Bill Lueders: David Prosser: His work was his life
He served 18 years on the Wisconsin Supreme Court, winning a key election and becoming embroiled in controversy.

John Torinus: UWGB shines while UWM falters
Too bad the former UW-Washington County campus wasn’t a satellite of UW-Green Bay instead of UW-Milwaukee.

Paul Nannis: Wisconsin needs new remedies to combat opioid overdoses. Lives are at stake.
Municipalities and frontline responders in Wisconsin should have access to these solutions in order to best respond to the variety of overdose scenarios that face their communities.

Dave Cieslewicz: Free us from the hard-left
Democrats have an identity crisis. They are perceived to be something they’re not, which is out of the mainstream. They can thank a vocal minority in their ranks — the hard-left — for that perception.

Steven Walters: Will Legislature change election laws?
Republicans may back earlier recount of absentee ballots — along with other changes.

Scott Krug: We can end doubts about Wisconsin election integrity once and for all
It’s past time to pass these good government reforms and ensure that we are doing everything in our power to protect the voices of Wisconsin voters.

Dave Zweifel: Biden got it done; Trump will take the credit
That Trump will be able to claim credit for the programs, initiated by the man who beat him in 2020 and succeeded where Trump failed, is undoubtedly a matter of political luck.

John Torinus: Uber-red Washington County: Prime Trump land
Trumpers are claiming a highly debatable national mandate, but there is no debate about his “mandate” from Washington County voters. Donald Trump got 68.6% of the votes in Washington County, making it the reddest large county in the state. Waukesha County was close at 66.7%.

Howard Landsman: Harris campaign heroic, but not error free
She needlessly ceded to Donald Trump two issues that voters consistently rated as high priority: the economy and immigration.

Dave Cieslewicz: Who’s the radical now?
I won’t be the first writer to observe that the roles have been switched. In the 1960’s and 1970’s it was the left that saw our institutions as corrupt tools of oppression. Now it’s the hard-right.

Van Wanggaard: Milwaukee Journal Sentinel wrong to blame Legislature for Lincoln Hills
Time and again, the Legislature has insisted that Lincoln Hills be closed. When presented with viable plans, not half-baked ones from left field, the Legislature has funded them.

Bruce Murphy: State taking over Milwaukee County pension system
After 87 years, all new county employees will become part of state system.

LaKeshia Myers: National Black Catholic History Month: Acknowledging the dedication of African American Catholics
Since 1990, the National Black Catholic Clergy Conference has designated the month of November as Black Catholic History Month, to honor the contributions of the many men and women of African descent who were dedicated to the Catholic faith.

Jeff Smith: Time for legislators to work together
For years Republican legislators froze out Democrats. Fair maps should change that.

Leila Fletcher and Sandy Flores Ruiz: DPI dragging heels on science-based literacy instruction
We urge Underly, Evers and our representatives at the Capitol to put aside partisan bickering and support implementation of ACT 20 reading reforms. This pivot in how we teach reading is long overdue.

Eric Borgerding: Health care in jeopardy. 1 in 3 Wisconsin hospitals are losing money.
Without support from lawmakers, Wisconsin hospitals will face financial strain that threatens the stability and availability of health care.

Patrick McIlheran: Wisconsin’s burdensome childcare rules hurt parents’ pockets
New research quantifies states’ regulations and puts a number on the harm.

Bill Kaplan: Rural vote key to Trump’s 2024 win
If Democrats fight for rural Wisconsinites on trade, higher education and health care it will help Wisconsin become more equitable and prosperous.

Scott Walker: Give thanks to Generation X
They remembered Reagan and gave us Trump.

Michelle Bryant: The troubling precedent of letting Trump evade justice
The idea that a sitting U.S. president is shielded from both civil and criminal prosecution while in office is absurd.

The WisOpinion Insiders, Chvala and Jensen, discuss the candidacy rollout for Eric Hovde, a Republican seeking to unseat Dem U.S. Sen. Tammy Baldwin. Sponsored by the Wisconsin Counties Association and the Tommy G. Thompson Center on Public Leadership.
