Regulating and taxing pot is getting a big push from Gov. Tony Evers. We took a look at a claim by Gov. Tony Evers, that if the state were able to regulate and legalize marijuana, it could generate $165 million or more starting in 2022, said Greg Borowski with the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.
Dan O’Donnell tests Congressman Mike Gallagher’s theory that COVID-19 was born in a lab and finds some surprising evidence.

Guest perspective by Dan O’Donnell
Wisconsin Congressman Mike Gallagher isn’t one for conspiracy theories. As a U.S. Marine Corps intelligence officer, he was trained to deal only in facts. And now the facts are leading him unmistakably to a conclusion that for more than a year has been dismissed as crackpottery.
COVID-19, he is convinced, escaped from a lab.
“Don’t mind me as I put on my tin foil hat,” he joked Tuesday before a radio interview in which he outlined the convincing evidence that the SARS-Cov-2 virus originated in the Wuhan Institute of Virology.

GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ) â Congressman Mike Gallagher is proposing a very Wisconsin-esque plan to encourage people to get vaccinated.
âWeâve gone from having a supply problem having a demand problem, where we have enough supply but we donât have enough people wanting the vaccine. The question is: how do you incentivize people to get vaccinated?â Gallagher said. âOne option would just be to get prominent people like Aaron Rodgers and Giannis to promote vaccinations, but the other is the simple Wisconsin incentive.â
That incentive? Free beer for getting the shots.
The basic idea would provide coupons for free beer at a local restaurant or brewery as people receive their vaccinations.
