Acting together
An agreement between Wisconsin and Michigan to cooperate on climate change has much potential, especially if other states join the effort.
We favor Zamarripa
The candidates for the 8th Assembly District seat see education, taxes and jobs as the top concerns for the area. JoCasta Zamarripa's passion gives her the edge.
Enough is enough
Taxpayers should start asking questions about the size of their governmental bodies.
Rebuilding America
A presidential plan for more federal spending on infrastructure will put people to work. It's a plan Congress should approve.
Hammering home an idea: There aren't enough jobs
It's conventional on Labor Day to laud working men and women. They deserve it, but we're guessing that today they, like us, also have in mind those who want to work but can't.
Yes, to a Tosa stop
Wauwatosa Mayor Jill Didier should rethink her opposition to the possibility of a fast rail train stop in her city. A station there has the potential for real benefits for all concerned.
Findley earns our nod
Stephanie Findley knows the issues and is a lifelong member of the district. She is clearly the best pick.
We can do both
The region can provide a sound financial footing for commuter rail and for buses.
Get it together
In four Waukesha County communities, local officials are moving apart instead of closer together. That's the wrong way to go for taxpayers and good government.
Yes we can...
...do without the offices of state treasurer, secretary of state and lieutenant governor. It's time to eliminate them.
A solid tradition
Father Scott R. Pilarz takes over an institution on solid footing. But he should focus on ways to make MU more affordable.
Those dollar homes
The full Common Council should support a plan to help those whose homes were razed after the flood. The move will help neighborhoods.
Needless offense
Mukwonago school officials should consider dropping their defense of an American Indian logo that is a clear stereotype.
We go with Zipperer
Asked why he wants to move from the state Assembly to the state Senate, Rep. Rich Zipperer said he wants to play a bigger role on key issues such as jobs, the economy and budget reform, and that the Senate offers the opportunity to do more. Voters should give him that opportunity in the Sept. 14 Republican primary.
Nation building
In a speech Tuesday, President Barack Obama will tell the nation that he has kept a promise: Withdrawing U.S. combat troops in Iraq by the end of August, though about 50,000 service members will remain in this dangerous nation playing supporting roles.
MPS faces another tough year ahead
This fall, MPS will be operating with fewer teachers, larger class sizes, higher educational costs and no signs of a significant government bailout. If the district fails to control its costs, more jobs will be lost.

Taking ownership
Milwaukee County Executive Scott Walker took responsibility to clean up the mess at the Mental Health Complex. Good. He must see this job through to the end.
Yoo-hoo, Congress
The Federal Reserve laid down a marker on Friday when its chief vowed to do whatever is needed to bolster economic growth. But what about Congress?
Still not enough
Milwaukee County Executive Scott Walker needs to clean house at the county's Mental Health Complex to protect patients. His actions, so far, have been inadequate.
