For many, his voice is woven into memories of early mornings in the barn, long drives down county roads, and kitchen radios humming beside a pot of coffee. He represented a kind of broadcasting that felt personal, because it was. It was rooted in place, in people, and in purpose.
Teachers who have fled a school or the profession altogether — and there are many of them in Wisconsin nowadays — often do so reluctantly and only after tremendous sacrifice and reflection.
A study done by the Tommy G. Thompson Center for Public Leadership affirms that the University of Wisconsin-Madison has a significant ideological diversity problem among its faculty.
It is customary for a state’s U.S. senators to work together in recommending occupants of certain federal positions. Wisconsin, however, is graced with two senators who couldn’t agree on the time of day.
The 7th CD caucus, comprised of 20-plus county GOP parties, declined to endorse anyone for the open coongressional seat at a March 14 endorsement event.
I can tell you one thing: This is not how Judge Chris Taylor is going to earn my vote.
