In a Q&A as his inauguration nears, the incoming governor looks ahead to his first year.

WARF is rich and respected, but needs to evolve. Enter Erik Iverson.

With Gov. Scott Walker’s signature in place on the lame-duck session legislation, the WisOpinion Insiders, Chuck Chvala and Scott Jensen, consider the laws’ impact on Gov.-elect Tony Evers. Sponsored by the Wisconsin Counties Association and Michael Best Strategies.

In his latest book, Stephen J.A. Ward evangelizes for an evolved approach to journalism that challenges the profession’s historic preoccupation with neutrality.

Time for a real discussion of Wisconsin transportation facts.

Hiring talented people, appointing expert advisors, who knew you could govern that way?

The Isthmus delivers its Cheap Shots for 2018

Rothschild shares his top 10 stories of the year.

His last-minute deal with Kimberly-Clark is not real economic development.

Trump has now torn himself loose from all anchors the nation once respected, leaving us with the likes of John Bolton and Stephen Miller to advise him.

Citizens overwhelmingly opposed long list of legislation passed by Republicans.

Rather than challenge the new law on its own merits, the liberal groups are asking the judge in Madison to determine that his rulings back in 2016 on the previous statute somehow apply to the new statute.

The next two high court elections could swing power to liberals.

As secretary of the Wisconsin Department of Corrections, I had five officers commit suicide in three-and-a- half years. These events alarmed me and I dove deeper into those numbers and found that at that time, the department had lost 39 officers to suicide in less than 18 years. It was that sobering realization that drove me to start the DOC suicide awareness and intervention program with the help of very devoted staff who had suffered the effects of suicides in their lives.
Voting is now open for WisPolitics.com’s annual Dem and Republican “WisPolitico of the Year” and “Ad of the Year.”

Suits by governor, legislature, citizens coming on lame duck laws, gerrymandering.
