On bullies

715-359-1500 www.helprent.com

Dear Reader,

The world has spawned a lot of good people, and yet mixed within are some bullies too. Bullies disrupt and cause needless worries and strife. Sometimes their cowardly and insensitive actions cost the lives of innocent, loving, and productive people.

Vladimir Putin is the epitome of a bully. He ruthlessly took power in Russia after being an agent of the notorious and feared KGB. He hides behind walls and weapons to wreak havoc and destruction in his country and other free countries around him. He stamped out dissent from the Russian media, educators, intellectuals, artists, and poets. His agents attempted to assassinate Alexei Navalny, a Russian opposition leader who exposed Putin’s theft of billions of government funds to build a palace of treasures for himself.

Hopefully we will find a way to restrain Putin from further carnage. But if not, I’m sure Satan has a fiery prison cell waiting for him after he surrenders his worthless life on earth.

PFAS response

entities as well as the private sector. City hall had a record number of resignations last year and the communications center has had trouble keeping employees.

LaDu told City Pages hiring at the jail has similar difficulties to the communications center and others. Retirements combined with difficulty competing with the private sector make hiring a challenge.

That comes as the jail’s population has remained in check, after years of bursting at the seams. On the day the jail inspector visited on Aug. 25, the jail’s population was 266 and of that number, 214 were being held in Marathon County.

The jail’s maximum capacity is rated at 279.

Filters and bottled water are now coming - one month into the PFAS crisis Wausau residents could soon be seeing more bottled water and even in-home solutions like filtered pitchers or other filtered devices.

The city council, following a joint meeting of the city’s Finance Committee and Water Commission, approved spending up to $150,000 on bottled water and in-home filtration devices for residents. The move is meant to be an interim solution to providing drinking water with less PFAS than new state Department of Health Services standards of less than 20 parts per trillion.

The city announced last month that levels of PFAS higher than those standards are found in all of the city’s wells. PFAS are called ‘forever chemicals’ because they don’t break down in the environment and can cause cancer. Environmental Protection Agency has long had an advisory of 70 parts per trillion but recently the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources and the DHS have been recommending 20 ppt based on new research. Wausau’s wells tested between 23-48 ppt, and measures at 30 ppt as it comes out the treatment plant.

Finance originally approved spending $13,200 on bottled water but members of a joint Finance and Wausau Water Works Commission suggested more should be spent to provide residents with PFAS filtered water. Rather than a committee trying to decide which filters would be best - costs vary per manufacturer, as do quantities available and time to ship — it made more sense to have staff determine the best options.

An annual jail report showed the jail’s population is still under its maximum allotment, but more staff are needed to man the facility.

And that number has grown.

According to the items listed in the Department of Corrections annual jail inspection, the Marathon County Jail should be hiring three more corrections officers. Jail Administrator Sandra LaDu says that number has now increased to eight.

The lack of workers at the Marathon County Jail comes on the backdrop of worker shortages across all government

Jail report: Population under budget, more staff needed

Projects in the city of Wausau will get $3.25 million from the state Department of Administration. Those include an affordable housing project and a non-profit campus that’s in the works.

Gov. Tony Evers announced Thursday the awards to Wisconsin communities of $212 million through its Neighborhood Investment Fund program. The program is designed to help communities recover by funding long-term community projects and economic recovery projects.

Wausau’s Community Partners Campus, being built on Grand Avenue, will receive $1.5 million, according to Mayor Katie Rosenberg. And an affordable housing project approved for the former Westside Battery site and being built

by Gorman and Co. on the city’s near west side will get $1.75 million.

The Community Partners Campus will be a non-profit center that houses many of the area’s non-profit organizations, helping them share costs while also providing a one-stop shop for those needing services. That reduces transportation costs and time for those residents and makes it easier for them to connect with needed services.

The $150,000 will come from American Rescue Plan Act funds.

The council also approved the pilot study that will determine the best filtration media to use at the new water treatment plant, due to go online in late summer. Work has already begun on putting together the study so engineers could hit the ground running once the study was approved.

The project at the former Westside Battery was proposed last year by Gorman and Co., which is also working on The Landmark renovation. Gorman plans to build a four-story, 50-unit apartment complex focused on affordable housing.

The city council voted to terminate the agreement with T. Wall Tuesday following a closed session meeting.

More work is expected to start this year on the Sylvan Hill mountain biking trails.

The city’s parks committee Monday approved improvements to the area that include an extended skills area and a dirt jump skills area. Central Wisconsin Off-Road Cycling Coalition President Aaron Ruff says it would be similar to the skills area at Ringle now, where there are a series of short loops that get progressively harder. They’re designed for riders to test their skills on a variety of terrain.

The improvements are phase II of CWOCC’s plan for the park. The work is expected to cost $16,750 and will be paid for by money raised by the bike club.

Riverlife project on the skids after committee denies extension

A project approved for the Riverlife development area last year is on the skids after city leaders refused to act on an extension for the project.

T. Wall Enterprises requested an extension of its condo/ commercial building project in the Riverlife Development area. It would have been the third building project approved for the area north of downtown along the Wisconsin River, following the two projects by developers Mitch Viegut, Fernando Riveron and Bob Ohde.

The project was approved in April 2021, and work should have begun on the project by now. But delays with negotiating the development agreement and getting firms on-site to test the soil have set the project back. Negotiation on the development agreement hasn’t even begun.

Members of the city’s Economic Development Committee last week fumed at the lack of progress on the project.

“Wausau’s projects need to be as important as any other community’s in a developer’s mix,” committee member Lisa Rasmussen said. “This has gone on long enough.”

The project already brought controversy after city leaders learned that Wausau Opportunity Zone was attempting to poach T Wall for one of the downtown mall redevelopment projects before finishing the Riverlife project. Owner Terrance Wall later said they’d work on both projects but would likely finish the mall redevelopment first because that’s how the timing would work out.

Wall in an email to City Pages said the company never really got a fair shake at the project. The city never gave full site access and made obtaining that access exceedingly difficult compared to other communities the company worked in. He called it a situation of too many cooks in the kitchen.

More trails, improvements planned for Sylvan Hill mountain biking

Ryan

Rosenberg

Council member accuses mayor of electioneering

A city council member who is the subject of an ethics complaint has publicly accused the mayor of colluding against her in the election.

City Council Member Deb Ryan in a press release Monday night says Mayor Katie Rosenberg actively sought an opponent to run against her. In the release, Ryan says the mayor convinced her friend, Alyson Leahy, to spur her husband to run against her in District 11.

Ryan will face challenger Chad Henke on the April ballot.

Ryan also said she didn’t think the Ethics Board’s investigation should continue until records requests made for former board member Mary Thao’s emails are fulfilled. City Pages also requested those records.

In an interview with City Pages Tuesday, Rosenberg responded that “I’m not involved in the city council races, I didn’t recruit candidates. I’m not interested in starting a war with the city council.”

Rosenberg told City Pages the allegations just aren’t true.

“I think this is political bullpucky. That’s all it is.”

SAFER weighing 10 candidates to replace resigned chief

The South Area Fire and Emergency Response District (SAFER) Commission met in closed session Tuesday and settled on 10 final candidates to replace former SAFER chief Matt Savage after his recent exit from the role for undisclosed reasons.

Names were not revealed at the meeting but discussion between commission members mentioned two candidates to replace SAFER interim chief Josh Finke are internal. They are expected to begin interviews as of this story being filed and whoever takes over will be steering an organization that has been steeped in crises and concerning allegations.

City Pages reported in 2021 the Weston Village Board voted to terminate its contract with SAFER for fire and ambulance services this year. Weston later voted to stay in SAFER. At the time board member Nate Fiene said there was a lack of confidence in SAFER leaders and he had heard from firefighters and EMTs within the group about a culture of fear and accusations of rampant sexual misconduct.

“Up until recently there has been a crisis of confidence in the rank and file,” he said. (Evan J. Pretzer for City Pages)

Stay awhile

GOP asks for stay on WI Supreme Court redistricting ruling GOP state lawmakers on Friday asked the Wisconsin Supreme Court to stay its ruling putting Gov. Tony Evers’ maps in place for the 2022 election as they appeal the decision to the U.S. Supreme Court.

The filing argues the lines the court approved 4-3 are unconstitutional and don’t survive scrutiny under the Voting Rights Act. Evers’ plan includes seven majority Black Assembly districts, each with a Black voting age population of between 50.1 percent and 51.4 percent. Those districts largely have a lower percentage of Black voters than the current six majority Black districts. The maps GOP lawmakers drew include five majority Black Assembly districts.

The filing argues the seven districts — the maximum that could be drawn in the Milwaukee area — constitute a racial gerrymander and the court’s rationale that there are “good reasons” under the Voting Rights Act for that many Black districts doesn’t meet the standards set by the U.S. Supreme Court to justify such a move.

“A redistricting plan cannot survive strict scrutiny based on a party’s mere assertion that an additional district is possible,” the filing argues.

The filing indicates GOP lawmakers plan

to ask the U.S. Supreme Court on Monday to hear their appeal.

Barrett calls Ukraine crisis “a dangerous time”

U.S. Ambassador to Luxembourg Tom Barrett calls the unfolding Russia-Ukraine crisis a “very dangerous time.”

Barrett, the former longtime mayor of Milwaukee, is providing U.S. intelligence to Luxembourg officials as the country increases its aid to Ukraine and begins to accept Ukrainian refugees.

“Obviously we get communications on an hourly basis out of D.C. to let us know what the current thinking is, what the latest intelligence is,” Barrett said on WISN’s “UpFront,” produced in partnership with WisPolitics.com. “That’s been one of the surprises, a lot of intelligence I have access to let me know what’s going on.”

Barrett said he’s routinely in communication with the prime minister of Luxembourg and other top officials.

“Every single step of the way, our intelligence accurately predicted what Russia’s next steps would be,” Barrett said. “And I think that has given us greater credibility with our allies here.”

The transition for Barrett from the

mayor to ambassador has been quick and intense.

“What I thought would be a relatively smooth and quiet transition has been anything but that,” he said. “I think anybody has to be concerned right now because it is so irresponsible and dangerous, and I think criminal, what is going on in Ukraine.”

Elections Commission, local governments counter Gableman report Wisconsin Elections Commission Administrator Meagan Wolfe countered Michael Gableman’s report on the 2020 election and his calls to dissolve the Wisconsin Elections Commission.

“This report is based upon complete misrepresentations of Wisconsin election law, federal election law and of election administration and technology,” Wolfe said on WISN-TV’s “UpFront” program, produced in partnership with WisPolitics. com.

“These are six bipartisan members of the commission that are appointed by legislative leadership. The commission was created in 2016 and is operating exactly as

of Cash

it’s designed to operate by law.”

Wolfe reaffirmed her position and that of the Wisconsin Department of Justice, which is representing Wolfe, that she will not meet in private with Gableman unless ordered by a court to do so.

And she rebuffed calls for her to resign.

“It’s a difficult job,” Wolfe said. “It certainly is a difficult job, and it gets more difficult every day. But I’m not going to let attempts to bully me, to intimidate me lead to me not continuing to do my job, which I’ve done with integrity.”

Marquette Law School Poll: Evers up, Johnson down

Dem Gov. Tony Evers’ standing with Wisconsin voters has improved since October, President Biden’s stayed the same and GOP U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson’s has dipped, according to the latest Marquette University Law School Poll.

The poll done in late February also took a first look at the Dem primary for the U.S. Senate and GOP race for governor, finding a large section of the electorate is undecided.

Pollster Charles Franklin said name recognition drove some of the primary results.

“We’re a long ways from people having tuned in to the primary elections or the fall general election,” he said.

In the October poll, 45 percent approved of the job Evers was doing, while 46 percent disapproved.

Now, 50 percent approve of his performance, while 41 percent disapprove.

Johnson, who announced in January that he will seek a third term, was viewed favorably by 33 percent of voters and unfavorably by 45 percent. In October, his split was 36-42.

Going back to January 2020, Johnson’s favorable rating has only been lower in late summer 2020, when it was 32 percent.

“Mom leaves behind a legacy of promoting the values that make us all better citizens and better people.

Farrow Her values, her conviction, and her strength have inspired me in my life and my career as I strive to serve our community to a degree that honors her.”

Farrow began her political career as a local official before she was elected to the state Assembly in 1986. She won a seat in the state Senate three years later.

When Scott McCallum took over as Wisconsin’s chief executive in 2001 following Tommy Thompson’s departure for the Bush Administration, the lieutenant governor tapped Farrow to succeed him in that role.

McCallum lost his 2002 bid to retain the office, and Farrow would later go on to serve on the UW Board of Regents and as chair of the WisconsinEye Board.

SERVING KIDS It’s been a year since Keep Area Teens Safe

— after a slow start the house is making a difference in children’s lives The first child through the doors at the Keep Area Teens Safe house was a pretty good example of the children the house sees. The kind of trauma children like her in the Wausau area go through. And a good example of the work it takes to build trust in that child.

Kim (City Pages isn’t using her real name because KATS is very protective of the children the program admits) showed up on day one that KATS was opened. It took about two weeks for her to open up to staff. It all came down to writing.

After an outburst, Director Kathleen Buckli sat down with Kim in her office.

She talked to Kim about her outburst, and knowing that she was dealing with feelings she couldn’t quite express, Buckli told her to write it down.

Kim did just that. Buckli was blown away.

“Wow, you’re an amazing writer,” Buckli remembers exclaiming. “Sometimes kids with trauma will talk about everything, but feel like no one ever listened; that no one ever cared.”

Kim compared her emotions to nature,

and that she felt she needed to be out. Being able to go out for a walk or sit in nature helped, Buckli relayed. “I thought, this was

Kim is the first success story for KATS, a house on the city’s west side that serves as temporary housing for youth in need of temporary shelter. Kim is now 18, and has a job, an apartment, and even hopes to volunteer at KATS someday, KATS staff tell City Pages.

It’s an early success story for the organization, which opened last year and has been operating for about a year.

That didn’t come easy, and getting the place open was confounded by the pandemic.

City Pages profiled the effort to start KATS in November 2019. This reporter toured the then-empty house near John Muir Middle School. The plan had been to open the house in March of 2020.

The COVID-19 pandemic had other ideas.

Businesses were either shut down or operating in emergency mode. No one knew how long the pandemic would last or in what capacity. “We basically stopped fundraising,” says Buckli, who came on board in January 2021. Face-to-face contact is a really impormind-blowing for us to know so much was tant aspect of fundraising. And the pandemic going on here.” Art and writing were ways to made that nearly impossible, Buckli says. express herself.

In fact, word had started to get out about KATS and some people approached them about helping out. That there was a need for such a program, there was no question.

KATS opened silently March 15, and soon got its first referral — who we’ve called Kim to protect her identity — as well as its first success story. And now KATS is eyeing a second location.

By the numbers

As of our meeting in mid-February, 30 students have come through the KATS house.

The house has four boys rooms on one floor, and four upstairs. Boys and girls are kept separate (and there are rules for keeping arms length apart). They range from 12-17 years old, and they can stay for up to 20 days.

On average, they have five kids in the house, Buckli tells City Pages.

The kids who end up at KATS can be referred there from a number of sources: someone from the school district, a police officer, a social worker, etc.

The most common scenario for how children end up at KATS is there is some blowup that happens at home. The situation comes to a head, and the child runs away or otherwise is referred to KATS. KATS staff must notify the parents of the child before they can stay at KATS. While some might assume such children come from troubled homes, there is no clear pattern based on income class or other such indicators for which kids end up at KATS. One exception to that: LGBTQ+ kids, says Assistant Director Ashley Ciancio. KATS is

meant to be an inclusive space, Ciancio tells City Pages. Children in that community are disproportionately prone to mental illness and suicide, and their identity can lead to trouble at home. “We’re opening up to make sure we’re an inclusive space,” Ciancio says.

Vicki Tylka, director of Social Services, says they’ve worked with KATS extensively as it developed. Social Services and KATS serve two different populations, she says.

“Their mission is to support youth who are not yet in the formal system – youth who may be having family or individual conflicts

and at risk for runaway behavior,” Tylka tells City Pages. “The population that DSS serves is different than that population, so we do not directly refer youth to KATS.” The U.S. Department of Education says 18,394 students in Wisconsin were considered homeless at some point in the 2018-2019 school year. Homelessness is a broad term. According to USDE data, 308 were considered unsheltered, 1,971 were in shelters and 1,485 were in hotels or motels.

The majority were considered “doubled up” — meaning sharing housing with a non-relative. That might mean crashing on a friend’s couch or staying with another family.

Wausau School District Communications Director Diane White told City Pages that the district currently has 111 students reported to the district as homeless.

KATS aims to prevent children from becoming homeless in the first place. Children having trouble at home can be referred to KATS, preventing them from possibly running away or staying on friends’ couches.

The consequences

▲ KATS Assistant Director Ashley Ciancio (left) and Director Kathleen Buckli at the KATS house on the city’s west side.

The 20-day stay rule is no accident; it’s a mandate from the state for how long children can stay in the program.

Buckli says there are plenty of children who could probably benefit from staying longer. “If it was up to us we wouldn’t discharge them until they’re ready,” Buckli says. “Until they have more structure and resources in place, and we can see a certain level of growth.”

Fortunately, some of the children end up being mentors for others. They’ve seen

it where one older boy tells a younger one something along the lines of “hey, they’re trying to help you so you’d better listen,” or a group of girls who end up where one older girl acts like a mom or a big sister to younger ones. Or one child might take someone starting a new school under their wing.

The reason they want more time is because of the potential consequences. KATS was originally conceived as an all-girls facility because the main thing they’re trying to avoid is them ultimately becoming victims of human trafficking. But they learned boys can fall victim to trafficking too, so they decided to make it for both genders.

What happens is a troubled kid might run away, and then a stranger (a trafficker, unbeknownst to them) sidles up and offers to buy them a meal or give them shelter. That can start the grooming process, Buckli says.

I asked what might have happened to Kim if it weren’t for KATS. Both Buckli and Ciancio are pretty clear — she’d have been a prime target for human trafficking.

“That would be my biggest fear,” Ciancio says.

“Like I said, the youth who came to us and who left us, even though there was still work to do since you don’t heal in a few months, there is a difference in maturity, of selfcontrol” Buckli says. “I fear if she didn’t come to us. And it’s not all us either. They need to put in the effort too. If we’re working harder than they are, then they’re not ready.”

For Kim, and others in the program, hopefully they are ready. If some of the Wausau area’s troubled kids can get themselves back on a good path, that’s something to celebrate.

I thought it odd that Netflix’s marketing never floated the documentary The Tinder Swindler in front of my eyeballs. Considering the number of documentaries I watch on Netflix, it seems like it might have popped up at some point in my suggested feed.

Instead, I found it through a YouTube video talking about the film. Though a lot of it was explained, I thought it worthwhile to check out on a Saturday evening.

I wasn’t disappointed.

The Tinder Swindler is the story of a man named Simon Leviev, a member of the Israeli Leviev Diamond Family.

Leviev is not shy about detailing his lavish lifestyle of fast cars, 5-star hotels and exotic vacations on Tinder.

For those not in the know, Tinder is a dating app in which people swipe left or right on other people’s profiles.

If both people swipe right, they can begin a conversation, and eventually meet up for a date.

The film introduces us to the first of the three victims (You’ll see why later) of the documentary. All are Scandinavian or European. The first, Cecilie, is a Norwegian woman

living in England. She tells the tale of her first meeting with Simon. They meet at a very lavish hotel restaurant, and then after breaking off contact for just a bit, he tells her he’s been busy but was quite smitten with her.

He travels a ton, it turns out, but decides to make a break in his schedule just to see her. She’s flattered. That leads to international flights on private jets, parties at exclusive clubs and a lifestyle of the rich and famous. Eventually he has her picking out an apartment for them to live in, telling her $15,000 a month is a good budget to shoot for.

She even meets his “ex” and his child on one of these flights. She tells Cecile that it didn’t work out between them but he’s a really great guy and takes care of his kid.

Cecile’s suspicions subside after that.

Of course, then tragedy strikes and Leviev’s “enemies” are making trouble for him. He doesn’t have access to his accounts so just needs to borrow a little money. He sends photos of his bodyguard all roughed up as they ride in an ambulance. He’s rich so of course he can pay her back eventually, right? …right?

Of course, many viewers probably would have seen this coming. In fact, many of her friends mention their suspicions. Why would someone so rich need to borrow money from their working class girlfriend? Not only is his family one of the richest in the world, but surely he has rich friends.

But the pressure was on, and she was in love. So against the cautions of her friends, she takes out a loan. And another, and another, and credit cards. Etc. Next comes Pernilla, who is Swedish, and then Ayleen from Amsterdam. (Pernilla only became friends with Leviev, but she borrowed money to lend him nonetheless.)

What they only learned later is that Leviev wasn’t connected to the Leviev Diamond family, that wasn’t his real name, and he essentially went from one gal to the next, borrowing heavily from one after sending the devastating video to them to fund his courtship of the next one. It essentially was a ponzi scheme but instead of an investment that didn’t exist, they were funding his relationship that didn’t exist.

The women took a lot of flak online for being swindled by such a conman. Indeed, they were a bit naive. Conmen usually test their victims for that reason. But that’s no excuse for his behavior. He’s a criminal and deserves to go to prison for a long time.

I won’t tell you what happened to him or the ladies of the film, but I will say it wasn’t at all what I expected. All I will say is they don’t call him “swindler” for nothing.

If it sounds like I’ve given away the meat of the story, I really haven’t. I’d learned as much as I’ve just given you and there is plenty more to uncover here. It’s worth a Netflix evening of your time.

NEWS

By Evan J. Pretzer

Rep. Tom Tiffany votes against ending forced arbitration for sexual misconduct cases; one of just 97 Republicans to do so President Joe Biden signed a new law Thursday which will stop employers from forcing their employees to settle sexual misconduct claims behind closed doors and it passed through Congress last month without U.S. Rep. Tom Tiffany’s approval.

The initiative, dubbed the Ending Forced Arbitration of Sexual Assault and Sexual Harassment Act, was first shown in the House late last year and just passed by 335-97 before clearing the Senate by voice vote. Tiffany was part of the all-Republican opposition to the bill which included the entire Republican Wisconsin congressional delegation as well as Georgia’s Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene.

The bill prohibits workers being forced by their employers to enter into closed door arbitration settlements to settle sexual harrassment claims. Democrats say those arbitration settlements favor perpetrators and silences victims. Although arbitration is still an option under the bill, the new allows victims to take a case to court with their own lawyers.

“This doesn’t surprise me, they are not taking the problem of sexual harassment seriously or working to make redress easier for victims,” Polk County and 7th Congressional District Democratic Party Chairwoman Kim Butler said. “I’ll guess this has something to do with Republican’s interest in tort reform because they think too many people sue and they want to protect businesses from litigation.”

Confidential mediation by a third party of this kind has attracted more criticism than before in the present #MeToo era of greater scrutiny of how women and men are treated by bad actors in power. The late Roger Ailes of Fox News and disgraced film producer Harvey Weinstein used this legal tool to cover up their misdeeds and this abuse across American culture has seen a slightly united reply.

House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy and more conservative Republican House Freedom Caucus members Rep. Louie Gohmert of Texas and Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz joined their Democratic House colleagues in support of

the change. Gaetz said it was “good” legislation in a video posted on Twitter and, though it also applies retroactively and mediation may still be chosen, concerns have come up about expanded caseloads for courts and for victims if they cannot afford a lawyer.

In a YouTube video of a November 2021 House Judiciary Committee meeting where those present made adjustments to the bill before it could go for a vote, Oregon Republican Rep. Cliff Bentz said employers would just adapt. He ended up not voting for the law recently and said at the time workers would have less power.

“I want to call out the assumption underlying the bill is

While Tiffany’s vote on this law is outside of what the majority of his Republican and Democratic peers in the House opted to do, it is not the only time he has been apart from the majority or some of his peers in the House Freedom Caucus.

On Feb. 8 he voted for a bill to reform the Postal Service while Gohmert and Greene were in opposition to the measure and was also one of the 120 Republican House members who objected to counting Arizona and Pennsylvania’s electoral votes after the 2020 presidential election. Butler is thankful for the first and said it shows at least to her how Tiffany does recognize what is good for the public.

“So many depend on an efficient United States Postal Service for medicine, supplies and businesses. I commend the Congressman for actually representing the interests of a large portion of his constituents rather than putting party over people,” Butler said.

everyone would be better off by having the opportunity to go to court,” Bentz said. What I suggest is going to happen is, in the future as contracts are put together, those who are going to be on the defendant side will say ‘why should we put arbitration in giving those who might be challenging us in court a choice?’ They won’t. You won’t see arbitration. I call this out because it seems odd because assuming there will be choice is bad.”

Tiffany and his staff did not respond to multiple requests for comment by deadline. While the path to making the United States a more perfect union has many roads and directions, Butler said opposing such a thing is not the way to go and, if you want to keep people out of court, employees need more security under law now.

“Of course, if our nation had stronger protections for workers, consumers, patients, etc. People would not need to take their grievances to court,” Butler said.

For grandparents who want to leave a legacy to their grandchildren, a 529 college savings can help with educational expenses and also help grandparents with their estate planning goals. In the past, grandparent 529 plans had the potential to reduce student aid eligibility. However, changes to student aid application rules mean that soon, 529 distributions from grandparents will not count toward a student’s income.

Implementation of FAFSA changes will be delayed until the 2024–25 school year.

This should not affect plans to fund a grandchild’s education, because the funds come into play only when they are released. Therefore, grandparents can continue to put money into a 529 plan without affecting student aid eligibility.

To learn more about ways you can help the next generation with their education and help yourself with a proper estate plan, call us.

Second-hand furniture offers further options for sustainable furnishings. “The most sustainable products are those that already exist,” says Nicole Sarto of Stanford magazine. Local charity shop items tend to be quality pickings simply in need of washing or a new paint job. IKEA now has a furniture buyback program, giving store credit for second-hand IKEA furniture that they refurbish and resell.

Furniture rental is also an option for sustainably furnishings, especially if a person changes residence frequently.

Beyond furniture, the smaller details of a home or apartment can also be sustainably sourced. Water-saving showerheads, eco-friendly lighting, and energy-saving curtains and blinds are all items to consider when furnishing a space. Like any sustainable lifestyle choice, furnishing a home or apartment is about more than choosing a comfortable couch or chic end table. It’s about how the item was made, what it’s made with, and where it’s ultimately going to end up.

environment and human health.

Fortunately, there are ethical and sustainable options available when it comes to furnishing a home or apartment.

A large number of companies now offer green-friendly products that use sustainable materials and manufacturing methods. Chicago’s What WE Make specializes in furniture using reclaimed wood, custom-made-to-order. Masaya & Co. produces handmade tables, chairs, bed frames, dressers and more using sustainable materials and low-impact methods, and for every product sold, the company plants 100 trees in Nicaragua, where products are manufactured. Alabama Sawyer makes furniture from local tree waste, and Emeco makes chairs from recycled materials and uses 100 percent recyclable shipping and packing materials. Medley makes all types of home furnishings with sustainable materials like bamboo and organic latex, free of toxic chemical finishes.

Avocado Green Mattress makes ecofriendly bedding with non-toxic materials and ethically sourced labor practices. Etsy partners with sellers who specialize in items crafted with reclaimed plastic fibers,

Dear EarthTalk: I’m looking to furnish my new apartment and wondering if you could point me toward some sustainable options? —B.C., New York, NY In the U.S., sustainable living has gained momentum in recent years as more and more Americans make conscious efforts to reduce their carbon footprint.

Reusable shopping bags, greater recycling, and electric cars are major successes when it comes to greening our everyday lives.

And a lesser known but no less substantial contributor to environmental damage comes from a source of our comfort: home furnishings.

Economically speaking, Americans spend nearly $120 billion on furniture and bedding per year, and 84 percent buy furnishings new. This increased demand, leading to increased production, means that companies looking to cut costs rely on cheaper, less sustainable materials.

This results in to furniture that’s not built to last and therefore ends up on the curb. In fact, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) estimates that nearly nine million tons of furniture enter landfills every year. On top of that, the manufacturing of many of these furnishings consumes considerable amounts of natural resources, and some may contain toxic chemicals that impact both the
