The F-35 project is an example of commercial greed at its most indefensible. It has no place in Madison or anywhere else in Wisconsin.
The column below reflects the views of the author, and these opinions are neither endorsed nor supported by WisOpinion.com. The Wisconsin Legislature has been working hard to re-establish a Budget Stabilization Fund, also known as our Rainy Day Fund. It
The money that the state budget authorized for helping fund the Center For Suicide Awareness has not yet been allocated.
After much debate and a second vote by the County Board, Washington County will have a county executive. The structural change in government offers the citizens of Washington County an opportunity to reset the direction of the county for years to come.
If your community has a good local news source, use it, or you’ll lose it. The demise of outlets like local daily newspapers and news radio stations is bad news for our communities.
The tragic Wisconsin case involving the 10-year-old girl charged with homicide demonstrates the need to re-examine whether young children should be facing the most serious adult penalties in the adult criminal justice system, as opposed to being held accountable in the juvenile system.
Wisconsin voters should encourage GOP legislators to do right: ring the Madison Capitol Square with posters of GOP governors and legislators from around the nation on why they supported Medicaid expansion for their states.
Even as Trump conjures up the forces of darkness, this time, from now on, the Republicans’ imaginary nightmares can be beaten off by reminding the public of the real nightmares invading the waking moments of children and parents – not just border horrors but school shooting drills unlike the automatic fire drills and even A-bomb drills of our youths that everyone knew were a distant unlikely worry. Nothing distance about an assault weapon intruder. These monsters have become a palpable reality for every family in the nation.

With candidates maneuvering for the congressional seat being vacated by Rep. Sean Duffy, R-Weston, on Sept. 23, WisOpinion Insiders Chvala & Jensen handicap which party has the better chance to win the seat. Sponsored by the Wisconsin Counties Association and Michael Best Strategies.
This will be the third annual and, from what the schedule portrays, promises to be better than the first two, both of which received rave reviews from the hundreds who attended.
Wisconsin is the lagging hind end of the progressive charge, a limping straggler unable to make up its mind on important statewide contests. And without local enthusiasm, the progressive wave will crash against rocky shores.
Congressman Jim Sensenbrenner will be justifiably lauded for his accomplishments. He has truly been an anchor for Wisconsin Conservatism for a generation and an instrumental part of Wisconsin’s history. But I hope he will also be lauded for never losing sight of the fact that he was, first and foremost, a representative, in the full and truest sense of that word.
Long-term school funding, teacher experience, student test scores are all down.
Baldwin cannot vote for billions of dollars for war and claim to be a progressive.
Which is why the North Carolina plan was overruled. Wisconsin’s is very similar.
Er, make that coffee hauses. Run by robots. And made to order in “Wisconn Valley.”
