The Share-the-Plate recipient for Sept. 14 and 21 is the Wisconsin Examiner. They are the largest nonpartisan, nonprofit new bureau covering Wisconsin state government, and they have no advertising, subscription fees, or paywalls. Their inspiration is the motto painted on a ceiling in the Capitol building: “The Will of the People is the Law of the Land.” For that to work, the people must be informed with reliable information. They were nominated by Erik Gunn.
