardinal-Hickory Creek power line through wildlife refuge
States supporting Trump have much greater chance of COVID-19 deaths. Biden’s mandates bail out governors afraid to act.
Nearly three years since Evers took office, some 150 of his appointments have received no confirmation votes.
Kleefisch, in addition to Walker’s pro-big business, anti-worker stances, would bring right-wing extremism and intolerance to the governor’s office.
A year and a half after COVID-19 and Evers’ disastrous lockdown orders unleashed a flood of unemployment claims, lawmakers are still taking calls from constituents about delayed or frozen claims because they can’t get through to DWD.
Solar energy is already a growing part of the mix and will continue to expand. Whether a huge transition happens soon enough to make a difference is still at question.
It’s happening in DC, why not Wisconsin?
Since the Trump administration de-listed the wolf last January, some states — at the behest of radical groups and over the objections of responsible hunters and wildlife managers — have initiated wolf hunts that are scientifically unjustified and ethically wrong.
A leader in election lies and demagoguery has become a state Republican power.
U.S. Rep. Scott Fitzgerald, R-Juneau, says the tyranny of President Joe Biden’s COVID-19 vaccine mandates is only equaled by the hypocrisy of the Big Government set.
Biden’s most recent executive action mandating vaccines in the workplace could fail because it adversely affects people of color.
The Value of the public’s trust is priceless: Chantia Lewis is not the first alderperson to face criminal charges and it is unlikely that she will be the last. And it’s unfortunate because Milwaukee deserves to have elected officials that can be respected and trusted.
Giving more per year than any recent predecessors. But far behind ‘Julius the Just.’
I’m going to go out on a limb and predict that Gov. Tony Evers will win a second four-year term in November, 2022. Here are a handful of reasons.
America is increasingly becoming a country where if you work hard, play by the rules, take care of your family, and live up to your responsibilities, you are a chump. Not only are you a chump, but you are held in contempt by those who want what you have.
Sen. Bernie Sanders and I were talking last week about the state of the American union movement and our conversation turned toward Sara Nelson, the dynamic labor leader who has emerged as the new face of organized labor.
Highway expansion opponents recommend converting stadium freeway into a boulevard, propose new alternative plan for I-94.
More than 11,000 acres that absorb rainwater before it rushes south have been preserved from development.
