Wisconsin State Journal Local News

One of the supposedly valuable attributes of Wisconsin discourse is transparency. And, admittedly, one of my biggest pet peeves is duplicity.

I am a UW graduate, and I feel for the painful cuts the university may have to make in light of the budget cuts in the next few years -- and I love cats.

Justice Ann Walsh Bradley is a much-needed bipartisan voice on the Wisconsin Supreme Court. During her nearly 20 years on the Supreme Court, she has ruled equitably and thoughtfully.

Gov. Scott Walker represents the majority of people who vote -- and have voted -- and who want to turn back the clock.

The 47 senators who signed the threatening letter to Iran should resign their positions and leave Washington D.C.

Player of the game Bronson Koenig came up big late in the shot clock en route to scoring a career-high 19 points.

The new managing agency, which has worked with the MFE for the past 20 years, says it will continue to build on the legacy started by the founding MFE members in 1985. 

Koenig scores 14 of his 19 points in the second half to help UW rally from a five-point halftime deficit and advance to Sunday's title game vs. Maryland or Michigan State.

As we celebrate access to government records this week, let's not the Scott Walker, Hillary Clinton and their secret email systems rain on our parade.
