Paul Kundert: I lead UW Credit Union. Exploitive overdraft fees trouble me.
Four of the 15 largest Wisconsin-based financial institutions take in more than $1 million every month in overdraft and NSF consumer fees.

Richard Moore: Call gender therapy bans what they are: government censorship
The U.S. Supreme Court’s new term has already produced a case with explosive implications, including here in Wisconsin, and it could be one of the most consequential free speech cases in years.

Aaron Olver: Tom Still: An entrepreneur’s entrepreneur
Since 2001, former Wisconsin Technology Council President Tom Still has been innovating and creating new programs and initiatives to foster entrepreneurship, investment, and growth across Wisconsin. He is an entrepreneur’s entrepreneur.

Nisha Rajagopalan: Why Group Health care providers need a union
As a cooperative where members stand “at the top of the leadership chart,” GHC’s Board should respect membership’s vote by voluntarily recognizing our union, effective immediately.

David Blaska: Give it up, people!
We cling to this silver lining: deep down, the anti-Vos/Mike Gableman crowd realizes the abortive insurrection was a stain on the Constitution. That explains — nine months into the Restoration — their pathetic search for scapegoats, however absurd.

Patrick McIlheran: Bill would use tax credit to lower cost barrier to new nuclear in Wisconsin
Measure includes shifts in state’s priorities in law for ‘only way we keep lights on’

Sherrie Tussler: Public is in the dark about FoodShare rule changes that will create great harm
Food drives do not end hunger. Effective public policy does.

Eileen Harrington: Madison is not D.C.
Although the polarization endemic to Washington, D.C. is felt here as well, there are stronger and more real currents in Madison that should provide some hope.

Bill Kaplan: Trump refuses health care negotiations
Trump and congressional Republicans must listen to Wisconsin Democratic Senator Tammy Baldwin: negotiate to extend the expiring ACA tax credits, stop GOP punitive actions and end the shutdown.

Dave Cieslewicz: Who hates America?
Mike Johnson’s got a lot of chutzpah. For a guy who meekly rolls over and lets Trump trample on the prerogatives of his branch of government, for a guy who says nothing or openly supports Trump as he tramples on the Constitution over and over again — for THAT guy to say that it was the No Kings protesters who hate America is just ludicrous.

Barbara Dittrich: Hate has no home here?
No Kings protester’s ‘Is He Dead Yet?’ shirt is a sign of perilous times.

Dan Shafer: Thousands protest peacefully at “No Kings” in Milwaukee
In Milwaukee, the “No Kings” protest was held at Cathedral Square Park, followed by a march through downtown. See dozens of photos from the scene.

Michelle Bryant: Troubled waters: Trump may be capsizing the truth about sea bombings
What we are witnessing should not only raise questions about due process and international law, but also about intent and the true nature of this military escalation.

Dave Zweifel: Trump grabs the headlines as consumers quietly get screwed
Regulators were finally set to end the practice by many of the nation’s large financial institutions of brutalizing consumers with unconscionable overdraft fees, as much as $32 even if the bank customer’s account had been just a penny short.

David Couper: Actions threaten to pit local police against feds
Immigration enforcement has become a flashpoint between local and federal authority, and the stakes are not merely political. They are moral, constitutional, and deeply personal for the men and women in uniform who must decide where their duty lies.

WisOpinion: ‘The Insiders’ discuss candidates running for Wisconsin Supreme Court
The WisOpinion Insiders, Chvala and Jensen, look at the candidates running in the spring Wisconsin Supreme Court election.

Ruth Conniff: Ben Wikler isn’t running for governor, but he has a few ideas about Wisconsin’s political future
Despite his decision, Wikler is still involved in politics behind the scenes, raising money and helping create an infrastructure to support his party’s eventual nominee for governor as well as Democrats who are trying to win seats in the Legislature and in Congress.

Mark Lisheron: Claims of data center water use are laughably wrong
Lake Michigan not imperiled by water needs

Bill Franks: Group Health Cooperative must recognize vote and end discriminatory practices
We are demanding that the GHC board act upon the unanimous voice of its own diverse members. They must recognize the union immediately, come clean on their anti-union activities and regain the trust of membership by democratizing the cooperative again.
