Efforts to encourage more Native Americans to vote are underway in more than a dozen states this year. Chuck Quirmbach reports on how things are going in Wisconsin, ahead of the state primary contests on August 11. The nonpartisan group Wisconsin Native Vote is about a decade old, and is now up to four organizers around the state. They have already been doing outreach at Pow Wows and a variety of other community events. Spokesperson and organizer Anne Egan-Waukau (Menominee) says a key message is that voting is a way to make sure Native voices are heard. “We tell people to vote for the Seventh Generation. That’s what really resonates with people, because our ancestors worked to make sure Mother Earth was clean and healthy for us. And, it’s our job to do that for our next seven generations. But also, it’s working to maintain our sovereignty.” Egan-Waukau says tribal sovereignty is an especially powerful theme for the Menominee, which only won back full tribal status in the early 1970’s after much activism and debate with state and federal elected officials. Still, this is not a presidential election year, and Wisconsin only has high-profile races for Governor, the U.S. House of Representatives, and the state legislature. Statewide voter turnout is expected to be down from 2024, but Egan-Waukau says there are some big problems, new and ongoing, likely to motivate tribal members to vote. “Like we had listening sessions and people came to talk to us about issues important to them, like data centers, the opioid problem we have on our reservations.” Egan-Waukau says she does encounter people who are cynical about voting and politicians, but she says she asks them do they really want to do nothing at election time. The Eklutna Tribe's Pow Wow and Potlatch happens only once every two years, but when it does, it draws hundreds of people to the village of Eklutna near Anchorage, as Rhonda McBride from our flagship station KNBA reports. The weekend of dancing, drumming, and feasting kicked off Saturday morning at the tribe's Pow Wow grounds. Aaron Leggett, the president of the Native Village of Eklutna, says what makes him most proud is that no one leaves hungry, because the tribe feeds everyone. “We'll have moose, various types of moose stew, and roast and fish, salmon. It's just sort of our way of really being open and good community partners.” Many also bring dishes to share. Leggett says the tribe had plenty to celebrate this year — including the groundbreaking for its long-awaited gathering hall, funded in part by the success of its new casino. The Chin’an Gaming Hall is in a temporary, modular near the Birchwood Airport. (Photo: Rhonda McBride) But more than anything, Leggett says, the gathering is a chance for Anchorage, Chugiak, and Eagle River to get to know their neighbors in the village of Eklutna. “There's certainly people that wouldn't necessarily, you know, when think of Eklutna, maybe they would think of the cemetery and the church but don't really have any sense of it. The Pow Wow, the Potlatch, really was our way of increasing awareness to the community and building that up.” The theme for this year's event was “Restoring our River — 97 Years Later”. It highlighted the tribe's efforts to restore the natural flow of the Eklutna River and its wild salmon runs. Treaty of Greenville depiction, 1795, artist unknown. On this day in 1795, the Treaty of Greenville was signed, ending the Northwest Indian War. The agreement between the U.S. and several Tribal Nations ceded much of present-day Ohio to the U.S., marking a major turning point in federal-Tribal relations and westward expansion.

June 24, 1974. Burlington, New Jersey. 14-year old Margaret Ellen Fox boards a bus to travel to the nearby township of Mount Holly in order to meet a man named John Marshall and never returns home. Days earlier, Margaret had placed an ad in the newspaper offering her services as a babysitter and received a phone call from Marshall, who offered her a job babysitting his son, but it seems apparent this was a set-up. Margaret's family receives a phone call and a pair of letters demanding a $10,000 ransom for her safe return, but the kidnapper eventually ceases all communication and Margaret is never found. October 9, 1984. Mercedes, Texas. 21-year old Kim Leggett disappears while working a shift at her workplace, the Ross Gin Company. Witnesses report having last seen Kim speaking with a pair of unidentified men, so there is fear that she was the victim of an abduction. Kim's family receives a phone call from an anonymous man demanding money for her safe return and they soon receive a ransom letter for $250,000 ransom. However, no instructions are provided for how to pay the money and no further contact is made, so Kim is never heard from again. On this week's episode of “The Trail Went Cold”, we explore a pair of unsolved kidnapping cases in which the victim's family received a ransom demand, but the victims were never found and the perpetrators were never identified. “The Trail Went Cold” will be appearing at AdvocacyCon, which is taking place at the Albuquerque Convention Center in Albuquerque, New Mexico on September 11-13, 2026.

An infrastructure advocate says the introduction of new AI data centres requires careful consideration. The Green Party wants a one-year pause on new centres, while rules for the industry are developed. It says the already consented facility in Southland is expected to use about 6% of the country's total electricity supply. Infrastructure New Zealand Chief Executive Nick Leggett told Mike Hosking that the benefit to New Zealanders must have weight in any new consents. He says the door to data centres should be open - but with adequate checks and balances. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Alim Leggett Returns to Comic Crusaders to Talk The Diary of Sweet Pea #3 and the Expanding Sweet Pea Universe There are indie creators, and then there are creators out here building full-blown emotional universes with patience, purpose, and serious artistic intent. That's exactly why having Alim Leggett back on the Comic Crusaders Podcast is such a win. Alim returns to the show with a brand new Kickstarter campaign, The Diary of Sweet Pea #3, the newest chapter in his growing Sweet Pea universe, and this one is coming with grief, intensity, inner demons, and the kind of emotional pressure that can crack a character wide open. According to the campaign, Imani is forced to confront her inner demons after refusing to accept that her father is no longer among the living. That alone tells you this is not just another "cool indie comic." This is personal. Alim has steadily built a reputation as more than just a comics creator. Across recent interviews and creator spotlights, he's described as a writer, artist, art director, founder of Alter Ego Arts, and father of five, with a strong focus on visual storytelling and making every panel matter. That creative philosophy fits Sweet Pea perfectly because the series isn't just trying to look cool it's trying to make you feel something. The larger Sweet Pea saga has been described in prior campaign materials as an apocalyptic sci-fi epic, but what makes it memorable is that all the scope and danger still revolve around very human pain, choices, and consequences. That's what makes this return conversation so interesting. Alim isn't just promoting another issue. He's showing what growth looks like when a creator sticks with a world, sharpens his storytelling tools, and gets bolder about the emotional core of the material. The Diary of Sweet Pea #3 looks like the kind of project that can hook readers with its genre edge and then land the real punch with character work. That combo is always dangerous in the best way. For Comic Crusaders listeners and readers, this is the sweet spot: creator-owned comics, real conversation, and a Kickstarter campaign fans can support right now while it's live. If you love seeing independent creators push their storytelling further and refuse to play small, this is absolutely one to keep on your radar.

The current landscape of the home furnishings industry has become increasingly precarious, as recent developments in trade policy have introduced a series of complex challenges that demand our immediate attention. A new customs crackdown, alongside a sweeping tariff proposal impacting sixty nations, has significantly elevated the stakes for businesses reliant on a global supply chain. Furthermore, the multitude of billions in refund claims now ensnared in legal uncertainty adds another layer of unpredictability to an already tumultuous financial environment. As we delve into the implications of these changes, it becomes evident that the principles of sourcing, pricing, and margin discipline are poised to be rigorously tested once more. We must approach the coming weeks with a proactive mindset, leveraging the opportunity for engagement during the public comment period on tariffs to advocate for our interests and to navigate through these turbulent times with strategic foresight.Takeaways:The recent proposal for new tariffs from the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative poses significant challenges for the home furnishings industry, potentially raising costs across numerous product categories.A multitude of new regulations and compliance requirements are expected to increase scrutiny on import practices and could lead to delays and additional expenses for retailers.Macy's recent performance indicates a shift in consumer behavior, where rising prices have led to a noticeable decline in demand for mid-tier furniture products, necessitating strategic adjustments by retailers.The acquisition of Leggett and Platt by Somni Group signals a consolidation in the bedding supply chain, which may affect component availability and pricing in the near future.The ongoing legal disputes regarding tariff refunds highlight the unpredictable financial environment for importers, complicating their planning processes amidst changing regulations.As the market evolves, retailers must adapt to a K-shaped economic recovery, focusing on cost management and diverse financing options to better serve value-sensitive consumers.
High hopes for today's Budget from health, infrastructure, education, and business leaders. College of GPs President Luke Bradford told Mike Hosking he's looking for some reallocation of health spending. He says we currently invest 6% of vote health in primary healthcare, compared to the OECD average of 14%. On the infrastructure side of things, Infrastructure NZ's Nick Leggett told Hosking he wants investment in new projects and maintenance of existing ones. He says we have to build some resilience into them so they don't fail earlier, because that just ends up costing more money. Secondary Principals' Council Chair Steve McCracken told Mike Hosking he has three things on his wishlist. He'd like to see an increase in operational funding for schools, a significant injection into senior secondary curriculum areas to support the implementation of the new qualification, and increasing vocational training places and support for those on that path. And finally, Business New Zealand Chief Executive Katherine Rich told Mike Hosking she's focused on economic indicators. She says they're going to be looking to see when the country returns to surplus and how the new expenditure contributes to economic growth.

The current episode elucidates the profound bifurcation within the furniture industry as revealed by the first quarter earnings of 2026. Notably, the disparities between companies that are thriving and those that are faltering have become increasingly pronounced, underscoring the significance of strategic positioning and preemptive decision-making. As we navigate through the data, we observe that successful entities, such as Havertys and Bob's Discount Furniture, are not merely fortunate; their advancements stem from deliberate enhancements in service and product offerings that cater to discerning consumers. Conversely, companies like Lyons Furniture Group illustrate the adverse consequences of failing to adapt to the evolving market dynamics. This discourse extends to the broader manufacturing landscape, where vertical integration emerges as a vital strategy amidst ongoing economic pressures, thereby highlighting the imperative for companies to cultivate resilience and foresight in their operational frameworks. The episode provides an incisive exploration of the furniture industry's current landscape, particularly in the wake of the first quarter earnings for 2026. The narrative unfolds with a focus on the diverse trajectories of various companies, emphasizing that the performance gap has become increasingly pronounced. On one hand, we observe Havertys, which has achieved consecutive quarters of sales growth, bolstered by a strategic emphasis on high-value transactions facilitated through their design program. The contrast is stark with Lyons Furniture Group, which has reported a decline in sales, underscoring the challenges faced by traditional retail models in an environment where consumer behavior is evolving rapidly. This juxtaposition not only highlights the necessity for strategic foresight but also illustrates the critical role that operational adaptability plays in ensuring sustainability in today's market. The discussion further delves into the mattress sector, where the dichotomy between vertically integrated companies and traditional manufacturers becomes apparent. Somni Group International's remarkable financial rebound stands in stark contrast to Leggett and Platt's declining sales, providing a compelling case study on the advantages of vertical integration in mitigating the risks associated with market volatility. The analysis raises pertinent questions regarding the viability of traditional supply chain models in the face of rising costs and shifting consumer expectations, urging industry players to reevaluate their operational strategies. In addition to financial performance, the episode touches upon the implications of strategic partnerships within the industry, particularly the alliance between Palliser Furniture and Moto Motion. This partnership is indicative of a broader trend towards strengthening supply chain resilience amidst tariff pressures and global competition. The insights gleaned from this collaboration underscore the importance of strategic positioning and market integration as companies strive to navigate the complexities of the modern economic landscape. As we conclude, it becomes evident that the path to success in the furniture industry lies in a deep understanding of market dynamics, customer preferences, and the willingness to innovate in response to ongoing challenges.Takeaways:The first quarter of 2026 has revealed a stark divergence between companies gaining market share and those losing it, underscoring the importance of strategic decision-making prior to this period.Havertys' success is attributed to its robust service and design infrastructure, which has allowed it to convert higher value transactions despite a decline in foot traffic.Conversely, Lyons Furniture Group's decline in sales highlights the detrimental impact of macroeconomic factors and poor strategic positioning within the competitive landscape.The mattress sector is witnessing a bifurcation, where vertically integrated companies like Somni Group are thriving, while standalone operators confront significant structural challenges.HNI Corporation's acquisition of Steelcase has led to a substantial increase in revenue, albeit accompanied by significant integration costs and a reported net loss for the quarter.The retail outlook heading into Memorial Day indicates an increase in consumer intent to shop; however, this comes with a notable reduction in planned expenditure per purchase.

The prevailing theme of this discussion is the pervasive uncertainty that currently envelops the furniture industry, a sentiment echoed by numerous executives and stakeholders alike. Over the past several years, the sector has navigated an array of formidable challenges, including tariffs, a global pandemic, and significant fluctuations in demand, which have collectively shaped a new, more volatile operational landscape. As we delve into the intricacies of retail sales trends, we observe a modest yet consistent growth in overall retail sales, juxtaposed against a more complex narrative within the furniture segment, which reveals a slight decline month over month despite a year-over-year increase. Furthermore, the juxtaposition of store closures alongside notable expansions underscores a significant reshuffling within the market, as established retailers retreat while newer players seek to capitalize on emerging opportunities. Ultimately, our discourse will illuminate the critical factors influencing recovery, including rising costs, consumer behavior, and the evolving dynamics of digital shopping, all of which collectively underscore the necessity for adaptability and strategic foresight in these unpredictable times. A comprehensive analysis of the current dynamics within the furniture industry reveals a landscape fraught with uncertainty, yet marked by resilience and adaptation. The discourse begins by acknowledging the myriad challenges that have besieged the sector over the past several years, including tariffs, the pandemic, and supply chain disruptions. These events have not only caused fluctuations in demand but have also instigated a profound shift in the industry's perception of normalcy. The prevailing sentiment among industry insiders is no longer one of a temporary phase, but rather an acceptance that the new normal comprises intermittent stability punctuated by episodes of disruption. This mentality necessitates a recalibration of strategic planning, inventory management, and risk assessment across all levels of operation. Amidst these challenges, the episode underscores a notable resilience in retail sales, particularly in the context of tax refunds propelling consumer spending. While overall retail sales exhibit modest growth, the furniture segment reflects a more nuanced picture of demand—a slight month-over-month decline juxtaposed against a year-over-year increase. This suggests that consumers remain selective in their purchasing behaviors, prioritizing larger investments with greater deliberation. The simultaneous occurrence of store closures and expansions further illustrates the evolving marketplace; notable establishments such as Howard Hill Furniture are shuttering their doors while companies like IKEA and Gardner White are boldly entering new territories. Such a dichotomy signifies not merely a contraction of the market but a strategic reshuffling, wherein robust entities capitalize on emerging opportunities while weaker players withdraw. The episode culminates in a discussion of significant corporate maneuvers, notably the planned acquisition of Leggett and Platt by Somni Group International—a development emblematic of the broader trend towards consolidation within the industry. This strategic acquisition aims to enhance operational efficiency and innovation while maintaining existing customer relationships, an approach that reflects the necessity of adapting to an increasingly competitive landscape. The dialogue concludes with a contemplative examination of the obstacles hindering a swift recovery, including rising costs and changing consumer behaviors. Executives express a cautious optimism, foreseeing a gradual recovery underpinned by fluctuating consumer confidence and evolving market conditions.Takeaways:The furniture industry is currently characterized by a profound sense of uncertainty, reflecting a shift in how professionals perceive the environment, as stability gives way to a new normal of continuous disruption.Recent retail sales data reveals a modest growth trajectory, with furniture sales demonstrating resilience despite slight month-over-month declines, indicating that consumer spending remains selective and cautious.A significant acquisition within the industry involves Somni Group International's planned acquisition of Leggett and Platt, emphasizing the ongoing trend of consolidation aimed at achieving greater scale and efficiency amidst rising costs.The dual phenomenon of store closures alongside new openings illustrates a reshuffling within the market, where established retailers exit while more agile firms expand, signifying a transitional phase rather than outright decline.Rising costs attributed to raw materials, logistics, and tariffs are constraining margins and necessitating cautious consumer behavior, as individuals prioritize essential purchases over discretionary spending.Looking ahead, key indicators such as housing turnover, consumer confidence, and inventory levels are critical for predicting a potential recovery, suggesting that the industry must navigate a complex landscape of economic variables.
One expert says it's important Auckland makes the most of what it has in terms of infrastructure, rather than daydreaming about future mega-projects. Infrastructure New Zealand is calling for more investment in Auckland's transport woes in order to boost the city's productivity. CEO Nick Leggett says Auckland needs to unlock the right tools to make the most of the city - and said a congestion charge is needed to fund more infrastructure.

Before the industry caught up… we were already there. Milestone Media didn't just create heroes. They created mirrors. They gave the Blerd community something rare at the time — authentic representation that wasn't a side story, but the main event. Characters like Icon, Static, Rocket, and Hardware didn't ask for permission to exist. They demanded to be seen. That same spirit lives on today. This Tuesday, we sit down with Alim Leggett — writer, artist, art director, husband, father of five, and creator of the indie comic force known as Sweet Pea. A creator carrying the torch forward. A storyteller proving that representation isn't nostalgia — it's evolution. We're talking about: ⚡ How Milestone Media reshaped the cultural and creative landscape ⚡ What representation truly means from the Blerd perspective ⚡ The creation and rise of Sweet Pea ⚡ Why every panel matters — and why our stories matter more than ever This isn't just an interview. This is legacy, impact, and the future — all in one conversation.YouTube ➡️ @blerdseyeview Twitch ➡️ @blerdseyeview1

What if creating championship-level performance has far less to do with the team you inherit and everything to do with your own mindset and how you lead, design systems, and set standards from day one? That question came up again and again in my conversation with Donzel Leggett, a leadership strategist, executive coach, and the award-winning author of Make Your Destiny Happen. We dive into what leaders can learn from one of the most talked-about leadership turnarounds in sports this season: Curt Cignetti and the remarkable transformation of Indiana Hoosiers football.

With more than three decades of leadership experience at Fortune 200 companies, Donzel helps leaders and organizations build clarity, capacity, and intentional leadership. He's also a former Academic All-America football player, which makes his perspective on leadership, discipline, and performance especially powerful.To access the episode transcript, go to www.TheEmpathyEdge.com, search by episode title.Listen in for…What leaders need now to stay grounded, adaptable, and effective amid rapid change and disruption.How to translate big ideas into repeatable behaviors that actually create change over time.Helping individuals take control of their lives and make their destiny happen through life planning and consistent action.
