Our economy has been devastated by the necessary shutdown to flatten the coronavirus curve. When pandemic threats are in control and our country gets back to work, our economy would benefit from eliminating pay-to-play politics.
We need our government at all levels to immediately make substantial spending cuts in line with what is being asked of the private sector.
What has been sorely lacking is competent leadership from the White House and the Republican-led Senate, including WI GOP Senator Ron Johnson.
How do you collect signatures on nomination papers in the shadow of a safer-at-home, COVID-19 contagion?
The police state is making its presence known in the pandemic, even as coronavirus cases decline.
Another nine counties held non-binding referendums asking voters if they want independent, nonpartisan redistricting. All voted overwhelmingly “yes.”
While we wait for MLB to return, the WisOpinion Insiders, Jensen and Chvala, celebrate the end of the Miller Park sales tax by regaling the inside baseball that enabled the Milwaukee Brewers’ home stadium.

Contrasting state’s official description vs. inmate’s account of prison life during pandemic.
One would think the most well-known civil rights group in the country — the American Civil Liberties Union — would be busily fighting the #EversEdicts. Instead, in Wisconsin, where civil rights have been trampled at lightening speed, the Badger State branch of the ACLU has been completely MIA.
Other state legislatures and governors have already allocated hundreds of millions to support hospitals and health care providers. I want to make sure our community hospitals survive. The people on the front lines deserve our support. We must make them a priority.
Highway funding, which relies on the gas tax, will be hard hit as fuel sales decline
It is certain that with job losses and crashing incomes, hunger will deepen in America this year.
