  3. Feingold opposed Patriot Act

    Who voted against the Patriot Act because of its broad ability to collect private phone and email information? Sen. Russ Feingold. Maybe we should pay more attention to the people running for office in this State.

  6. GOP undermines state's reputation

    As state Republican lawmakers pass coercive and intrusive abortion measures, they threaten to undermine Wisconsin's reputation as a forward-thinking, reasoned state.

  8. Editorial: Let legislator know what you think of the budget

    The state of Wisconsin is expected to have a $670 million surplus as of July 1. If the 2013-15 state budget the Joint Finance Committee forwarded to the Assembly goes through, the state will have a $505 million deficit going into the next two-year spending plan.

  12. Schools superintendent skews funding facts

    I’m responding to Michelle Langenfeld’s biased guest commentary on June 9. Langenfeld claims vouchers raise property taxes. This is mathematically impossible considering the cost per student in Green Bay will be based on the Milwaukee school district. Public schools there receive $13,441 per student, charters receive $7,775, and choice receives $6,442. Since it costs less to pay for children to attend choice schools, the property tax levy can only be less with choice.

    Water may well be the most valuable natural resource. We need it to survive. Therefore, limiting the ability to protest those who tap great amounts of our ground- and surface waters makes no sense.

    In less than two months, an idea to address the 'eyesore' of an entrance of the Brown County Central Library has grown into a proposal and is now an approved plan with 70 percent of the funds raised for it.

  21. Brown Co. should take care of existing facilities

    I don't understand Brown County government. At a time when the Resch Center, Brown County arena and Central Library each need millions of dollars in repairs and upgrades due to years of neglect by the county, the county is moving in other directions.
