WisOpinion.com: ‘The Insiders’ consider the future of competing middle-class tax cut proposals
In light of Gov. Tony Evers veto of the Legislature’s tax cut bill, the WisOpinion Insiders, Chvala and Jensen, consider which branch’s tax cut vision will prevail, or not. Sponsored by the Wisconsin Counties Association and Michael Best Strategies.

Tony Evers: Enough politics, let’s cut taxes for Wisconsin families
Hard-working families in Wisconsin deserve a tax cut. But you also deserve for it to be done responsibly and to make sure we know how we’re going to pay for it in the future.

Paul Fanlund: Racial progress in American policing is at a standstill, says Noble Wray
When Noble Wray left his native Milwaukee to join the Madison police force in 1984, he may not have imagined how the topic of racial equity in policing would dominate his career. Yet, here he is — at 58 and the grandfather of two — reflecting not only on his decade as Madison’s police chief until 2014, but today as one of the nation’s most prominent African-Americans training police on racial bias.

Brian Hagedorn: I’m not backing down and I need your help
The recent attacks against me go far beyond this campaign. The underlying argument, no matter how it is packaged, is that you cannot be a person of faith and, at the same time, be a faithful judge who treats everyone with respect. Their message is clear: people of faith need not apply.

Bruce Murphy: The disastrous candidacy of Brian Hagedorn
After weeks of negative press, his Supreme Court campaign is reeling. Who vetted him?

Ike Brannon: Abolishing Unfair Sales Act would help mitigate impact of gas tax hike

Tom Frazier: Expanding Medicaid is best for state
Why it’s the smart, compassionate and fiscally responsible thing to do.

Dan O’Donnel: Evers’ decriminalization lies go to pot
Evers’ contention that his push for statewide decriminalization will somehow solve racial inequities in the justice system is either pie-in-the-sky naivety or willful dishonesty.

Matthew Rothschild: Trump’s in touch with his inner fascist
This is who Trump really is: He’s an authoritarian, he’s a fascist, he has no respect for the institutions of our democracy.

George Mitchell: What’s Evers been smoking?
Don’t hold your breath, so to speak, waiting for evidence that “possessing small amounts of marijuana” has anything to do with the incarceration rate.

John Nichols: Legislators who dismiss Colin Kaepernick dismiss Wisconsin history
The legislators who went out of their way to disregard Colin Kaepernick did not just dismiss him. They dismissed much of what is best about Wisconsin history. Kaepernick’s advocacy on behalf of racial justice merits recognition by the state where he was born.

Dan O’Donnell: Who wants to be a millionaire?
“Millionaires and billionaires” have been the boogeymen of the modern Democratic Party for years, but over the past 12 months, the party has lurched even farther to the left.
