A bunch of unqualified or underperforming white guys are giving the rest of us in the group a bad name. We’ll have the latest on the Keystone Cops’ group text, whose members all seem to be getting a free pass for treating national security like an inconvenience. And Wausau’s mayor is at it again, giving himself duties that may not exist—after removing City Hall keycard access for a city council member with whom he was having a disagreement. Also: This week’s Climate Check guest updates his work to connect folks in Wisconsin with the resources that can help them remodel their homes, create jobs, save money, and cut carbon use.
