But it's unfair to ignore that it means more about how Milwaukee stands against our nation's biggest cities than to places such as Las Cruces, N.M., or Broken Arrow, Okla., ...

But one thing the Editorial Board has never doubted was the wisdom of creating the DCF as a stand-alone agency. This has allowed for a specific focus on Child Welfare. This separation occurred under the watch of Gov. Jim Doyle about two years ago. But there is a fear circulating among children's advocates. That is that Gov. Scott W...
