  • Remembering The Life And Legacy Of Stan Lee

    Stan Lee, the legendary creator of comic book heroes such as Spider-Man, Iron Man and the X-Men, died this week at the age of 95. We look back on his life, legacy and contributions to American popular culture, from the earliest days of Marvel Comics to the latest big budget superhero films.

  • Continued Reaction To So-Called Dark Store Loopholes

    Sixty percent or more of Wisconsin voters approved a ballot measure in 23 counties, cities and villages encouraging lawmakers to close the so-called dark store loophole. We turn to a guest from Wisconsin Manufacturers and Commerce to get their response to these results, and consider what might be ahead for this in the state.

    NOTE: A guest from the League of Wisconsin Municipalities joined us on Nov. 13 to discuss the results to dark store referenda questions and talk about what he hopes is next on this issue. Find that audio here.

  • Wisconsin's Recycling Excellence Awards

    The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources awarded ten programs, businesses and organizations for their innovation and excellence in recycling. We’ll learn more about the winners and what we can do to participate in America Recycles Day.
