Scott Bauer reports Democrats focus on Wisconsin for 2020 convention, election:
MILWAUKEE — The head of the Democratic National Convention promised Tuesday that the event in Milwaukee this summer to choose the party’s presidential nominee will be focused more on substance than spectacle as part of a strategy to be more successful in key states such as Wisconsin.
Democrats failed in 2016 to communicate as effectively as they could have in key states, said Joe Solmonese, a longtime Democratic strategist and executive officer for the convention. He spoke to reporters at a media walk-through event Tuesday at the Fiserv Forum, six months before the July convention.
The event and more than 1,000 related events will bring an estimated 50,000 people to Milwaukee, bringing added emphasis to the importance of Wisconsin in the presidential race.
Miranda Suarez reports These Are The Rare Species Discovered Or Rediscovered In Wisconsin In Last Decade:
State conservationists confirmed the return of Blanchard’s cricket frog to Trempealeau County in 2017. Before that, the frog — which is listed as endangered in Wisconsin — hadn’t been documented there in more than 50 years.
A volunteer identified the frog by its distinctive call, a clicking sound the Wisconsin Citizen-based Monitoring Network describes as two ball bearings being smacked together.
Blanchard’s cricket frog is one of several species the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources said were discovered or rediscovered in parts of Wisconsin in the last decade.
One newcomer is the evening bat, the state’s first new bat species in more than 60 years, according to the DNR.
Evening bats are “an interesting sort of orange-colored, and some say sort of orange-peel-smelling” creature, said Owen Boyle, a DNR conservationist.
Bruce Murphy writes Journal Sentinel Promotes Long-Gone Writer:
On Sunday the Journal Sentinel, whose display ads have been shrinking for more than a decade, had an ad spot to fill and so it added a promotion for USA Today, whose parent company (Gatehouse-Gannett) also owns the Milwaukee daily.
The ad was certainly punchy. It featured a photo of writer Michael Wolff, with this come-on:
READ HIS COLUMN,
AND THANK YOUR LUCKY STARS
HE’S NOT WRITING ABOUT YOU
No none gives you sharp, brutally honest insights into the world of business quite like USA TODAY’S Michael Wolff.
Except, to be brutally honest, Wolff hasn’t written a column for USA Today since January 2017. Which, by process of elimination, would mean no one now offers such brutally honest insights in the newspaper.
