The Capital Times used to be independent and progressive, but they struggle to maintain that since they were consolidated - with the State Journal - into Madison Newspapers. The Isthmus and The Progressive are great.<br /><br />The link in the letter should take you to the article, and YES, you can comment by creating an id/account. Easy.
