  • National tour on bias education comes to Wisconsin

    A national educational tour from the Smithsonian Institution is making two stops early this year in Wisconsin, hoping to work with community partners to teach people about better understanding bias, recognizing it in themselves, and how to counter it.

  • What's up with the skyrocketing cost of used cars?

    According to Edmonds.com, the average used vehicle in the United States costs nearly $30,000. In some cases, that’s more than new cars. We look at what’s driving up the prices, when they may come back down, and what potential buyers can do in the meantime.
