In a gift to prosecutors, the Wisconsin Supreme Court just issued another shoddy ruling, replete not only with shabby legal reasoning but also a savage callousness regarding criminal appeals.
Much worse than Chicago’s. And little difference between public and choice schools.
House Speaker Paul Ryan of Wisconsin deserves chief credit for the reform. Ryan has pushed tax reform for years, and he keenly understands how high business taxes are undermining U.S. economic growth.
Republicans seem ready to squander their big success on taxes by hunting the white whale of welfare reform.
Our liberal-progressive-socialist acquaintances are baying for the hides of those who protested their treatment at the hands of the speech police, blinding klieg lights and battering rams at the ready in their pre-dawn raids on private homes.
Media feasting on problems in John Doe report. Here’s a scorecard of biggest goofs.
Threatens 1,000,000 acres, opposed by hunting and fishing groups.
It is now time to update our FMLA to make it more flexible so people can take off to care for their grandparents, grandchildren, siblings and eligible family members deployed overseas by our military.
Spending money this way is not only stigmatizing and cruel, it is counterproductive.
A conversation with 96-year old Marie Davidson of Milwaukee is like opening a living window on history. A singular voice that has witnessed the administration of every President since Warren Harding, she is especially frustrated by the one in charge now—the one who seems bent on reversing the progress made in voting rights and equal access to education.
The upside-down tree had its origins in Poland and other central and eastern European countries. According to historic accounts, the pagans who had been converted to Christianity began to view the fir tree as God’s Trinity tree. By the 12th century, it was being hung upside down from ceilings at Christmastime in central and eastern Europe as a symbol of Christianity and God the son becoming a man, because it resembled the shape of Christ being crucified.
It’s a good thing the term of veteran Brown County Circuit Court Judge Kendall Kelley isn’t up until 2021. His latest assignment may take him years to complete.
Throwing their power around, they are demanding that two civil servants in Wisconsin’s watchdog agencies be removed from office.
The Supreme Court’s decision will impact elections nationwide for decades to come — both for state legislatures and for Congress.
Too much can be made of special elections in off-years, but Roy Moore’s loss can only pay dividends for Wisconsin Republicans who support decency.
A new law makes it possible for emergency medical personnel to perform basic health care for people in their homes. This new approach to health care delivery may soon be in your neighborhood.
In 2018, the Wisconsin prison population will be as high as it has ever been. This overcrowding is a serious safety concern not only for our front-line correctional officers and sergeants but also for inmates and our support staff of teachers, maintenance, administrators, etc.
I can’t tell you how many emails and anonymous phone messages I regularly receive from people who have been duped into believing the absolute lies that get passed around the internet these days.
“Net neutrality” is one of those buzzwords that inspires populist support, but it’s not as simple as the big guys conspiring to shove mom-and-pop websites into the internet’s slow lane. Behind the scenes, it’s also about a small handful of heavy users – the internet’s so-called “lane hogs” – hoping to avoid paying for the right to dominate available capacity.
An astute social commentator who wrote with an eye toward exposing the cruel and unusual men of his times, Dickens would update his protagonist: make him younger and more conniving, put him in a crisp suit, give him better hair, perhaps make him speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives.
