    Wisconsin "Cheeseheads"

    I'm addressing my city's council this afternoon about changing an ordinance forbidding backyard chickens. Currently the Wisconsin Assembly bill, AB42 is in committee and had a public hearing on the 19th where seven citizens spoke in favor of the bill to restrict local governments from banning...

    Wisconsin "Cheeseheads"
