Larry Dufek of Dairyland Farms near New Franken has joined with UW-Oshkosh researchers and Agra Energy in a project on the nation’s first biogas refinery that would convert manure and food waste to liquid vehicle fuel. That could include diesel and jet fuel.
This holiday season please get vaccinated and boosted with the updated bivalent shot. This could be the best gift you give those you love and yourself.
Ending the river of revenue that is shared revenue would help the state end the income tax. After all, the income tax is the only reason shared revenue exists.
Flanked by some of the fattest cats in Big Labor, the president last week announced $36 billion in federal taxpayer money will go to bail out the mismanaged Central States Pension Fund. It’s part of some $90 billion marked for multi-employer pension relief crammed inside the mammoth American Rescue Plan Act.
Exploiting political divisions and making things worse
The WisOpinion Insiders, Chvala and Jensen, look at the growing field of candidates and the issues and dynamics at play in the race to replace retiring Supreme Court Justice Patience Roggensack. Sponsored by the Wisconsin Counties Association and Michael Best Strategies.
We were warned throughout this summer and early fall to expect the worst, that people cared more about the price of gas than the future of free and fair elections.
Across the state they are always more Democratic than the rest of the county.
Wisconsin’s per capita GDP in comparison to other Midwest states is troubling. Even more troubling: we’re trending in the wrong direction.
As inflation remains stubbornly high, we put trust in his policy proposals to cut sky high costs, but his alarming rhetoric about endangering Social Security benefits is a major concern to older Wisconsinites.

Mergers hike prices and corporate pay, lower quality. The Aurora Advocate merger with Atrium will do all three.
Now up to an ‘unprecedented’ $6.8 billion. But can Evers and Legislature agree on any plans to spend it?
Georgia is now the fifth high-profile, swing state that repudiated Donald Trump’s hand-picked candidates.
Fresh off his reelection win, look for Gov. Tony Evers to double down on his far left agenda in the budget battles ahead.
The Line 5 relocation will provide economic benefits to small businesses, tax revenues to the state, create 700 good-paying Wisconsin jobs, and has been engineered to minimally impact the environment.
We cannot continue using fossil fuels for decades more. We must put all our intelligence into a quick transition to renewable energy — one that helps the people who would be hurt financially, such as oil workers and people who can’t afford to install solar panels.
Stopping environmental destruction and setting fair wages and fair prices.
