UW students already demonstrate a healthy approach to football by showing up late to games. They might do even more for social justice when they stop showing up at all.
We should want people on the Supreme Court of the United States who are of high character, possess extraordinary legal minds, and spend their time in the mainstream of legal thought. All of this is true of both Kavanaugh and Kagan. It is also noteworthy when the nominee or justice has an interest in legal and civic education in Milwaukee and beyond.
The WisOpinion Insiders, Jensen & Chvala, analyze the governor’s race post-primary. Sponsored by Michael Best Strategies and the Wisconsin Counties Association.
Bizarrely, these Trump guys align themselves with a fellow who has never shown a scintilla of personal courage or physical toughness. Face it, Trump is just a preening, silver-spoon bully who prefers that real sacrifice be made by others.
This race won’t be a cakewalk for Baldwin. Three months out from November, she’s quickly going to learn that her own decisions as Wisconsin’s junior senator might be what costs her the election. She’s never proven she’s been for us.
The adage stolen from the baseball classic “Field of Dreams” — build it and they will come — is being proven once again by our insatiable appetite to build bigger and wider highways.
Nearly all the manufacturing will be done by robots, company says.
Edge Messaging’s Brian Fraley talks with colleague Dan Deibert about the latest Marquette University Law School Poll.
So claims a NYT story. But the party generally fares better by allowing differing views.
We have the sitting Republican governor running for reelection, Donald Trump and legislative Republicans lying through their teeth about Foxconn. Evers won’t say a word.
Wisconsin’s event barn owners and operators are unhappy about the direction of a legislative study committee on the state’s alcohol distribution laws so far. These “wedding barn operators,” as they’re commonly known, have good reason to be concerned.
As the flood waters recede, let’s hope that the plainly obvious significance of public spending and public service so evident in Wisconsin’s flood-ravaged communities doesn’t dry up until the next calamity brings us back to basics.
Although Social Security has never missed a payment in more than 70 years, the constant repetition of such falsehoods as “Social Security is broke” or “the trust fund money was stolen” have led many, particularly the young, to fear that Social Security will not be available when it is their time to retire.
Single-payer advocates have pointed out for years that if Americans pooled all the money that’s paid by businesses and individuals for health care coverage and enact a modest tax like we currently do for Medicare there would be more than enough money to fund our entire health care system and include every American in it from birth to death.
“Medicare for All” is simply a repackaged attempt to revive an old progressive dream of single-payer health care.
When we couple the increasing needs of children with historic budget cuts to schools, we can see through the school room window that challenges cannot be solved by our local school districts alone.
WILL’s latest study, Silent Successes, shows how, over seven years, the tone of the media coverage has been overwhelmingly negative. In fact, only two percent of stories about Act 10 have been positive. With such overwhelmingly one-sided media coverage, it is little wonder that popular support for Act 10 has been waning.
We must ensure that we are staffing our correctional facilities adequately, for the safety of our officers as well as the inmates.
Recent revelations by two of Walker’s former cabinet secretaries, along with other examples of his sorry performance when it comes to openness, make it vital that the FOIC set the record straight.
Decisions by Milwaukee county exec, Journal Sentinel, suppressed news of acting sheriff’s lucrative pension.
