As the spread of COVID-19 becomes a national health problem, the WisOpinion Insiders, Chvala and Jensen, grade the performance of President Donald Trump and Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers on their response to the pandemic. Sponsored by Michael Best Strategies and the Wisconsin Counties Association.
Republicans and Democrats will work together to defeat coronavirus.
Collectively, our state has a role to play for addressing public health challenges and making our communities healthier for all. Our capacity to empathize with others has the ability to save lives.
As compelling as the need to protect Wisconsin’s citizenry against Coronavirus may be, the need to protect the citizenry’s freedom will always take precedence.
The Marine Corps often refers to the concept of an 80/20 (or even 60/40) solution. This means that, under the gun, one should move quickly to implement the solution, whether it be 80 percent or 60 percent perfected, that most likely addresses most of the problem. You accept the imperfection of the solution, and anticipate that you can improve it as you go.
As the deadly COVID-19 pandemic sweeps through the country, we face an existential threat. That threat is tyrannical government. In Wisconsin especially, we risk the loss of our right to govern ourselves.
Market and economic troubles were at the core of upheavals in the late 1980s, early 2000s and 2008. The “Black Swan” of 2020 is a bird of a different feather, which makes it more difficult to follow for young companies and investors alike.
Corporations have already abused this law meant to provide crime victims special rights.
It’s been 25 years since Gail Shea quit her job with the then-Wisconsin Elections Board to become the executive director of a brand new nonprofit aimed at tracking the huge amounts of money being lavished on Wisconsin politicians.
Dane County Sheriff Dave Mahoney says his office has received some mind-boggling calls during the COVID-19 crisis — in-store fights over toilet paper, for example — but that he has been impressed overall with how people have coped under extremely difficult circumstances.
Can a governor effectively suspend economic activity in a state and impose strict restrictions on public life? The answer is not clear.
Social distancing doesn’t mean you have to forego your civic duty, especially in this electronic age. There are two big events coming up that you shouldn’t – and in one case mustn’t – skip: the April election and the 2020 census.
A Milwaukee Democrat accuses Wisconsin Republican Congressmen of “neglect and willful ignorance drenched in reckless abandon” for voting no on a bill they weren’t given time to read.
Getting buzz nationally. Is his critique warranted?
Does the governor’s administration have the authority to close down churches, especially when other exceptions are being made?
Let’s make sure we support each other through these hard times.
History tells us panic is the fastest way to expand government and curtail liberties.
Before Johnson makes any more shameful comments about any program aimed at making the lives of people run smoother during this pandemic, he might take the advice of grandmothers everywhere and look to see what in his own yard might first need tending.
U.S. Sen. Tammy Baldwin is the ideal crossover candidate. On the one hand, she can excite progressive voters. But she has also demonstrated that she can win over a much more moderate electorate in a general election.
State’s annual rainfall up by 7 inches and “100-year floods” now happen routinely.
