In “Two Minutes with Mitch” radio personality Mitch Henck gives his two cents on the firing of a UW-La Crosse police dispatcher.

To prevent such incidents in the future, the state needs to invest in more voter education and training of election officials.

It’s time to fully staff these facilities, reverse the pay cuts of nearly 20% that hit front-line staff under Act 10 and restore the fundamental right to collectively bargain over workplace conditions and safety.

Two of “trickle-down” proponent Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback’s biggest fans are House Speaker Paul Ryan and Gov. Scott Walker.

Donald Trump has now given conservatives permission to engage in a new type of verbal pugilism formerly relegated to fringe candidates in local school board races.

Confirmation hearing should be required viewing on college campuses for the education it offers on the separation of powers.

City has reinvented itself, deserves greater investment from state, he argues.

Year after year the company jacks up prices with bipartisan approval. Why?

As taxpayers, however, we urge the members of the Joint Finance Committee to take a very critical look at the long-term impacts of the disruptive change being considered.

“We’re not playing with people’s lives. We’re playing with people’s hair,” says Krissy Hudack, owner of Sky’s the Limit salon in Iron River, Wis.

Chief Justice Patience Roggensack need not look any further than some of the court’s own members’ actions as reasons for the court’s decline in public confidence.

The Medical College of Wisconsin, UW-Madison, Marquette, UW-Milwaukee and Versiti/BloodCenter of Wisconsin competed for and earned about $400 million of research funding from the NIH alone in federal fiscal year 2016, and the proposed budget would eliminate about $100 million from Wisconsin research institutions in 2018.

In “Two Minutes with Mitch” radio personality Mitch Henck gives his two cents on election meddling and wiretapping allegations.

Increasing military budgets and cutting the State Department is a huge mistake. This, from a 27-year retired Navy commander. Who would think a military man would want to see his budget cut?

A state that supports their veterans spends state money for programs for veterans and does not use money meant for the care and comfort in nursing homes for agency administration and rent.

Right now, the ex-prisoner re-entry process is a vicious cycle. It needs to be a navigable road.
