The threat of climate change and the economic opportunity of clean energy are clear as day, and Gov. Evers and I have made it a priority to address the threat and leverage the benefits.
Voters in Wisconsin — and other crucial swing states — have no trouble seeing the impeachment circus for the sham it is. We’ll be ready to re-elect President Trump in November 2020.
By resisting judge’s order to purge voter rolls, state commission resists voter suppression.
There are dozens of open county and local elected offices across the state for which nobody is running yet. It is impossible to have a system of self-governance if nobody actually runs for office.
They swear an other to be impartial; anything less is highly inappropriate.
Property taxpayers have a hidden cost on their bills this month. According to the Department of Public Instruction, this hidden fee will cost the 27th Senate District $3.1 million, and upwards of $95.6 million statewide. If left unchecked, this fee — voucher schools — will increase year after year without oversight or authority.
If Gov. Tony Evers and his environmental extremist team have their way, Wisconsin could have some of the most stringent drinking water standards on so-called PFAS chemicals in the world — at a potentially devastating and unnecessary cost to businesses, critics say.

What good is it to have access to health care if you can’t afford it? This is why some doctors are beginning to offer direct primary care (DPC) services.
Report shows how Republicans in Wisconsin, four other states can kill bills most voters support.
Throughout his adult life, Skornicka was one of the UW’s biggest champions, if not its biggest. From his days as a student to when he became an assistant chancellor before stepping down to run for mayor, he saw the university as a Wisconsin gem — a job creator, an economic engine for the entire state and a molder of a solid citizenry.
Key city agency seems to be in very big trouble. Why?
Nuclear weapons seem to get less attention than other critical issues like climate change and healthcare. But, given the President’s sole authority over nuclear weapons, we really should be hearing more from the candidates.
