On the same day Madison Mayor Satya Rhodes-Conway announced her reelection bid, I spotted this unconvincing yard sign today at an East Side garage sale. Dyke was mayor from 1969-73. If this was Dyke's slogan in 73, no wonder a young guy named Paul Soglin beat him. #wipolitics

The chancellor is leaving. The president got fired. The athletic director jumped before he could be pushed. That’s a lot of turnover at the top for UW-Madison & UW system. It’s also an opportunity to reset priorities for higher ed. madison.com/opinion/edit... #onwisconsin #wipolitics #highered

Wisconsin consumes almost 6 times as much energy as it produces. Our state is going to have to generate a lot more power — the clean kind — to save our pocketbooks and the planet. Here's our Earth Day editorial, endorsing the Columbia wind project: madison.com/opinion/edit... #wipolitics #EarthDay

Taxpayers shouldn’t have to bail out the University of Wisconsin athletic dept following its second losing football season with a coach whose sweetheart contract requires more than $20 million just to get rid of him.

U.S. Rep. Tom Tiffany seems as timid and subservient to Trump as ever. That won’t help his bid for governor this fall. Wisconsin needs a leader for the Badger State, not a yes-man for Washington’s abuses. Here's today's editorial: madison.com/opinion/edit... #wipolitics #minneapolis
