Happy 420 Day (the annual day of action for Marijuana legalization). Unfortunately, in Wisconsin this freedom remains elusive and is costing the state $165 million in revenue. We recap Tax Day this Tuesday where Citizen Action released a new report from Americans for Tax Fairness which shows that when billionaires and corporations dodge taxes, American families pay the price in threats to critical social supports such as Medicare, Medicaid, and food assistance. Congress needs to pass President Biden's wealth tax and reject the House GOP's push for making permanent the Trump tax cut. We welcome Joe Evica, the chief steward of the union at CUNA Mutual in Madison (OPEIU Local 39), to discuss a strike vote their members took on Wednesday and the media event they will have on Monday, April 24th at 6pm at the South Central Federation of Labor in Madison. If you live in Dane County, the union urges you to attend the event to show community support. The Milwaukee Common Council unanimously voted this week to demand the giant hospital chain Ascension re-open the birthing and delivery unit at St Francis Hospital in Milwaukee and called on them to stop disinvesting from the City. We discuss a Green New Deal Resolution to be reintroduced in Congress and its critical importance to dealing with the climate crisis and creating family supporting union jobs for everyone across Wisconsin. Robert also attended an event with mayors and Governor Evers to tout the opportunity of federal money for climate change from Inflation Reduction Act, Infrastructure Law. We also received more news this week exposing the increasing Mississipification of Wisconsin by the GOP, as new data revealed the state is now in bottom 10 for public college funding. Finally, craven Republicans continue their ugly smear campaign against long time Racine criminal justice and police reformer John Tate II
Demonstrators criticize an Ascension Wisconsin leader who the union says is responsible.

What all the ERs across the country are finding is that people are still staying away due to COVID fears and the fact that the messaging at the start of COVID was to stay away from ERs unless you really needed to be there. Unfortunately many ended up dying at home or staying away too long so that they were critically ill on arrival.Our hope is to convince people it is safe to come to the ER or hospital to avoid the delays that led to catastrophic consequences for people.

This week host John Voket opens celebrating Heart Month with a specialist in women's cardiovascular health from St Francis Hospital and health Center. Then we'll replay a brief call-in with Operation Fuel's brand new executive director, and learn why now more than ever, donating a dollar on each utility bill can help a Connecticut family or senior out in the cold. And we'll close taking a spin down to the New England Carousel Museum in Bristol, to showcase this hidden gem of a destination right in the heart of Connecticut.
This week as state lawmakers are weighing bills to legalize marijuana - and consumer officials expand the types of ailments that qualify patients for medical marijuana - host John Voket will be opening and closing the show covering the issue. First, we'll chat with HEMP CT, which has supported several laws tied to medical marijuana, hemp use in manufacturing, and is lobbying to legalize pot for recreational use. Then we'll wrap learning about a hospital-based study using medical marijuana instead of opioids for post surgical pain relief. And in-between we'll catch up with the folks at Bye-Bye Mattress to find out how Connecticut's pioneering mattress recycling program is working, and putting residents to work while saving the planet!
