The great speech

Dear Editor, Tuesday 3/4/25 Donald Trump spent 100 minutes talking about what a great job he is doing. He said he has done more in a few weeks than most Presidents did in 4 or 8 years, and he was not lying about that.

Dodgeville must vote YES on April 1st!

Dear Editor, As someone who spent 33 years (24 in Dodgeville) as a public school teacher in Wisconsin, I firmly believe that our public schools are the bricks and mortar, the very foundation of every town in our state, and the cornerstone for the democratic principles of our country.

BP Backsliding

Dear Editor, The best tactic to major polluters that want to sweep their egregious environmental harms under the rug? Name and shame. To that end, I give you BP, the oil major formerly known as British Petroleum.

Executive Orders are a Mandate for Destruction

Dear Editor, Another day, another disappointing executive order. These EOs have by and large been blatant and undisguised power grabs, a way to flex the Executive branch of government's muscles; whether the other two semi-functioning branches of government choose to debate their validity and merit seems to depend on which …

For the Kids

Dear Editor, When someone asks me if I like going to school, I typically say yes. I enjoy my classes, and like my teachers. I get to hang out with my friends, and prepare myself for my future.

Making America great again?

Dear Editor, Forty years ago, while teaching kindergarten in the Sturgeon Bay Schools, I had an op-ed published in the Green Bay Press-Gazette about Reagan Administration cuts to Medicaid, the federal health care program that covers poor Americans.

People need to be aware of what Trump and Musk are doing

Federal Funding Freeze Fiasco

Dear Editor, Power is political. The power of flowing electrons, the power that keeps your lights on at night, your cell phone charged, and your TV blaring - power generation is being politicized like never before.

Crawford would be good addition

Dear Editor, Susan Crawford, a candidate for Wisconsin State Supreme Court, in the April 1 election, would be a good addition to our court. We have a legislature that leans strongly conservative, so a more moderate court would be a good balance for them.

Unconstitutional actions

Dear Editor, This past week I attended our local rally for social justice in front of the Iowa County Courthouse. Lots of passersby gave honks of support, but we heard a few jeers as well. One fellow shouted, “Get a job!” as he drove by.

Rule of Law

Dear Editor, The “rule of law” is an essential principle of our form of government, at all levels - local, state, and federal. Over 1,000 political scientists recently signed a warning statement, available at tinyurl.com/RuleofLaw1000.

Showing Up Matters

Dear Editor, The current Mineral Point Town Board petitioned for a recall election, costing taxpayers unnecessary dollars, yet they fail to consistently attend meetings, come prepared, or conduct town business efficiently.

February 20, 2025

Make Americans Greatful Again

Dear Editor, Kind of catchy isn't it. This was the basis for what President Joe Biden based his 4 years on in the White House.
