More people are souring in their view of how Wisconsin is doing. A new Marquette University Law School Poll shows 51- percent of people think the state is on the wrong track. In March of last year, 61-percent of people thought the state was headed in the right direction. One reason for the massive shift may be the changing views on the coronavirus.

If you saw the signs and people in front of HSHS Sacred Heart, they were back out on the sidewalk making their voices heard. A crowd of nurses and others yesterday protested a possible vaccine mandate at the hospital.

Aaron Rodgers didn’t get either of the Jeopardy jobs. The show yesterday announced it will move forward with two hosts. Longtime executive producer Mike Richards will host the daily show, and Mayim Bialik will host prime time episodes and the tournaments.

Governor Tony Evers has a new 12-pack of beer to celebrate the Bucks’ championship. The governor yesterday collected his winnings from his bet with Arizona’s governor over the NBA Finals. Evers got a 12-pack of Mother Road Beer. Evers would have had to send some Usinger’s sausage out west had the Bucks lost. No word on if the governor actually drank the beer.
