The Sunday newspapers were filled with the logic and reason that we must not lose sight of while making our way forward over the coming weeks at reopening our state.
Trump is clueless, going from “liberate” blue states to publicly criticizing Georgia GOP Governor Brian Kemp for reopening as coronavirus spikes there.
COVID-19 has caused a lot of damage. Nobody would have wanted it to happen. But if all this results in a renewed concern for a clean environment, a movement for a stronger social safety net, and stronger neighborhoods and communities then there will have been at least some upside, even to plague.
As legislative Republicans take Gov. Tony Evers to court over his COVID-19 policy, the WisOpinion Insiders, Chvala and Jensen, exchange views on what both sides need to do to confront the pandemic. Sponsored by Michael Best Strategies and the Wisconsin Counties Association.

Hosting a 2007 fundraiser for Obama in her living room propelled Mary Lang Sollinger’s deep dive into activism.
After the announcement of the extension last Friday we heard from hundreds of constituents with frustrations at the extension.
The growing protests against public health measures being used to fight COVID-19 appear at first glance to look a lot like the early tea party rallies in 2009. If we’re headed for a repeat of that period that would be very bad news, but there’s reason to think times are different.
As Wisconsin navigates the return to “normal,” the construction industry is ready to help. We’ve learned a lot from our experiences.
University of Wisconsin Regents may want to use the current calamity facing the university system to re-think many of the ways it does business.
Will bad feelings linger over Cavalier Johnson’s victory?
I came to know Gaylord Nelson as a dear friend and as his politics partner in fighting the good fights. He would want us to remember 50 years on that his was a fight for justice.
It was on April 22, 1970, that college campuses around the country, national conservation and environmental organizations and just plain ordinary citizens staged events ranging from teach-ins to festivals, from river and lake clean-up parties to hikes through nature. The number of people taking part was estimated to be in the millions.
Move would stress support and health care systems throughout the state.
Governor Evers expects the entire state to take his commands on faith and to trust him without question.
He was reminding every politician that in a functioning democracy, electoral power is time limited and borrowed from the voters. That is a very important statement for a conservative Republican to make — especially now when so many elected officials think they own their office.
Many voters in red counties opposed him, perhaps in anger at being forced to vote in a pandemic.
Vos’ nightmare came true. In the state Supreme Court race, the liberal-backed Jill Karofsky did overwhelmingly better in mail-in voting than conservative-backed Daniel Kelly.

While deaths and positive tests for COVID-19 have risen, we’ve sunken deeper into our political camps. So far, the data supports that we should have acted earlier, both nationally and locally, to put guidelines and resources in place to assist residents during this time.
