Oil stocks are booming while clean energy stocks are sagging.
The WisOpinion Insiders, Chvala and Jensen, take up divided government and the Republicans’ rejection of several Gov. Tony Evers’ key appointments to state agencies and boards. Sponsored by the Wisconsin Counties Association and the Tommy G. Thompson Center on Public Leadership.
How about an IQ test for lawmakers?
