Black people in the city have a shorter average life expectancy than the national average — 72.6 years versus 74.9 years nationally. That is according to the “Black Progress Index,” a sophisticated Brookings database available online.
Equipping more rural healthcare facilities to provide labor and delivery services means shorter travel times and reduced risks for both mothers and their babies.
Economic theory and history show they instead limit supply and raise costs.
On Law Day, I ask everyone to reflect on the genius of our careful separation of powers and critical checks and balances.
Once more, Gov. Evers has requested investment for child care in the state budget. Will the third time be the charm? Or will Republicans again block it in the legislature?
Sometimes the solution to a problem presents itself through the absurdity of the alternative.
It is regrettable that a sitting judge had to be arrested. If she does not face consequences, it will embolden others and further undermine the rule of law.
The least the most timid among us can do is insist that the federal government follow the law before caving in. That’s what Dugan did, when she asked if the agents who came to her courtroom to arrest Flores-Ruiz had a judicial warrant. They did not. Nor do they have proof that Dugan herself broke any laws.
Her team will argue that, when intervening in the case of an illegal immigrant, she was acting within the scope of her official duties.
Milwaukee County’s new medical examiner, Dr. Wieslawa Tlomak, announced the office would stop sharing narrative reports until investigations were concluded and cases closed.
You are not powerless. The strongest response to dysfunction in Washington, D.C., is local action.
Wisconsin’s rural counties may suffer — a lot — from his policies.
“Sinners” is not just a great movie; it is a case study of why we must fight to preserve and teach history in all its complexity.
The column below reflects the views of the author, and these opinions are neither endorsed nor supported by WisOpinion.com. May 1st is Law Day, an opportunity to celebrate a bedrock of our nation, the Rule of Law. As Wisconsin lawyers,
While our state sits on a surplus of $4 billion, I believe it’s high time we invest that money to improve the quality of life for Wisconsinites.
In higher ed, consulting fees and big technology buys go hand-in-hand with austerity.
Unlike at public universities, like the UW, where other students and I felt afraid to speak our minds or disclose the love of our country or even mention God, at Hillsdale, students and teachers can talk their minds.
If the events occurred as described in the affidavit of criminal complaint against circuit court judge Hannah Dugan are accurate, then she committed obstruction of justice and concealing an individual to prevent his discovery and arrest, and it’s extremely difficult to envision an alternate interpretation of the known facts that would exculpate Judge Dugan.
Like the effort to return Joshua Glover to slavery, this is a bad case, built on bad law, pursued for bad reasons.
What makes Dugan’s action especially revolting is that she is a judge. ICE and the FBI had a warrant. How can a judge defy a warrant? What does Dugan do when somebody defies one of her judicial warrants?
