As schools across Wisconsin now debate and decide how to reopen in the Fall, every family in the state needs to be aware of the fact that they have options.
What will emerge when it’s all over?
Wisconsin’s ongoing unemployment crisis is a national embarrassment. It is very disappointing to see that this governor and his team have failed a key test of leadership while knowing that Wisconsinites are paying the price.
Some old and shopworn gossip has gotten new enthusiasm in the public sphere because it comes from the inside, the tales from her childhood into her 50s by his only niece, Mary Trump.
States will need to use caution as they make revenue and spending decisions amid the ongoing public health crisis, but tax policy can play a valuable role in a state’s economic recovery, and policymakers ought to give careful consideration to tax policy changes that would help the state recover faster.
Much has been written about how the companies in the industry failed to take steps to protect their workers and how government regulators stood on the sidelines and did nothing as the virus spread through the plants. What has been overlooked is the role that union officials played in allowing the situation to spiral out of control.
It is the height of disrespect to tell us that “all lives matter” when this nation has, since its inception, proven to us that only our bodies matter, not our lives as living, breathing human beings. How can all lives matter when ours don’t?
Trump’s chief of staff says administration prepping plan to send troops to Democratic-run cities like Milwaukee.
The work that Stubbs has done in the Legislature on racial justice issues has been vital.
Nearly twice as much funding for mostly white UW-Madison students than for mostly minority MATC students.

It’s real and affects all our policies and institutions.
Efforts are underway to restore the two statues and commission a new one in honor of Vel Phillips.
Under Bartlett, Governor Evers — and all future governors, of whatever party — will need to apply the partial veto much more judiciously.
While some may think the virtual college experience of this past spring was just a temporary measure to help combat COVID-19, it too will be here to stay as part of this new normal.
U.S. Rep. Glenn Grothman said the $2 trillion-plus congress spent on pandemic relief was higher than it needed to be as the U.S. debt climbs to $26.5 trillion. He said another spending bill would be irresponsible.
As we enter what is sure to be a contentious election season, what will you do to infuse your disagreements with civility and kindness?
Alderwoman will collect second full-time salary as state legislator for eight months.
With redistricting on the horizon, the WisOpinion Insiders, Chvala and Jensen, discuss which court should take up a likely legal challenge to redrawn Wisconsin congressional and legislative district boundaries.
The never-Trump interests in the GOP do the dirty work by continuing to drive home how Trump has utterly failed the people he promised to lift, while the Biden brain trust can focus on boosting their guy as an unthreatening agent for healing and economic innovation.
