I have a simple suggestion for the county executive and the Dane County Board: Do your jobs.
Referring to front-page article "Renovations underway for TPC Wisconsin" in Tuesday's Wisconsin State Journal, I wonder what the PGA Tour players will think about having to play with the F-35 fighter jets taking off and landing in close proximity?
A letter to the editor in Monday's State Journal concludes that vileness is the root cause of violence. It argued that something was lacking spiritually in those who commit mass shootings. I contended that removing weapons will not solve the problem. It starts out good, even though removing …
I was disappointed to learn recently that Gov. Tony Evers had forced John Tate to resign from the Parole Commission, and I hope the Wisconsin State Journal will devote more attention to this story.
Many Americans are blaming the Biden administration for inflation in the price of gas and other commodities.
I have kept the Dec. 5, 2021, Wisconsin State Journal editorial, "Fed up with gas prices? Get over it," in my "must respond" file for too long. The arrogance displayed by the State Journal in its opinion was unfortunately not surprising.
"More Catholic” was the phrase used in the headline in Monday’s Wisconsin State Journal article to describe the changes underway at Saint Maria Goretti Parish and School in Madison. A more accurate phrase might be the one used in the story: a “traditionalist approach.”
As we Americans prepare to celebrate the founding of our nation, remember that the Declaration of Independence states, “That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.”
Once again people of color have been given a holiday instead of real equality. That this is accepted is troubling.
On Jan. 6, 2021, a desperate Donald Trump, who clearly lost the 2020 presidential election, planned and publicly urged a violent mob to upend the election results and keep him in office. His actions were criminal, and he should be prosecuted as soon as possible for inciting the Jan. 6 riot (which he dismissed as a visit).
The political pundits have it all wrong.
After two acts of despicable cowardly vandalism -- one at a pro-life center in Madison a few weeks ago, and now at Vince's Restaurant in Monroe -- it's clear Democrats are terrified of upcoming elections.
Bishop Donald Hying recently supported withholding communion (the Eucharist) from U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif.
Hate, fear and rage are everywhere.
What is the cause of the massive shootings in America? Will the removal of all weapons stop the violence? No.
On June 6, mid-morning, I was driving on a Baraboo street when the car in front of me stopped suddenly, and the driver turned on the emergency lights.
Recently we learned that inflation has risen to 8.6%, the highest in 40 years. Average gas prices are over $5 per gallon. The cost of food is up. Issues are hurting the supply chain, including shortages in baby formula. Supposedly we are the greatest country in the world, yet we can't even feed our babies.
President Gerald Ford’s pardon of Richard Nixon set in motion a tradition that may destroy our democracy.
On Saturday, June 11, we were among 40-50 people who walked Viroqua’s main street in the rain in one of an estimated 450 March for Our Lives protests across America.
Like many folks reading the La Crosse Tribune, I have deep roots here in the Midwest. I have owned a business in downtown La Crosse for decades. I have grown to truly appreciate the sense of caring and community between my neighbors. Unfortunately, I struggle to feel that sentiment from some…
Barbara Richards (column on Wednesday) touched a nerve when she criticized Msgr. Robert Hundt, who is a holy shepherd who guides and protects his sheep with a loving, humble and faithful heart.

I was wondering recently how my bishop of the Diocese of La Crosse could have made such an insane decision to place Msgr. Burrill (accused by The Pillar of using the "hook up" app Grindr) into a parish. All that I could think was that my bishop must be "out of his mind." A good bishop protec…
The Logan Northside Neighborhood Association held its annual Spring Clean Up on Saturday June 4. It was a great success.
My first thought when I saw the article "La Crosse County seeks racial equity consultant" in the Tribune was clearly that the county has too much of our tax money burning a hole in its collective pocket.
In 2016 America elected a TV host of The Apprentice as our president. Many of us thought it was time for successful business man to lead our country. We didn’t realize Donald Trump was a serial business failure: Trump University, Trump Plaza Hotel, Trump Vodka, Trump Steaks, Trump Airlines, …
Elections for public office in the United States are at their best when they are run on a competition of ideas. Yet, the way our voting systems, from city council to the presidency, are designed can limit a voter's choices. Ranked choice voting offers a solution.
Voting is a right guaranteed in the Constitution. Every eligible American voter should be able to have a voice in deciding which people and policies will have an impact on their lives and their futures.
As a very experienced but now retired former teacher educator and staunch supporter of teachers, I listened with great interest to a WEAU-TV story Monday about La Crosse teachers calling for greater than the 2% pay increase offered by the La Crosse School District.
The city should pass a climate emergency resolution. We've already resolved to eliminate carbon emissions by 2050. That 2019 resolution was based upon scientists' best estimates of our carbon budget timeline. Now, we know that sooner is better.
