Show Notes
Wisconsins Joint Finance Committee reworks Governor Everss opioid settlement funds plan, redirecting $15.5M to boost capital projects, medication-assisted treatment, and law enforcement efforts. The changes shift money away from some original ideas towards broader prevention and response strategies, with a unanimous approval. Despite Democrat Representative Tip McGuires support, he feels certain investments still fall short, while Republican co-chair Mark Born praises the new setup for strengthening prevention alongside treatment and enforcement. Meanwhile, Madison police report year-over-year crime drops, signaling positive trends amid these public health pushes.
