WPT Midweek Moment

This week's theme is unfortunate. Every once in a while, it's our duty to look at the disappointing results we get from government, in spite of its best intentions.

It's a recurring theme of Jack and the Beanstalk, but always being on the side of the big clumsy ogre.

We start with the Wisconsin Veterans Museum getting thrown a curveball, which even in the best case scenario, is going to keep driving up the tab for taxpayers and keep the Museum without a permanent home for even longer.

Next, we look at the final recommendations from the Governor's Taskforce on the Healthcare Workforce. An industry where the cost of inflation is finally causing drastic increases to premiums and our pockets. What is their solution to the problem? (Hint: it rhymes with give us more government honey).

And finally, from the "You Can't Make This Stuff Up File" we look at the first emergency order issued by the EPA in over 40 years. We look at this to judge their reaction time on quickly protecting the people.

All this and a timeless quote so old, it is translated from Latin.

All this in less time than it takes for the slow driver in the left lane to realize you are behind them.

And as always, thanks for listening.
