    1 month ago | insightonbusiness.com | Bennet Goldstein

    Dueling proposals would protect certain “innocent landowners” — those who didn’t knowingly cause PFAS pollution on their land — from financial liability to clean it up under the state’s spills law. Democratic Gov. Tony Evers’ narrower proposal would exempt only residential and agricultural properties polluted with PFAS-contaminated sludge.

    Democratic Gov. Tony Evers and Republican lawmakers continue to dig in their heels during a yearslong tug-of-war over how regulators should hold property owners liable for contamination caused by “forever chemicals” known as PFAS. They are pushing competing proposals to protect so-called innocent landowners — those who didn’t knowingly cause their PFAS pollution — from liability under Wisconsin’s decades-old environmental cleanup law.

  • ‘Not safe without this care’: Wisconsin Medicaid recipients fear budget cuts

    Hundreds of protesters gathered in front of U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson’s Madison office Tuesday to voice their concerns over potential cuts to Medicaid. The Republican-led Congress is considering significant cuts to Medicaid, the government health insurance program for low-income households. In Wisconsin that includes programs like BadgerCare Plus, which serves children, pregnant people and non-disabled adults, and long-term care programs for people with disabilities and seniors.
