Imagine the potential psychological and human toll if this shutdown continues indefinitely, unemployment reaches 20% or higher, as some now predict, and we sink into a deep recession or depression.
Many states doing better, data suggests. Milwaukee County looks behind, too.
Is it really wise or noble to sacrifice our way of life, even for a moment, in an effort to save a small percentage of the population– when it seems possible, and perhaps even probable, we are not even pursuing the most effective strategies to protect that vulnerable, small percentage of our population? We should stop conceding our right and duty to think and decide on such questions to the health experts who occupy unelected offices.
In recent weeks, some northern Wisconsin counties have drawn a COVID-19 line asking visitors to stay away—the opposite of the welcoming and inviting messages they have spent millions of dollars sending over decades—and threatening those that do come.
It’s no wonder he’s been elected for 64 years. He has stood for what’s good about Wisconsin and its people.
The television ads urging support for Marsy’s Law to grant equal rights to crime victims may sound reasonable. But a careful review of Marsy’s Law and the grave damage that enacting it could do to every accused citizen’s constitutional rights is anything but reasonable — it is dangerous.

With Wisconsin residents under Gov. Tony Evers’ stay-at-home order, the WisOpinion Insiders, Chvala and Jensen, consider how the COVID-19 pandemic is reshaping political organizing and the issues important to voters. Sponsored by Michael Best Strategies and the Wisconsin Counties Association.
This column is a follow-up about the long-term strategic path of the Cap Times, but it seemed necessary to acknowledge the pandemic as the elephant in the room.
