What is the latest "solution in search of a problem" being sold as a way to reduce taxes but is more likely to raise them? What is the latest un-necessary, misguided, "scorched earth" rhetoric that DIDN'T come from campaigning? What happens to your ballot if you vote in-person absentee?
In under eight minutes we answer all these questions and end with words of wisdom about reconsidering the "aggressive rhetoric" tactics.
All in less time than it takes to re-rake the leaf pile after your spouse/child/pet/neighbor/mail carrier messed it up by jumping in.

...and as always, thanks for listening.

This week we look at simple interpretations of the Supreme Court arguments around Governor Evers' 400 year tax increase, the earth shifting under Jill Underly's feet. We also start and end with the Shift10 movement and the ways it can impact your life. All this in less time than it takes to procrastinate buying Halloween candy. And as always, thanks for listening. You can find us on UA-cam, Spo...

This week, we look at the honest answers to some hard questions: ? Why did New York get selected from the "you can't make this stuff up" file? (Because we don't like the Mets at the moment and it's our way to show solidarity with the Brewers.) ? When the Marquette Poll asked people to chose between school funding and tax increases, what did Wisconsin voters chose? ? When asked whether Wisconsin...

This week we make an effort to find reasons the glass is half full: Is the federal government looking to expand paths of nuclear power? Yes! Is our state government changing its pattern of major spending increases? Yes! Do we pull another story from the "you can't make this stuff up file"? Yes! We cover all this and end with a quote from Ronald Reagan's inaugural address as Governor of Californ...

This week get caught up on some headlines and pressing questions: ? Who is to blame for the roads dispute between the Lac de Flambeau Ojibwe tribe and Wisconsin's state, county, and local government? Both sides. We look at what Governor Evers and the Legislature need to do to resolve this, and neither of them will like it. ?

This week we are able to re-open the "You Can't Make This Stuff Up File". I won't share more so I don't spoil the irony. We look at some newly spent Inflation Reduction Act money. Will it reduce inflation? Also, we take a peek at a few numbers around the UW Campuses and the Madison campus. What is one of the early ideas being floated about making the System stronger? There may also be some comm...

This week we aren't pulling any punches: We look at corporate tax rates and why the smaller you are, the more that they hurt. We look at some of the REAL indicators of where the economy is at, and it isn't pretty. We look at how you can never take anything for granted when people will validate bad ideas by simply bringing them up as options. We look at how Minnesota is an overachiever, but not ...

This week we are looking at two headlines from the "You Can't Make This Stuff Up" file: Headline: The smell of cooking food is actually air pollution, study finds Headline: What is corn sweat and how is it making the Midwest’s heat wave this week worse?

This week's theme is unfortunate. Every once in a while, it's our duty to look at the disappointing results we get from government, in spite of its best intentions. It's a recurring theme of Jack and the Beanstalk, but always being on the side of the big clumsy ogre. We start with the Wisconsin Veterans Museum getting thrown a curveball, which even in the best case scenario, is going to keep dr...

This week, we pick three of the many industries that Wisconsin seems to dominate: First, while Abe Frohman may have been the sausage king of Chicago, we look at who is the sausage king in the United States and when you should fire up the grill... Next we look at cranberries, and how we dominate that industry, and wise guys that came in at a surprise number three. Next we look at politics and lo...

This week, we answer numerous questions: How did Milwaukee County go from projecting a 31 million dollar surplus to a 6 million dollar deficit in just a matter of months? How have the constitutional amendment questions turned into short sighted bickering over a long term question? What insurance premium is actually going down instead of leaping higher? All this and a Thomas Jefferson quote on g...

This week we start by asking: Does the Olympics get called for a false start if they conduct events before the opening ceremonies? The answer is no, but we go over critical Olympics etiquette and some related holidays. We look at federal proposal was heard in committee today that would establish a first for Wisconsin and give another notable boost to our Northwoods tourism economy. We also go d...
