So guys, here’s a few things my father taught me that apparently a lot of younger guys didn’t have the opportunity to learn.

Charlie McGrath was a salesman in debt half his life and never able to buy us the clothes, shoes and gadgets our friends from smaller families had. But he gave to each of us, unselfishly, something way more valuable: himself.

The WisOpinion Insiders, Chvala and Jensen, discuss the FBI’s arrest of Milwaukee County Judge Hannah Dugan, who is facing felony charges over accusations she helped an undocumented immigrant attempt to evade arrest by federal immigration officials. Sponsored by the Wisconsin Counties Association and the Tommy G. Thompson Center on Public Leadership.

As nearby states reform, Wisconsin clings to licensure requirements that add little value.

The law says agendas must be “reasonably specific.”

Trump’s parade Pinterest board seems to be emulating an aesthetic that is part Putin, part Kim Jong Un, with a little young Mussolini mustache twirl.

It is time for California to become more like America again.

When a real insurrection took place at the U.S. Capitol, Trump did nothing, sat in the little dining room off the Oval office and watched television.

More investment in the actual laborers will better serve everyone.

It took me 35 years to understand Dad and Mom suffered from a disease, not a moral weakness.

My question: “Which state is better? Minnesota, Wisconsin or Iowa?” The result? It turns out that the survey’s respondents out-Midwesterned me.

Wisconsin’s public schools need resources that are flexible, spendable, and predictable – ones that allow local districts to address their unique needs.

Gov. Tony Evers proposed spending $480 million on Child Care Counts.

Wisconsin’s governor needs to do what so many other Democrats have failed to do and step aside when the time is right.

In Wisconsin alone, confirmed wolf depredations have increased steadily, as have livestock, hunting dogs, and even pets. Farmers in Ashland, Iron, or Douglas Counties aren’t fighting myths; they’re dealing with shredded flesh and silence from the state.

State Bar leaders deliberately violated their own vision statement by refusing in any way to push back against President Donald Trump’s blatantly illegal executive orders attacking lawyers, without whom the rule of law cannot exist “within a fair and accessible justice system.”

Congress’ long-awaited reconciliation bill includes a tax hike on private charitable foundations to foot the government’s spending bill.

This loophole is the result of a minor policy change Congress enacted more than 20 years ago that has allowed foreign cigarette manufacturers to claim refunds on taxes they haven’t actually paid.

County would have gotten $1 billion more since 2003 if funding kept up with inflation.

You’d be surprised by the range of ideas and proposals by Capitol newcomers.
