We applaud Susan G. Komen for the Cure's decision to restore funding for Planned Parenthood's breast cancer screenings, although we'd like more clarity on its future funding plans. We also support the resignation of Karen Handel, the Komen...

We've heard it said time and time again, and it rings true every time: A healthy local economy requires a healthy local transit system. Unfortunately, local and state leaders have chosen to ignore this fact for years. And it has to stop, now. The Milwaukee County Transit System (MCTS) has survived on fumes for too long. Because it lacks a dedicated...

What's the difference between a tax and a fee? And when is a “raid” a “lapse”? Gov. Scott Walker's administration is counting on Wisconsinites to be so confused about taxes, fees and lapses that they'll never figure out that professionals are being robbed so that Walker's budget balances...

On the campaign trail last year, then-candidate Scott Walker promised to create 250,000 jobs in his first term as governor. Many voters believed he could do it. One year later, it's plain to see that Walker has failed Wisconsin. His assault on middle-class families—whether they're employed in the public or private sector—isn't encouraging...

In the past few weeks we've heard all kinds of opposition to the recalls of Gov. Scott Walker, Lt. Gov. Rebecca Kleefisch and four Republican state senators.
