Was Senator Marklein really powerless in UW-Richland decision?

Dear Editor, Ken Stark’s political cartoon published a few weeks ago actually had a response from Sen. Marklein. In it, Marklein again pats himself on the back for all he did for the UW system…and for all he did for UW-Richland.

WIAA competitive balance plan off balance

Worth your Vote?

Dear Editor, Donald Trump quotes dictators he admires: Russia’s Putin, Turkey’s Erdogan, and Hungary’s Orban —all dictators of ill repute. He says he “will be a dictator just for one day”, but which of these favorites of his have remained in power just for one term? Which of these countries …
