The WisOpinion Insiders, Chvala and Jensen, examine the Dem field for governor with David Crowley and Missy Hughes dropping their bids to back Lt. Gov. Sara Rodriguez. Sponsored by the Wisconsin Counties Association and the Tommy G. Thompson Center on Public Leadership.
While many Americans want respite from Trump’s bloviation and bad economic choices – from trade tariffs to manipulating the Federal Reserve Bank – they are unlikely to elect people who don’t believe in core American values such as free markets and the right to start, own and invest in businesses.
The median Wisconsin home has nearly doubled in price in ten years, to about $330,000, the 13th steepest climb in the country. A typical Wisconsin family can no longer afford a typical Wisconsin home.
We can no longer ignore the Muslim and Arab voice. Generations of families have been born and raised in the United States after their parents immigrated here.
Wisconsin entered statehood with one of the strongest free expression guarantees in the nation. Article I, Section 3 of the Wisconsin Constitution declared that every person may freely speak, write, and publish on any subject, and that the press shall be free.
I will continue working to protect children, defend parental rights, and preserve opportunities for girls and young women. Some issues in public policy are complicated. Protecting kids is not one of them.
Evers betrayed race fans statewide when he vetoed a common-sense “right to race” law that would have protected local tracks from predatory trial lawyers and NIMBYs – a bill that passed both chambers without opposition.
Standing against ‘teen takeovers’ and acting the fool, there are adults who teach better choices.
The column below reflects the views of the author, and these opinions are neither endorsed nor supported by WisOpinion.com. This is Mark Maier; I am a candidate for state Assembly District 81. I am concerned about the rising property taxes and
Are we fully leveraging the talent already inside our schools? In my experience, the answer is no.
I do not care if you adore the autocrat or deeply despise him. The uncomfortable truth is that the same biological math applies to tyrants as they do to Joe the plumber. But with a president, we all must pay heed to this issue, as the job is punishing.
Republicans are screaming about “waste, fraud and abuse” to try to distract voters from all of this destruction and graft. But their “fraud” talk just reminds people of the stunning theft of public resources they’ve enabled and are now trying to cover up with flimsy, slanderous lies.
The White House is always the last place Vance looks.
Data centers in space, transgender goats, dishonesty, and a touching hostage story
Those who had the good fortune to work alongside Farrow knew him as an affable, approachable leader who brought a genuine warmth to every encounter, whether he was at the State Capitol, the county courthouse, or out in the community. He carried a deep pride in Wisconsin and in Waukesha County, and he never missed a chance to credit others for the work they did.
Wisconsin’s utility system still rests on a framework shaped by the 1907 Public Utilities Law that granted utility corporations monopoly status. Today, this system allows top executives at utilities to take home massive salaries, while families struggle under high energy burdens.
Voting for legislators who support farmers helps to strengthen agriculture and build a strong and resilient food system so that everyone can access quality food at affordable prices. When agriculture wins, everyone wins.
As a teacher, I saw firsthand what happens when young people become disconnected, but I also saw the profound transformation that occurs when they find belonging and purpose.
In the Restorative Justice program, a small group of selected prisoners go through an 11-week program learning about themselves, about the impact of crimes on victims, about how the justice system works (or doesn’t work), and about what life can be like on the outside.
The problem with the American Creed is that it’s different for everyone.
