Meeting in Chippewa Valley Tech’s Energy Education Center, chancellors or presidents from UW-Eau Claire, UW-River Falls, UW-Stout, Northwood Technical College and CVTC talked about how they cooperate among themselves to produce students who contribute to western Wisconsin’s economy – often working with business and industry along the way.

The NFL is a billion dollar industry. So, why is the state kicking in $2 million in taxpayer money to help pay for their party?

March has come and gone, as has the hope that our national leaders would actually reflect on COVID, including what we did right and wrong. And America, once considered an international leader on public health, has slipped down a few more notches.
