UW-Madison Chancellor Rebecca Blank announced the creation of a study group to look at the influence of white supremacist groups on campus over the years.
Mayor Soglin is correct in his stern and strong posture when it comes to the monuments at Forest Hill. He is not only grounded with a moral footing, but also rooted in constitutional history, too.
No doubt feeling the heat from fair-minded citizens and national ridicule, Madison Mayor Paul Soglin today doubled down on his unilateral decision to purify and sanitize the Confederates Rest section of Forest Hill Cemetery.
Many of those complaining about the lawless behavior of anti-fascist protesters are noticeably silent when others in far higher positions of authority flout the rule of law.
Johnson violates his pledge and adopts policy he once condemned to get conservative appointed judge.
Many do, but a minority of legislators are calling the shots.
The Wisconsin win of the gigantic Foxconn manufacturing plant for Southeastern Wisconsin creates as opportunity to apply some new thinking about how to regulate the environmental side of its operations.
It’s stunning to hear Democrats putting a value on any job, across any sector. With the gubernatorial election around the corner, it’s time to stand up for working people. Not attack the thousands who will inevitably work for Foxconn in southeastern Wisconsin.

In Charlottesville, evil had a name, and it was white supremacy. Trump’s repeated assertion that there was violence “on many sides” speaks volumes about the real Donald Trump and offers a unique insight into what he really thinks.
When it comes to standing up to racists, somewhere between the non-engagement of a sheet-cake eating Tina Fey and the black-clad violence of the antifa is a better approach honed by Madison’s own Solidarity Sing Along.
Alt-right, white supremacists, KKK, Nazi sympathizers are hate groups.
In “Two Minutes with Mitch” radio personality Mitch Henck says President Donald Trump is in the political bunker after losing support left and right.
It sounds like President Trump is going to follow in the footsteps of all his predecessors dating back to Harry Truman in continuing to fight unwinnable wars.
Review of past deals shows its 35 times more than biggest prior state payout.
Every Wisconsin legislator and local official sworn to protecting honest and open government, environmental law and taxpayer money absolutely should slow down the Foxconn deal until they know know they are getting a straight story, forthcoming advice, accurate data and unfiltered facts.
I was a plaintiff in a 2012 Clean Water Act lawsuit against Rio Tinto of London, owner of the Flambeau Mine near Ladysmith, Wis. My three-year legal battle was quite contrary to statements made by Ladysmith City Administrator Al Christianson in his August 15 commentary in WisPolitics.com: “The Real Flambeau Mine Story.”
To celebrate the 100th year of the Wisconsin State Capitol a reunion of past legislators and staff who worked in the building was held last Friday.
None of the $1.5 million awarded in the latest round of Broadband Expansion Grant will be spent in Northwestern Wisconsin.
Anyone who was paying attention last fall could have predicted Trump’s Charlottesville performance, his inability to call out racists and inclination to go easy on fearmongers.
