There are few federal or state regulatory protections for farmworkers from heat. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration in 2024 proposed a new standard that would more clearly define employer obligations and require employers to evaluate and control heat…

Over the past few months, a spate of Wisconsin towns and cities have withdrawn from Flock deals over privacy and trust concerns. As they did so, another issue revealed itself: With each city that leaves, the Flock network becomes less useful to the cities that remain. And cities are starting to notice. Consider Dane County, which includes the city of Madison. It’s one of the most populous counties in…
