Where you stand on the issue of Wisconsin's ""concealed carry"" law—which allows licensed gun owners to carry concealed weapons in public places and businesses—likely comes down to one question: Do you feel safer with more guns around you?
Walker worst for Wisconsin
The Daily Cardinal Editorial Board lists its most influential figures in Madison's 77 square miles surrounded by reality (apologies to Tammy Baldwin and Scott Walker, you'll have to wait for our state list).
The predominant belief of many students on campus, particularly freshmen, seems to be that if you don't sign a lease on an apartment by December, you will end up living in an old refrigerator box. But this belief could not be further from the truth.
One more round of midterm elections is in the books, and it was a sweeping victory for Republicans nationwide. While the GOP victory may not have been as dominant as many had projected, the Republicans were still able to take the U.S. House of Representatives, grab a lion's share of the country's governorships and oust Democratic senate stalwarts, including Wisconsin's own Russ Feingold. But here in Wisconsin's 2nd Congressional District, Democratic Representative Tammy Baldwin didn't even flinch.
Either candidate for Wisconsin's 77th district, Democrat Brett Hulsey or the Green Party's Ben Manski, will represent a liberal vote in the assembly. On a great deal of environmental and social issues Manski and Hulsey seem to be in agreement and would reflect the opinions of Madison and Middleton voters.
I can understand why my fellow members of The Daily Cardinal Editorial Board would want access to as many court records as possible. We are journalists and it is our job to get all necessary information out to the public.
Once again, Wisconsin Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen is using his elected state office as a Republican shouting point. But this time, he's not saying anything at all.
The purpose of an endorsement is, ostensibly, for a newspaper's editorial board to support the candidate it feels will do best if elected; which candidate the board wants to see in office. For that reason, The Daily Cardinal cannot give an endorsement in the Republican primary between Milwaukee County Executive Scott Walker or former congressman Mark Neumann.
As soon as Spencer Black announced he would not be seeking another term in the state Assembly, a plethora of candidates jumped forth all claiming to be his rightful successor. Long deemed to be one of the state's greatest champions of the environment, those seeking to claim his seat representing the state's 77th Assembly district trumpeted their credentials at the highest levels possible.
VILAS PARK – The situation was perfect. It was a familiar scenario; one that sets men up to become legends. And with 2009's hero watching from the dugout, it was Editorial Board Chairman Joe Labuz who ensured The Badger Herald would come off the diamond victorious for the second year in a row.
The Associated Students of Madison may not be the most exciting topic on campus. Bucky Badger's shapely body is probably more inspiring. But nonetheless, ASM is an integral part of our daily lives as students. The student government is charged with allocating $38 million in student segregated fees and giving students a voice in administration decisions through shared governance, and it is important that the right students are put in charge of that money.
In the Daily Cardinal article, ""Textbook Committee Superfluous,"" the editorial board argued that the creation of a shared governance committee that would focus on textbook cost would ultimately not greatly benefit students.
Plans for a new Central Library died last week. Weeks of debate were stifled by the uncaring hand of economics, another reminder that we inhabit a cold, harsh universe that is dictated solely by chance events often occurring at what we deem to be the worst possible times.
We would like to address the Daily Cardinal Editorial Board article titled ""Students should staff WISPIRG"" published in the Thursday, December 10, 2009 issue. Many of the statements made in this article are misleading and appear to have been taken out of context.
On Nov. 17, 2009, The Daily Cardinal published the opinion column ""Race deserves no place in university admissions."" Over the past several days we have witnessed a significant reaction to the article by students on campus, and it is obvious the article sparked a dialogue regarding issues of diversity at UW-Madison.
Following The Daily Cardinal Editorial Board's recent meeting with Mayor Dave Cieslewicz, budgetary issues tended to push other topics to the back burner. One subject that we made sure to address however was the recent compromise Cieslewicz brokered with the Common Council regarding a student serving on the Alcohol License Review Committee. After convincing Ald. Bryon Eagon, Dist. 8, to remove language making the student voting member a permanent position, Cieslewicz vowed to nominate a student to the seat once two new voting members were added to the ALRC.
With the recent vote on the capital budget, numerous city projects weighed heavily on the mind of Mayor Dave Cieslewicz. In light of the flurry of civic activity, The Daily Cardinal Editorial Board sat down with Cieslewicz and discussed some of the more pressing issues facing Madison.
Over a decade ago Plan 2008 was implemented to place an emphasis on increasing diversity at UW-Madison. The plan targeted American Indian, black, Hispanic and Southeast Asian-American students at an early age to give them structure and motivation, primarily through PEOPLE (Pre-College Enrichment Opportunity Program for Learning Excellence). However, the plan's sentiments were undercut a few years later when the university was embarrassed by the cover of an undergraduate magazine that had a black student pasted in to create the appearance of diversity. The university found out quickly that Photoshop is not a proper substitute for actual minorities on campus.
The Daily Cardinal and The Badger Herald often offer strongly opposing viewpoints on campus or city issues. But after Wednesday's meeting of the city's Alcohol License Review Committee, the main organization in Madison that decides alcohol policies citywide, we have agreed with the Herald's editorial board that a combined call to action is needed.
