April 9th, 2011
The budget introduced this week by Republicans in the U.S. House of Representatives slashes $41.1 billion in federal funding for Medicaid, Medicare, and other health coverage programs in Wisconsin over the next 10 years, with $23.8 billion cut from Medicaid alone, according to an analysis released today by the consumer health group Families USA.

Minnesota WWII Plane Museum Needs Fire Sprinklers
April 4th, 2011
Members of a nonprofit Minnesota group that maintains a collection of World War II-era planes are scrambling to find money for fire sprinklers for the hangar that houses the vintage exhibit.
Officials in South St. Paul have told the all-volunteer organization that it can no longer hold fundraisers in the hangar at Fleming Field or rent it out for events because the hangar lacks fire sprinklers, which could cost as much as $80,000.
The Minnesota Wing of the Commemorative Air Force has leased the hangar from the city since 1971.

Federal Government Lifts Cargo Insurance Requirement for Truckers
March 26th, 2011
The federal government is no longer requiring that about 76,000 of the nation’s for-hire truckers carry cargo liability insurance.
Over the objections of shippers and transportation brokers, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration issued a rule effective March 21 that lifts the requirement for these for-hire motor common carriers that represent about 30 percent of the nation’s truckers.
Household goods motor carriers and household goods freight forwarders will continue to be subject to the FMCSA’s cargo insurance requirement.
The agency said it does not believe it is necessary for it to mandate cargo insurance that benefits commercial shippers. “Comm
