Your Right to Know: A fund to fight government secrecy
In 2022, the Wisconsin Freedom of Information Council created a designated fund to help cover legal costs associated with fighting to pry records into the public domain. Called simply the WFOIC Legal Fund, it has never had more than $4,000 in its coffers. But the council, of which I am …

Reader thinks LUHS board should handle facilities plan themselves, no need for ‘35-member committee’

A voter’s fear: A dark turn of American politics

The Oct. 7, 2023 invasion of Israel by some 6,000 Hamas gunmen has changed America’s political conversation in multiple respects.
