Ben Eisen: For glimpse of a dismal Wisconsin future, just look at our Great Lakes neighbor
Wisconsin must reject Ontario’s embrace of high taxes, increased spending, and more regulation — the cause of economic stagnation in a once-thriving manufacturing center

Sarah Keyeski: You deserve more than lazy legislative leadership
The state Legislature has adjourned for the 2025-26 legislative session, leaving much work unfinished. I firmly believe we should still be working for you.

Tom Still: Fall campaigns ideal time to examine state tax structure
Upcoming elections for state government offices offer a timely chance to talk about ways to improve Wisconsin’s tax climate for businesses and citizens alike.

Dave Zweifel: Trains coming to Madison, but some won’t live to see them
What’s four more years? After all, we were all primed to link Wisconsin’s capital city to the nationwide Amtrak network back in 2010, before the disastrous election of Scott Walker as governor.

Jeff Thompson: Listening a critical skill for return of civil discourse
The request from LeaderEthics is to sign the Civil Discourse Pledge and agree to listen and not just talk.

Jamie Stiehm: Trump’s presence at Correspondents’ Dinner a major buzz kill
The White House Correspondents’ Dinner Saturday is the hottest ticket in town, but a tempest is brewing among journalists on Donald J. Trump’s presence at the posh gathering.

Molly Guthrie: Wisconsin leads the way in breast cancer screening. Congress needs to follow.
The passage of Gail’s Law is a resounding triumph for the people of Wisconsin, and it sets a powerful example for the rest of the country. But access to early diagnosis should never depend on the state where someone lives.

Calvin B. DeWitt and Helen Rose: Our faith informs our care for God’s creation on Earth Day
For most of American history, protecting the land, our water, and other resources we depend on wasn’t political. It was common sense — especially in rural America.

Tammy Baldwin: You shouldn’t have to pay $1,500 a year to watch your favorite teams

Bradley Glassel: A trip abroad taught me Milwaukee drivers can do better
In Europe, I noticed something different. When a pedestrian approached a crosswalk, drivers stopped — consistently and predictably.

Gregg Hoffman: Lasting importance of Earth Day
What’s important now, in 2026, is to not let Earth Day as an institution become stale and something we just do out of tradition and obligation.

Angelique Sharp: Everybody loves sustainability until poverty wears it
If Earth Day is truly about protecting our shared home, then everybody living in that home deserves to be part of the conversation. Protecting the Earth is a shared responsibility, but any vision of sustainability that leaves people behind is incompetent from the start.

Dave Cieslewicz: Environmentalism is the establishment
On the fifty-something anniversary of Earth Day it’s time for the environmental movement to grow up. More accurately, it’s important to admit that we have grown up and grown into the establishment.

Brendan Steinhauser: Wisconsin needs to protect itself from Big Tech
As if Silicon Valley didn’t have enough power over the lives of Wisconsinites, big tech CEOs are coming for more.

Bill Barth: A brief opening for fair elections
Wherever politicians gather enough power to cheat by drawing unfair district lines, count on them to do just that. Republican. Democrat. It’s always wrong.
