  • Can public safety advocates find their voice

    to speak up for the sheriff’s budget? Dane County supervisors will entertain public comment tonight beginning at 6 p.m. on next year’s annual budget, which would cut 28 positions from the sheriff’s department. An amendment would freeze 20 positions for one year. (Here’s the agenda.) Final vote scheduled for Wednesday November 5. Attend in person…

  • The party of Defund the Police

    and making excuses for crime. As Dane County goes, so goes the Democratic party of Wisconsin. Democrats in every one of the other 71 counties — even Milwaukee — live in Dane County’s shadow.

    ‘The stuff that cannot be quantified’ After she defeated Blaska for Madison school board, Ali Muldrow invited your scribbler to her talk show on WORT-FM. Like any good progressive, the host Defunded the Police and sponsored race-based outcomes. The station itself sometimes resembles Radio Free Hamas.  Ms. Muldrow’s first question: “Are you carrying?” (“You don’t…
