The Lower Wisconsin Riverway is an outstanding example of the good people of Wisconsin living up to our stewardship obligation.
The big money people who have been free to plunder the country’s working class are all worked up about Warren’s plans to hold them accountable and require them to pay a fair share of taxes like most other Americans.
By moving forward with price transparency nationwide, the Trump administration is working toward a day when all Americans can enjoy these potential savings.
He needs to tone down the harsh rhetoric. It’s only adding to the divisiveness. We’re happier with the Governor’s decision to issue executive orders as a way to get something done in light of an obstructionist legislative majority.
If you love freedom and the rights afforded every American under the constitution, consider yourself warned: The only thing standing between Gov. Tony Evers and your right to keep and bear arms is the GOP majority in the Wisconsin Legislature.
Municipalities cannot just ignore gun laws from state and federal governments.

Back in April, the morning after she was elected, Rhodes-Conway told me she would try to be mayor for everyone, not just her younger progressive base. Half a year later in, with her first budget behind her, she appears to be doing just that.
“A Toast to Tony Earl” recaptured his long public service, but what was so striking about the event, emceed by former ambassador to Norway Tom Loftus, was its congeniality — Democrats and Republicans, friends and even some old political adversaries gathering together to remember old times when you could disagree but not become an enemy.
The longing to be Virginia – the state, that is — is particularly strong in Wisconsin, which on paper has a similar state political setup but little chance of duplicating that Nov. 5 election outcome.
