The WisOpinion Insiders, Chvala and Jensen, share differing views on a series of issues involving Milwaukee Democratic state Rep. Sylvia Ortiz-Velez, who has left the Wisconsin Assembly Dem caucus.
We’ll have to keep waiting for any meaningful data on the Democratic primary in the race for governor, but there’s a whole lot here to break down.
How else can we hold Jill Underly accountable?
Some cities, states and regions have a healthier technology startup economy than others, as metros such as San Francisco, Boston, Austin and others have shown for decades. How does Wisconsin stack up? An upcoming Madison conference will offer a glimpse at some long-term drivers – and some cautionary views, as well.
Thousands of jobs, billions in investment and a commitment to clean, efficient growth.
For too long, the stigma associated with cannabis has prevented Wisconsin legislators from doing the right thing. The time to change that is now.
The City of Milwaukee is willing to pay a new marketing and communications officer for The Hop, its little-used $128 million streetcar, up to $108,000 per year plus benefits.
Our parks are asked to absorb cuts that erode the very assets that knit this county together.
The only poll that matters for the future of President Donald Trump’s plans is the one taken next November.
The political world is in a tizzy over Donald Trump’s suggestion that he might figure out a way to run for president for a third term, the 22nd Amendment to the Constitution notwithstanding.
It’s Halloween, so I thought I’d tell the scariest story I could come up with. The 22nd Amendment is pretty clear: “No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice.” And yet there’s no reason to think that’ll stop Donald Trump from seeking a third term.
Capt. Dylan Blaha and Staff Sgt. Demi Palecek correctly refused a federal order to deploy in Chicago.
The wreckage looks like a crime scene, with President Donald Trump’s thumbprints on it. He didn’t ask or tell people, he just destroyed a sacred structure that sang of American history. Vintage Trump.
It’s not too much to ask that voters prove their legal status, just like it’s not too much to ask that voters show photo ID at the polls to verify their identity. It is too much to ask that the entire state voter registry be audited over a matter of weeks.
Timing couldn’t have been worse for a bipartisan group of state legislators who want to give total control over online sports betting in Wisconsin to the native tribes who run casino sports books.
Our environment in Wisconsin is conducive to slow tourism.
Every line of this budget reflects the values that have made Dane County strong: collaboration, accountability and care for one another.
As the Trump administration continues to take a jackhammer to the Constitution, we see more and more editorials calling for moderates on both sides to come together. History shows this is not how major problems are solved in this country.
These kids, their parents, and onlookers witnessed city streets become a stage for a grotesque display of federal overreach, racial profiling, and outright abuse.
Cannabis is far less harmful and poses fewer negative side effects than most prescription drugs – especially opiate-based painkillers – and our state’s residents should also have the choice to decide which health care options work best for them.
