After over 60 years of connecting commuters and visitors between Minnesota and Wisconsin, replacing the Blatnik Bridge will bolster safety and increase reliability.

The Department of Transportation must release funding for this project so it can move forward without delay.

The E.U.’s Burgeoning Repair Movement Is Set to Get a Boost Europe’s new Right to Repair Directive will make it easier — and cheaper — for consumers to get their household goods fixed, rather than buy something new. Part of the E.U.’s Green Deal, the plan is expected to slash waste, promote recycling, and cut greenhouse gas emissions. 

Some manufacturers have made it deliberately hard to repair household goods, pushing consumers to buy new products rather than fix old ones.

A new E.U. directive will require companies to provide affordable repairs, helping to slash waste and emissions.
