  • Can Madison WI afford to be any more progressive?

    WANTED: ‘social & economic justice’ for taxpayers! In a few months, The Capital Times will encourage voters to elect progressives to local political office. We know this from bitter experience. • As in March 2021, it announced “endorsements for a strong, progressive city council.” • The next year, it recommended 13 “Progressive voices for April voters.”…
