Popular culture of the past seemed to have a greater sense of proportion, civility and basic decency about the deaths of famous people than our own social media-driven era.
The American public and the cable news stations are totally misguided on where they are putting their focus. Dogfights and who’s up and who’s down may seem important for ratings but they are nonsense so early in the primary game against Donald Trump.
No amount of your tax money will ever be enough to fund the Democrat’s bigger-government agenda.
The governor has announced that he’s appointing a nonpartisan commission to draw new legislative maps. Unfortunately, the Republican Legislature will do everything it can to undermine a fair process.
Pridemore’s early announcement should not discourage a competitive primary in the district. His announcement highlights a desperate need for competition.
The people of Wisconsin have said loud and clear that we need real reform that lifts up workers. That is why I am proud to introduce legislation to increase Wisconsin’s minimum wage to $15 per hour, and to tie the minimum wage to inflation.
Shane was one of the original members of a hugely popular folk singing group of my era, “The Kingston Trio.”
The Democratic candidate for president should make the tremendous damage that Donald Trump’s administration is doing to our outdoors one of their three or four top issues.
Most think MPS needs more funding and would back it in April referendum, poll shows.
This proposed crime victims’ constitutional amendment will appear on Wisconsin’s April ballot, and, if approved by Wisconsin voters, will strengthen the rights of Wisconsin crime victims.
The odds heavily favor Tiffany in the GOP district. No one would knock Johnson for putting a hand on the shoulder of Church and provide the ‘favorite son’ endorsement.
Donald Trump wants another tax cut. Apparently running up a trillion-dollar-a-year deficit isn’t enough.
State Government licensing reform is an important area to improve and streamline, especially when any delay in obtaining a professional license can cause someone and their future employer time outside of the workforce.
Decisions from licensing boards are oftentimes arbitrary and unfair.
Feb. 20 is International Day of Social Justice, and one issue of social justice that doesn’t get enough attention is the link between homelessness and domestic violence.
Nine years later, taxpayers have saved billions of dollars thanks to Act 10, which remains in place despite several court challenges and Democrat Gov. Tony Evers’ empty threats to kill the law.
Iowa is a good place to start a presidential nominating process.
The people of Wisconsin value hard work and, like most Americans, they see employment as a path to a prosperous life. Regrettably, for policies toward low income families, some actions of Gov. Tony Evers have undermined this fundamental value.
A recent memo released by the nonpartisan Legislative Fiscal Bureau shows that vouchers caused $145 million in aid reduction to public schools. That amount is up 30% from last year, and this problem is only going to grow if it is not addressed.
