The Republicans are set to strip more than 500 items from Democratic Gov. Tony Evers’ two-year, $104 billion state spending plan, a lot of which seems popular. We ask what your single most important issue is that you want to see funded.
And we end the house with some good news on the PFAs front: Engineers develop a water filtration system that permanently removes ‘forever chemicals’.

Engineers at the University of British Columbia have developed a new water treatment that removes “forever chemicals” from drinking water safely, efficiently – and for good. “Think Brita filter, but a thousand times better,” says UBC chemical and biological engineering professor Dr. Madjid Mohseni, who developed the technology. To remove PFAS from drinking water, Dr. Mohseni and his team devised a unique adsorbing material that is capable of trapping and holding all the PFAS present in the water supply.
The PFAS are then destroyed using special electrochemical and photochemical techniques, also developed at the Mohseni lab and described in part in a paper published recently in Chemosphere.
The UBC team is preparing to pilot the new technology at a number of locations in B.C. starting this month.
