While some states are experiencing election crises this spring — for reasons beyond their control and for reasons they should have controlled — Wisconsin does not have to be one of them.
The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel suggests state Department of Health Services Secretary-designee Andrea Palm somehow can’t concentrate on the public campaign against the novel coronavirus because the Senate has yet to confirm her.
As more individuals are being tested across Wisconsin and confirmed cases are likely to rise, it’s crucial we all take this seriously.
The column below reflects the views of the author, and these opinions are neither endorsed nor supported by WisOpinion.com. There are thousands of coronavirus cases in the U.S., including dozens in Wisconsin. Americans are dying. Democratic and GOP governors are
Life will again return to normal, but it will take time, patience and sacrifice. In the meantime, let’s remember that we’re all in this together.
Isthmus’ Craig Bartlett makes a plea for supporting local businesses however we can.
In his first year-plus in office, Gov. Tony Evers and his administration have closed a lot of doors to open government, evidenced by the transparency and First Amendment lawsuits pending.
It was the first formal committee hearing on the budget squeeze faced by Wisconsin cities, towns and villages in years, and members of the Assembly Ways and Means Committee heard some sobering numbers.

Whether or not F-35s come to Madison, will our local, state and federal elected officials insist that the National Guard fully comply with the most protective health and environmental regulations and standards — and comprehensively investigate and clean up the base?
Senator Mike Lee of Utah joined the Thompson Center to discuss legislation relating to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act and a set of provisions scheduled to expire on March 15, 2020. Senator Lee began his tenure in 2010 and is a member of the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee.
It is a matter of time before Gov. Tony Evers announces that Wisconsin state government will go on hiatus — most of it, anyway — due to COVID-19.
Few people know Janesville or Rock County better than former Wisconsin State Sen. Tim Cullen, who proves the point again with his new book. It’s called “Disassembled,” and Cullen’s subtitle is a mouthful and a solid indicator of what readers can expect: “A native son on Janesville and General Motors, a story of grit, race, gender and wishful thinking and what it means for America.”
The data shows MPS trails other metro area districts in per-pupil spending.
While they thumbed their noses at farm assistance in 2019 and before, now they decided to go full bore. You wouldn’t be wrong to say that Evers’ call for a special session shamed them into it.
