Most Milwaukee students not attending MPS schools

(The Center Square) – For the first time, most students in Milwaukee are not attending one of Milwaukee’s public schools. Marquette University Law School senior fellow Alan Borsuk published his research in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel on Wednesday. "Half of the children who live in the city of Milwaukee and who receive publicly funded education are enrolled in the Milwaukee Public Schools system. And half are enrolled in schools that are not part of MPS," Borsuk wrote. "It’s a reality with major implications." Borsuk's research shows that there are 104,363 students in Milwaukee this year. He said that about half, a little more than 50,000 go to either private voucher schools or public charter schools. "More than 50,000 Milwaukee students are now getting education outside of MPS schools. Whether you like school choice programs or not, whether you like or dislike the impact of school choice on the conventional public school systems, you can’t ignore the reality: None of those 50,000-plus children were assigned to go to non-MPS schools. Such assignments would be against the law. The kids are there by choice," Borsuk added. Will Flanders, with the Wisconsin Institute for Law and Liberty, said the choice part of Borsuk's

Ferney's Pizza Serves Up Fresh, Affordable Slices from Inside Riverwest Corner Store

“Pizza is a vessel,” chef Brian Cripps says. “It can be anything you want it to be, but the difference between OK pizza and great pizza is time, patience and ingredients.” He runs Ferney’s Pizza, serving up fresh, affordable slices from the back of Clarke Foods (832 E. Clarke) in Riverwest. Cripps describes his approach to pizza as “neo-New York” style, using dough made with high hydration and blended flours. Ferney’s is open Friday through Sunday from noon to 8 p.m. or until sold out.

We Energies must examine CEO's pay before pushing rate hikes | Letter

I see that We Energies requested a 9.25% and 5.5% rate increases for 2027 and 2028 (“We Energies electric rate hikes expected for 2027, 2028,” Nov. 4). Does it never end? Since 2023, rates have risen approximately 30%, according to the Citizens Utility Board for a monopoly with no competition and a guaranteed rate of return of approximately 10%. Any other business would salivate for these terms. Consumers are already struggling in an increasingly unaffordable environment. Food, fuel, housing and health care are at least subject to the market, more or less. Not We Energies. So what can be done? Clearly, the current system isn't working. A municipal utility owned by taxpayers? Opening the market to competition? Both deserve a look. We also need a Public Service Commission with backbone to stand up to We Energies and sincerely look out for the public, not one that rubber-stamps whatever We Energies brings forward. And it is past time We Energies looked within for cost savings before turning to double-digit increases. Why not start with executive pay? For example, the CEO earned $12 million last year. I hope our new governor and state legislature look long and hard at these never-ending requests
