Positive Partnerships Needed in Education
By State Superintendent Carolyn Stanford Taylor During my childhood, I found myself in a challenging school environment. Through no fault of myself or my siblings, our peers did not welcome us. It was the civil rights era and we had recently enrolled as the first black children in the well-funded “white school” in my Southern […]

Gun Sanctuary Counties Are a Misnomer
Legislatively Speaking By Senator Lena C. Taylor By now, many of you have heard that Wisconsin’s Florence County has passed a resolution declaring the county as a Second Amendment sanctuary, or “gun sanctuary county” as such designations have been commonly referred. Joining a handful of states and municipalities around the nation, the Wisconsin county has […]

For Wisconsin, Education is the Key to the Future
By LaKeshia Myers This week has been a very good week for education in Wisconsin. Gov. Tony Evers signed three pertinent pieces of legislation that are sure to pave the way for our state’s future as we continue to shed our rustbelt image.

The Right to Vote Should Not Fall Victim to Partisan Battles
By Jesse Jackson The right to vote is fundamental to any democracy. Protecting that right — and making it easier to exercise it — ought to be a priority across partisan lines.

Autonomy vs. Equity: Why A Convention of the States Would be Detrimental to People of Color
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.

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 […]
