February is the shortest month, but Wisconsin special interests and their government enablers used it all to broadly advance their war on the environment.
Nothing Walker has done up until now has been so aggressively anti-democratic as his refusal to hold special elections to fill vacant seats in the state Legislature.
The Wisconsin policy is now almost six months old, and protests have continued — but shout-downs and speaker disruptions are thinning.
We believe that living the Wisconsin Idea is about using our skills at the university as inventors and engineers and in the trades as machinists, electricians and other specialties to revitalize Wisconsin’s industrial heritage in a modern context.
The Wisconsin experience shows us that worker freedom means smaller, less powerful unions. It also shows us that government will continue to function and students will continue to learn and thrive.
Zweifel agrees with Chicago Tribune libertarian columnist Steve Chapman that such a parade should be used to mark the end of a war.
We have launched a tradition of working with a forward vision and shared goals, with the water agreement serving as a foundation for future successful collaboration. As a region we are in this together, and we invite our citizens and everyone to join us in building a collaborative future together.
The WisOpinion Insiders, Jensen & Chvala, debate Foxconn and analyze the reasons behind a GOP move to extend similar credits to Kimberly-Clark. Sponsored by the Wisconsin Counties Association and Michael Best Strategies.
With her 20-year career in the Legislature winding down, state Rep. Terese Berceau, D-Madison, says Democrats need to do a far better job of marketing their message going forward.
Instead of facing up to our incredible problem with firearms, we focus on half-way “solutions” like arming teachers or increasing the age to buy semi-automatic rifles from 18 to 21.

Study found students who attended an MPCP school were significantly more likely than their peers in public schools to enter college.
The Republican plan will do little to improve the welfare of low-income families.
Monday brought disappointment to Wisconsin liberals expecting proof that Wisconsin Supreme Court candidate Judge Michael Screnock sold his judicial soul to the NRA to get its endorsement in the April contest.
When it comes to strengthening Wisconsin’s internet connections, from its most rural settings to under-served neighborhoods in its largest cities, there is no “one-tech-fits-all” solution.
Offering better communication and providing more feedback is not catering to “snowflakes,” it is a strong management decision and good for the bottom-line.
Most states limit governors to two terms, but not New York and Wisconsin, where Andrew Cuomo and Scott Walker are both seeking reelection this year.
The assumption of the hammock metaphor is that people are lazy and just need a kick to get moving. Another assumption is that fraud is rampant. Both assumptions are false.
As we approach this year’s annual celebration of Sunshine Week, March 11-17, it’s worth recalling times when people entrusted with our tax dollars have stood up for our right to know. But too often government agencies and elected officials pledge fidelity to openness while acting to keep us in the dark.
RightWisconsin’s James Wigderson and DOT Deputy Secretary Bob Seitz talk about the savings in the DOT budget since last year’s audit, the I-94 East-West freeway, and where do the orange barrels get stored when they’re not being used?
