Just before Christmas, Gov. Tony Evers announced his selection of Craig Thompson to be the next secretary of the Department of Transportation. While the choice has earned praise among road builders, supporters of good government and fiscal responsibility should be skeptical of the appointment.
Evers has learned that running for governor is much easier than doing the job. Campaign promises often have to be watered down, delayed or abandoned in the face of on-the-job realities.
He’s earned $2.3 million from government, and is already running for office again.
Governor who warned voters about evils of this city will now live here.
While we as a nation have had some dark times, one of the shining times in our nation is when President Kennedy challenged our country in 1961.
While looking into different issues, I have had cause to file open records requests with three local governments in recent months. The inconsistent responses reveal how challenging it still is for a Wisconsinite to hold his government accountable when government officials choose to be difficult.
Scott Walker is manufacturing the slowest possible ride into the sunset after being beaten for governor of Wisconsin in 2018.
The oaths of office seem to have become mere words inserted into a ceremonial inauguration, their meaning and role in democratic America often forgotten by politicians who apparently have no intention of putting the public’s interest first.

Please do your part to insure that disagreement does not become hate. We must seek common ground and work to understand each other; only then will we restore civility.
Wisconsin was once a model of clean and open government. No more. But with a new governor, it’s time to recommit to democracy.
The organization known as “Marsy’s Law for Wisconsin” has launched a major advertising push to put a “victims’ rights” amendment on the statewide April 2 ballot.
It’s not always what the mainstream media reports that raises red flags of bias. It’s what they don’t report.
RightWisconsin’s pundit panel shares predictions for the year ahead.
There’s no disgrace in losing an election. However, there is great disgrace in losing and then behaving the way Scott Walker has since the voters denied him a third term.
There are many issues where they can forge agreements — and lead the state forward.
