By LaKeshia Myers While the Wisconsin State Assembly received quite a bit of attention last week at its last floor session of 2019 due to deliberating the official name of the capitol evergreen (yes, it is in fact a Christmas tree); the political rumblings during the Federalism and Interstate Relations committee were, in my opinion, […]

Saving for Our Future
By State Rep. Don Vruwink For many years now, research has exposed a storm brewing in Wisconsin. Demographic trends point to rapid growth in our senior population (of which I am a member) and almost no growth among those ages 18-64. Population changes have profound effects on the economic health of our communities and our […]

45 Seconds to Punctuate Years of Meaningless Action
Legislatively Speaking By Senator Lena C. Taylor It didn’t take a minute. In a combined 45 seconds, both houses of the Republican controlled Wisconsin State legislature dismissed Governor Evers’ special session on gun violence. It didn’t take a week for more unnerving examples of why these conversations must be had. Whether we start with Monday […]

Slaughtered Opportunity
Now that the Strauss Brands deal to move to the north side of Milwaukee is dead, what does this mean for the residents of 53206 and 53208? There’s a possibility Strauss could consider the option of constructing its new headquarters at a location in Franklin. That’s good for Franklin, not so good for Milwaukee’s central […]

Red Light Cameras Should Get a Green Light in Wisconsin
By LaKeshia Myers I am not disillusioned. Reckless driving is an issue in the City of Milwaukee, which is why I am a proponent of the proposed red light camera legislation. According to data provided by the City of Milwaukee, there has been a consistent uptick in reckless driving since 2012. In 2018, there were […]

We Can Do Better Than This
Legislatively Speaking By Senator Lena C. Taylor Breathe. Just take a deep breath. That is all I could do after reviewing data recently reported by the National Assessment of Education Progress (NAEP). Known as the nation’s report card, NAEP measures the proficiency of the nation’s students on a variety of subjects. This assessment has been […]

Supporters Ramp Up Pressure on African Union to Reinstate Ambassador
By Stacy M. Brown NNPA Newswire Correspondent @StacyBrownMedia Did African Union Ambassador to the United States Dr. Arikana Chihombori-Quao lose her job because of her outspokenness about France’s continued profiting off of her beloved Africa?

National Black Catholic History Month: Acknowledging the Dedication of African American Catholics
By LaKeshia Myers When I was a classroom teacher, I had the opportunity to teach a course called College Summit. College Summit was not only a course designed to walk students through the college admission and application process, it also helped students identify their strengths and begin to explore out which college majors may interest […]

Trump is not Alone Among Americans in Failing to Understand What a Real Lynching is
Donald Trump’s use of the term “lynching” to describe the ongoing impeachment inquiry in the House naturally sparked bipartisan outrage. The president and his shameless apologist, South Carolina’s Sen. Lindsey Graham, defended the use of the word, with Graham calling the investigation a “lynching in every sense.” Surely Graham, who comes from a state that, […]

Unemployment Insurance: A Bridge Over
Legislatively Speaking By Senator Lena C. Taylor In 2018, nearly 22 million workers were laid off jobs, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. Roughly, two million people collected unemployment last year. Now imagine if those people were required to take a drug test to be eligible to receive unemployment benefits. Can’t quite wrap […]
