STEVENS POINT - A friend who lives in Wisconsin s gorgeous Driftless region reached out the other day in a worried mind. She was concerned about a proposed industrial wind project that would stretch wind turbines across hundreds of miles, visible from Madison suburbs to the bluffs of the Mississippi River.
The Driftless region, sometimes called Coulee Country, is revered for its rounded hills and steep valleys. It s among the world s most distinctive geologic regions, a vast area that the glaciers missed in parts of four states. Its beauty is magical, almost beyond comparison in the Midwest.

MADISON, Wis. A judge sentenced a Madison man Tuesday to 10 years in federal prison after he pleaded guilty to selling drugs in the Madison area.
The charges against Phillip Thomas stemmed from an investigation into reports that Thomas was selling drugs in the Madison area in March and April of 2020, just two years after he was released from prison for a 2012 drug conviction.
Thomas was ultimately sentenced to 100 months in prison for distributing 50 grams or more of methamphetamine plus an additional 30 months for revocation of his federal supervised release, court officials said. Thomas’ prison sentence will be followed by four years of supervised release.
Assembly Speaker Robin Vos blocking people on Twitter

Assembly Speaker Robin Vos
MADISON, Wis. - Wisconsin Assembly Speaker Robin Vos is again limiting who can interact with him on social media two years after a federal judge found he had unconstitutionally blocked a liberal group from following him on Twitter.
The Republican Vos on Sunday criticized Democratic Gov. Tony Evers in a pair of tweets. But he limited replies to those tweets to only the 768 accounts he follows, leaving out his toughest critics.
Vos s office did not respond to questions Tuesday about the tweets.
Two years ago, U.S. District Judge William Conley ruled that Vos and two other Republican lawmakers had violated the First Amendment rights of the liberal group One Wisconsin Now by blocking it on Twitter. That decision cost taxpayers $200,000 in legal bills from the lawmakers.
