  • Council refuses to kill independent police monitor

    or use money for police-worn cameras. Three alders attempted to eliminate the do-nothing Independent Police Monitor and the 11-member Police Civilian Oversight Board from the 2026 city budget. They wanted to use that $405,299 to pay for staffing to facilitate the eventual implementation of much discussed but long-delayed police body-worn cameras. Alders Isadore Knox, Joanne…

    Not content with fighting coal, it took on cops and Israel. It is a cautionary tale of what can happen to an organization and to a society that goes Woke.

Dane County Democrats set the agenda, run the party, and elect governors and senators from among their ranks. Thanks to Dane…

  • Defund the police is not dead

    Just more clever! Like we were saying in the last thrilling episode, the first impulse of the ruling UniParty here in Dane County is to slash law enforcement. After years of dithering over replacing an outdated and unsafe jail, our elected officials decided to build a new — but smaller — lock-up in Wisconsin’s fastest-growing…
