Fundamental to the celebration of our diversity is recognition that every person has rights, rights that are protected by law and by basic human decency.
Our plan for the 2017-19 State Budget focuses on equitable funding for schools, increasing sustainability by limiting local referenda buy-downs, and helping to ensure all Wisconsin students have great educational opportunities regardless of where they live.
There is a gut feeling across this nation that laws have been broken, excesses of power taken, and deeds attempted, or in fact done, not for the sake of the country but for the benefit of one person. That being Donald Trump.
In “Two Minutes with Mitch” radio personality Mitch Henck gives his two cents on fired FBI Director James Comey’s highly anticipated congressional testimony.
Who will be the more liberal candidate?
UW students can’t launch their Uber-like haircut business in Wisconsin without action from the Legislature.
Bruce Thompson responds to a Federalist column countering his assertion governors have little impact on the economy.
The decisions that a governor makes can have an impact on the state over the long run, but in the short run — notably those monthly unemployment statistics — it’s hard to give credit or assign blame.
It’s good to see the governor willing to talk about tolling as another option. We just hope he’s willing to go a little farther down that road toward a long-term sustainable solution for the state’s transportation needs.
While Wisconsin’s natural heritage was preserved and restored by generations of hunters and fishers who were predominantly white men, it might only survive into the future if a more diverse group of users joins them in the field and for different reasons.
Walker discusses the impact of Act 10 and the current state of the liberal and conservative movements in Wisconsin five years after the failed recall attempt with Media Trackers Communications Director Jerry Bader.
Instead of supporting programs that partner with local communities to create jobs and grow our rural Wisconsin economy, Trumps’s budget guts the programs they depend on.
Younger workers see no motivation to stay in a state with bad economic conditions, conservative politics.
Under RyanCare, millions of Americans will be paying more in health care to get less in coverage.
The Senate majority leader wanting to get a vote by the upcoming recess means there is more of an effort to get this political mess behind them than pass a bill that has any chance of being reconciled with the three-thumb crowd in the House.
It’s only a matter of time before the publishers come out with a how-to manual titled “Deplorables for Dummies.” A kind of field guide, if you will, for the bien pensants, the cultural elite, the social justice warriors on how to deal with the inevitable Trump supporter, should he be encountered in the wild.
It’s a pretty big leap to say that Bernie Sanders’ Democratic primary win in Wisconsin last year means that a Sanders-like candidate would defeat Gov. Scott Walker.
Ten years ago there were fewer children living in poverty in Milwaukee than there are today. We now live in one of the poorest cities in America, with too much unemployment, poverty and violence.
Fake news, like politicians who deceive, will remain a fact of life. The only antidote is an educated, critically minded electorate who can see through the hoaxes and separate fact from propaganda. But, most important, we need a citizenry that believes that truth matters—and matters urgently.
Wright was a refined and dignified architect, to be sure. But he was, as well, a proud and passionate American who never hesitated to raise his voice against demagoguery and the tyranny that extends from it.
