The Wisconsin Supreme Court will review the validity of the state constitutional amendment passed in 2006 banning same-sex marriage and civil unions Tuesday.
A bill prohibiting minors from drinking in taverns passed out of the Assembly Committee on Urban and Local Affairs Thursday.
This Tuesday the state Senate overwhelmingly passed a bill that would ban all drivers from texting behind the wheel. Drivers caught texting could face fines ranging from $20 to $400, the same rates assessed by a pre-existing state law against inattentive driving. The bill passed 27-5 but must be approved by the Assembly before becoming law.
The last time I paid to watch a sporting event was last summer to watch the Brewers play. One of the best things about Miller Park, despite the inflated prices, is the stadium always allowed fans to carry in whatever snacks they might have brought from home to enhance the experience. Fans' bags were inspected on arrival, and upon entrance attendants observing that Mr. and Mrs. Baseball-Fan had nothing more than peanuts and sunflower seeds in their bags, they were allowed in.
An amended bill that would ban drivers from text messaging passed the state Senate Tuesday.
Alcohol policy in Madison is rarely simple, straightforward or one-size-fits all. Any proposed policy must be thoroughly vetted in terms of its impact on students, bar owners, police and the general community. This is a city that demands public participation in such decisions and should not be one that unfairly singles out a particular constituency for inappropriate burdens on personal rights.
Harry Potter: It?s ridiculous that there are places in the U.S. that would ban ?Harry Potter,? it?s perfectly appr?Ron! Where?s that hand going?!?
This week I was twiddling my thumbs and thinking of new ways to make reading exciting for all of my very favorite people in the world (read: the two of you who pick up the Wednesday paper for the arts section and not the Graph Giraffe) when yet another one of my brilliant ideas occurred to me. What do college students like to do more than sitting, eating free unhealthy food and/or watching TV?
The Norwegian Nobel Peace Prize committee's October 9 announcement that Barack Obama won the 2009 Peace Prize came as a shock to most.
When students compile their grocery lists, they face the decision of where to buy their food and what type of food to buy, how much to spend and how far to travel. What students may not know is that the origin of their food largely drives their decision, because the source of food sets the quality, health effects and cost.
I hear a lot about gay rights as a student in Madison but the discussion is almost exclusively one- sided. The newspapers, the administration, multiple campus groups—everyone seems to be pushing for equal recognition of same-sex partnerships here at the UW. While we live in a hotbed of activism and support for homosexuals, our state did ban gay marriage. Not in the legislature but in a public vote: no matter how loud Madison cries, the silent majority closed the books on this issue in Wisconsin.
As October is upon us, the start of the gun-hunting season is as well. Hunting has a rich history throughout our nation and state. Hunting is not only a recreational activity enjoyed by millions of Americans, but it is also an example of our guaranteed right to bear arms. ""A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the People to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed"" is clearly etched into the Constitution, guaranteeing gun rights for every American.
Plans to renovate Peace Park on State Street may sound appealing, but the estimated $1,000,000 price tag comes at a time when we should be tightening our expenditures as a city. Expenses that would not draw significant jobs or economic activity to Madison should be scrutinized, not rubber-stamped. From a new police training facility to the Edgewater development to a new central library branch, the city is currently staring down plenty of more beneficial multimillion-dollar projects.
The winner of the annual juried review of street-side vendors in the Library Mall area was unveiled at Tuesday's meeting of the Vending Oversight Committee.
Most Wisconsinites have never thought to choose between global warming and nuclear power. Today Wisconsin seems to be much more afraid of things heating up than of things melting down. But 26 years ago it was a different fear that kept environmental studies professors awake at night.
During halftime of last Saturday's football game, the UW band once again regaled us with what I assume was a wonderful performance, though I couldn't really hear it in the student section. Usually the halftime performances are more for the benefit of the adults, with the students occasionally engaged by a song like ""Sweet Caroline"". However, my mid-game space-out was interrupted by the announcer, as he informed us the band was now playing ""the time-honored classic ‘Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah'"".
Multiple groups petitioned the state Supreme Court Tuesday regarding a lawsuit attempting to strike down Wisconsin's domestic-partner benefits law.
Soda aficionados, next time you go grocery shopping, be sure to get enough of them, at least for the rest of the year. A panel of researchers and policy makers are advocating for a penny per ounce tax on all sugary beverages, including not only soda, but also energy drinks, many juices and ice teas. President Obama has said it's worth considering. If the proposal becomes law, you'll end up paying 50% more for your 12-pack refridgerator case of Mountain Dew.
A new 75-cent tax on cigarettes went into effect Tuesday, raising the total Wisconsin cigarette tax to $2.52 per pack, the fifth highest state tax on cigarettes in the nation.
After Gov. Jim Doyle announced he would not seek re-election last week, many were left wondering if his retirement would lessen the political competitiveness of Wisconsin's 2010 gubernatorial election.
