  • Wisconsin Faces Historic Blizzard Recovery While Legislature Passes Major PFAS and Healthcare Bills

    Wisconsin Faces Historic Blizzard Recovery While Legislature Passes Major PFAS and Healthcare Bills
    2026/03/22
    Wisconsin listeners are digging out from the historic Blizzard Elsa, which dumped a record 26.1 inches of snow on Green Bay, the most in 138 years, according to WLUK FOX 11. The storm hampered firefighting at a major business blaze in the city, where heavy snow and roof collapses forced defensive operations, WLUK FOX 11 reports. Cleanup continues amid gusty winds and travel advisories.

    In politics, the 2025-26 legislative session ended this week as the Senate gavels out until January 2027, per the Wisconsin Farmers Union. Key wins include bipartisan AB 130 and 131, releasing $125 million from the PFAS Trust Fund for contamination cleanup, water conservation, and DNR staffing, now awaiting Governor Evers' signature. Evers signed Senate Bill 23 on March 18, extending postpartum Medicaid coverage to 12 months, joining 48 other states. However, AB 24 passed, mandating sheriffs check jail inmates' immigration status and cooperate with ICE, drawing criticism from farm groups. Several GOP leaders, including Assembly Speaker Robin Vos, announced retirements.

    Economically, a data center boom promises jobs and growth, Wisconsin Watch reports. Construction phases could boost manufacturing, with three state firms securing over $1 billion in sales for equipment like cooling systems. Microsoft estimates 50 full-time operational jobs per center, potentially sparking tech corridors and infrastructure needs in rural areas, though long-term sustainability remains uncertain. School districts seek $509 million in April 7 referendums for renovations and safety upgrades, led by Howard-Suamico's $147 million ask, per The Daily Reporter.

    Community efforts shine in education and rural entrepreneurship, with the UW Extension's Connecting Entrepreneurial Communities Conference set for Green Lake in May.

    Looking Ahead, watch for Evers' action on PFAS bills, budget surplus debates for schools and taxes, and April referendums. Data center projects and nuclear restarts in Kewaunee County loom large.

  • Wisconsin Digs Out from Historic Blizzard Elsa as State Senate Passes Housing and Childcare Bills

    Wisconsin Digs Out from Historic Blizzard Elsa as State Senate Passes Housing and Childcare Bills
    2026/03/19
    Wisconsin listeners are digging out from the historic Blizzard Elsa, which dumped a record 26.1 inches of snow on Green Bay, the most in 138 years, according to WLUK FOX 11. The storm, hitting March 15 and 16, closed roads statewide, pulled plows off secondary routes like State Highway 64 in Marinette County, and complicated firefighting at a major Green Bay business blaze where heavy snow and winds forced defensive operations and roof collapses. Cleanup continues amid gusty winds and a lingering winter weather advisory.

    In politics, the state Senate wrapped what may be its final 2025-2026 session on March 17, passing Rep. Dave Armstrongs bipartisan bills tackling housing shortages and childcare. These include updates to low-income housing tax credits with rural carve-outs, historic tax credit expansions, and a business childcare tax credit mirroring federal incentives, now headed to Governor Evers, per WisPolitics. Critics from A Better Wisconsin Together called the session historically unproductive on costs, healthcare, and schools.

    Economically, infrastructure advances as major bids top $7.4 million for Woodville wastewater plant upgrades awarded to Market & Johnson, plus lead line replacements in Wausau and water main relays in Milwaukee, reports The Daily Reporter. We Energies gained approval for a 150 MW Rock County solar project, boosting clean energy, while HeartWorks pioneers preclinical biomedical innovation with WEDC support.

    Communities focus on education, with over a dozen districts seeking $509 million in April 7 referendums for safety upgrades, new middle schools in Whitefish Bay, and high school expansions in Howard-Suamico and Baraboo, amid stagnant state aid debates. Broadband efforts ramp up via the BEAD program.

    Looking Ahead: Watch April 7 school referendums and State Supreme Court race, plus Evers housing bill decisions and lingering storm recovery.

  • Wisconsin Digs Out From Historic Blizzard Elsa as Legislature Advances Infrastructure and Education Bills

    Wisconsin Digs Out From Historic Blizzard Elsa as Legislature Advances Infrastructure and Education Bills
    2026/03/17
    Wisconsin listeners are digging out from the historic Blizzard Elsa, which dumped 26.1 inches of snow on Green Bay, the most in 138 years, according to WLUK FOX 11. The storm from March 14 to 16 stranded dozens of vehicles on highways like I-94, with 50 mph winds complicating travel, as reported by Storm Chaser Aaron Rigsby. Gusty conditions persist under a winter weather advisory until evening, while cleanup begins amid travel not advised warnings across northeast areas. Compounding challenges, a major business fire in Green Bay saw heavy black smoke and roof collapses, with snow hampering firefighting efforts and sending employees home, WLUK FOX 11 notes.

    In politics, Senate GOP leaders proposed a calendar for March 18 featuring contentious bills on online gaming via AB 601, limited to tribal servers, and NIL funding for UW athletes totaling $14.6 million annually for Madison plus grants for Green Bay and Milwaukee campuses, WisPolitics reports. The caucus is split, with threats to Majority Leader Devin LeMahieu's position. Governor Tony Evers signed nine bills, including Safe Haven law updates and science teacher professional development via AB 237, now 2025 Wisconsin Act 94. A PFAS package with $132 million in funding cleared the Assembly unanimously.

    Economically, infrastructure advances with top bids like $7.4 million to Market & Johnson for Woodville's WWTP improvements and $4.7 million for Wausau's lead service line replacements, per The Daily Reporter. The DATCP awarded grants to 18 projects under the 2026 Commercial Nitrogen Optimization Pilot Program to enhance farming conservation, funded by the state budget Evers signed.

    Education sees progress, as WTCS approved technical college expansions like $1.9 million remodeling at Fox Valley Technical College in Appleton and $5.5 million new facilities at Waukesha County Technical College. UW-Platteville students built a greenhouse for Southwestern Wisconsin High School, Royal Purple News states.

    Looking Ahead: The legislative session ends March 19, with a special session on gerrymandering bans set for April 14, per MultiState. Broadband BEAD implementation and Commercial Real Estate Conference in November loom large.
