Nature and Society: Waiting on spring

Well, it looks like spring. It smells like spring. And it sounds like spring. The cardinals are singing, the titmice are calling and the squirrels are chasing up and down. But it's way too early for real spring, so what is this? I don't like to think that it is another example of how our climate is changing.

Letter: This is not diplomacy

What happened in the White House Friday was a disgrace to our nation. We should be ashamed of our  President and Vice President, two bullies humiliating and demeaning a true leader who's worked tirelessly to save his country and  democracy from a Russian dictator.

Americans’ current state of anger will force someone, to take action to alleviate the hurt.  People are feeling left out with no control over their future.

Letter: Why money for this, but not for that?

Just a bunch of wondering.  1. Tanny Badwin and Mark Pocan talks about woman's health, yet they voted against the Riey Laken and Men in women's sports.  Furthermore, they see no problem with men using women's locker rooms.

Letter: This all seems eerily familiar

The state budget battle begins, but it proves to be “déjà vu all over again.” Since 2019 the Republicans in the legislature throw out the Governor’s budget and start with their previous budget.
