A UW-Madison program that links university students and faculty with Wisconsin communities seeking research assistance is gaining traction.

The Democrat-controlled House last week passed the “Voting Rights Advancement Act.” It’s the latest in a line of noble-sounding legislation that cedes more power to the federal government and erodes election integrity.

If Milwaukee’s corporate leadership is sincere in wanting to address the city’s segregation and African American poverty, it needs to support the Fight for $15 living wage movement, recognize the right for workers to organize unions and engage in collective bargaining and support increased investments in public and public higher education.

Gov. Evers vetoes bill that would have helped aspiring certified nursing aides and eased CNA shortage in Wisconsin.

Instead of punishing those who work hard under adverse circumstances not of their own making, we need policies supporting them as they struggle to climb to higher income levels.

Wisconsin sticks out like a sore thumb among its neighbors — Minnesota, Iowa, Illinois and Michigan — all of which have voted to expand Medicaid under the the Obama administration’s Affordable Care Act.

Former Madison Mayor Joel Skornicka was a no-nonsense, effective leader who was kind and ruled without ego.

State sees 15% decline, Milwaukee County 26% drop in those covered by Obamacare.

At stake is whether justices will recuse themselves to avoid flagrant conflicts of interest.
