While Gov. Tony Evers wants to look magnanimous by giving the impression that Wisconsin is starting to reopen, the truth is that this administration is doing everything in its power to keep the state shut down.
Taylor writes about how the Choctaw people collected $170, the equivalent of $6,000 in today’s dollars, and sent it to Ireland during the Great Potato Famine. Now, the people of Ireland have helped raise nearly $3 million dollars to help out the Navajo and Hopi tribes as they deal with COVID-19.
Attention Evers: We sacrificed; we flattened the curve. So stop moving the goal posts.
Healthy companies are the backbone of the country. With companies in a heap of trouble, some of them generations in the making, nothing works very well in America. Sens. Sanders and Warren would never acknowledge that reality.
The U.S. has one of the worst per capita ratings in the world in terms of dealing with coronavirus. Trump just said it was one of the best.
Preferential contracts undermine the truly disadvantaged, and programs are prone to fraud.
Especially in the middle of a public health crisis, we should be doing more to keep our water resources protected and safe, not less.
Good news, small retailers: Gov. Tony Evers thinks you’re “deserving” of re-opening — but you can only welcome five customers at a time.
78% of early cases traced to NYC, before federal government finally began to take action.
Tyson was right that the food supply chain is broken. But the industrial agriculture model that concentrates food and power into major and vulnerable collection points in that chain is itself one of its most broken elements.
Sadly for Wisconsin, at a time we need a Tommy Thompson, we’re stuck with a Tony Evers.
By always choosing to take the low road, Vos creates a circumstance where others feel they can, or must, do the same.
Vos’s opponent in the Assembly elections later this year dropped out of the race, due to harassment from the right.
In his May 10 post, “Where have all the candidates gone?” Dave Cieslewicz decided that the three candidates of color were so undeserving of any recognition or agency as “viable” or “credible” candidates that he intentionally never even said our names.
She has been one of the loudest local voices advocating for small businesses in the service industry since the COVID-19 pandemic hit.
I cannot predict exactly what we will have to do and who will be impacted, but it is important for all citizens to know that there will be a fiscal impact to state finances from the COVID-19 pandemic response. And the longer a restrictive response lasts, the worse it gets.
They were warned that their lack of urgency could be costly. And yet they did nothing. Unemployed Wisconsinites paid the price. And this crisis of inaction is already repeating itself.
Staying home? Thank you for helping them live.
Johnson needs to address the corrupt conduct of his former fundraiser.
There was a time — believe it or not — when Wisconsin’s Supreme Court was held in high regard by the nation’s legal fraternity.
