Bill Barth: Time to reverse residency mistake
Sen. Mark Spreitzer and Rep. Clinton Anderson, both Beloit Democrats, are introducing legislation that would allow local communities to set residency requirements for the highest-ranking appointed individuals.

James Causey: Milwaukee youth need guidance. SEED schools can help.

Mark Belling: Leftists are ideological bigots
If you can’t name a road after the martyred most influential Christian evangelist and conservative political influencer of this century in the most conservative county in Wisconsin, it’s a fair bet you won’t be able to do it anywhere.

Michelle Bryant: Erasing service, undermining strength
Racist leadership practices return to the military

Gregory Humphrey: Wisconsin journalist Shelly Kittleson kidnapped in Iraq: Truth tellers must not be silenced
It is a clear attack on the public’s right to know. We all suffer when truth‑seekers are punished for exposing corruption, documenting conflict, or giving voice to those who would otherwise be unheard. Silencing a reporter is an attempt to blind the world.

Dave Zweifel: Voters believed him; now we’re stuck with a liar in chief
April Fool’s is a good day to review Donald Trump’s campaign promises to the American people. Suffice it to say that he took a lot of us for fools.

There was a new dimension to the anti-Trump protest Saturday that drew a record turnout of an estimated 1,600 citizens to the grounds of the Washington County Courthouse. It was opposition to his new war against Iran.

Jessica McBride: Leave Kristi Noem alone. She’s not responsible for balloon-gate
I’m tired of the snap judgments that fall so much harder on women, especially conservative women. We don’t really know what went down in Kristi’s marriage and, frankly, it’s hard to see how it’s any of our business, as weird as it all is. Leave Kristi alone. She has enough to deal with.

Jason M. Walter and Eric Olson: Why should WI pay for data center costs before they exist?

David Blaska: Give Hong a 20-second hug; she writes bills that never pass
Hong is the beating heart of the pro-Palestine, “reimagine policing,” social justice warriors here in Wisconsin. The huddled masses yearning for more free stuff support legislation like her Assembly Bill 370. It required prisons and jails to allow inmates to get and give a 20-second hug.

Gregory Humphrey: Republicans are in a pickle, a very sour one
There is palpable anger afoot in this nation. Not violent fist-a-cuff anger. But rather a determined, reasoned, and righteous commitment against the destruction of our national norms and the constitutional guardrails that govern this land.

Peggy West: Don’t let Cesar Chavez’s actions erase Latino history in Milwaukee

Michelle Bryant: The NFL: Play or get played
Will the league stand by inclusion efforts?

Steven Walters: Republican unity shatters in final Wisconsin Senate session

In a session otherwise defined by circular firing squads, three Republican legislators did something rare in Wisconsin politics. They led.

Joe Gothard: Wisconsin must fix how it funds public schools
Wisconsin is sitting on a significant state budget surplus. Investing these resources into special education services would provide real relief while ensuring schools have the resources needed to serve all students. A more balanced approach to school funding, including a new approach to general aid disbursements, is necessary.

Shannon Whitworth: Ditch identity politics to save Wisconsin’s urban schools
It is up to us as adults to put young people in an environment where they can be successful. And when we do that, these kids respond positively. When provided an equal level of expectations and a positive environment, Black students can perform just as well as their white counterparts.

WisOpinion: ‘The Insiders’ debate what’s behind Wisconsin’s rising property tax bills
The WisOpinion Insiders, Chvala and Jensen, discuss property tax increases facing property owners and how Wisconsin legislators could address the issue. Sponsored by the Wisconsin Counties Association and the Tommy G. Thompson Center on Public Leadership.
