He said it's not IF Wisconsin will become a full legal state but when. The PROBLEM is that he does not want Wisconsin to mirror what Colorado or Washington is doing.
In Colorado the state is making out like a bandit while the people and companies that are in the industry are not making any money at all. Budtenders make minimum wage and would be better off working at McDonalds and the hundreds of small companies are going broke with zero profits.
In Washington there were hundreds of small companies that were all gobbled up by large corporations.
Of course Scott Fitzgerald is totally against ANY cannabis talk. Alcohol is the king.
Meanwhile on The Hill, William Barr sent MY cannabis stock down 3% in 10 minutes when he said he would be all for making ALL cannabis illegal but then said he would not go after companies in side "state laws".

Brexit - what the hell is it and why do we care.
If you think Americas government is in chaos it ain't nothing compared to the UK. They WISH they had our problems.
Brexit - is short for Britain Exit. In a simplified explanation. The European Union (EU) is like the United States (US) . After WWII all if the European Countries banded together to help each other after wartime. They formed the European Union that contained all the other countries.
The EU is like the US with countries instead of States. In 2016 there was a referendum and with a 71% turnout England and Wales voted to leave the EU with a 52% vote.
Just like America many voters did not take the voting seriously and many voted out of anger not believing Brexit would actually WIN (sound familiar?).
WELL! Wales and England voted to leave and now the two countries, by law, have to leave and this is a huge problem.
This is like the East Coast saying, we are forming our own country with our own laws and the rest of America needs to make their own National Government. And you have until March. READY GO!
So now we will need a passport to get to New York with all the boarder crossings and we will have to make trade deals with Ohio we have never had to do before and all sorts of tiny logistic issues.
Yesterday Theresa May's government tried to pass legislation that would keep the current trade deals in tack until everything was figured out. The EU said "that's fine we support you" BUT, the Parliament said NO very very loudly! In fact it was the biggest NO against a Prime Minister since 1920.
What happens now? Nobody knows except come March 29th all trade with all other countries will come to a screeching halt.
Theresa May got to be the PM with one purpose, Make Brexit happen. She won the vote and now people are saying WAIT! - we didn't think she would actually win and we DON'T WANT THIS.
People seem to not take voting seriously and look what happens. In America we don't have a government because of a fake emergency and in Britain they will not have any trade with other countries.

Speaking of Columbus - I LOVE that somebody wants to make downtown business shovel their sidewalks a LITTLE more quickly. Last year one business did not shovel for 2 days which I believe is more then the 24 hours that they have.
The 12 hour limit is great. I am 100% PRO a 12 hour time limit.
Then there are the banners which are being talked about. One estimate is that they will cost $8000 BUT they could go with a cheaper less durable banner. STOP JUST STOP!! Don't go cheap. Good lord that would be stupid. Unless you can replace them every couple years with new ones that look clean again and still save money.
Look how dirty our flags get over just one summer. Who will wash the banners? I suppose DPW. Durable banners will need to be cleaned if not replaced. Make sure they are cleanable with ease.

Exciting day in our house as a truck load of contractors will come by for a look at our deck augmentation/reconstruction. Everybody that will work on it will be here discussing . . .things.
We have learned so much about contractors in the last year. So many little things that can be missed in a job that we WISH we would have known at the time . . . . such as installing a toilette when the sewer pipe is slanted THE WRONG DIRECTION. Of course we could rip up the floor and jack hammer 14 feet of cement but . . . . or wishing an outlet was closer to a table or more powerful so we would not blow a fuse plugging in a light! . . it seems two 250 watt sub-woofers use a lot of juice LOL

I have a $100 bet with a former boss / Trump lover. I bet him Trump will see jail time before Obama does. He took me up on it because Obama lies as much as Trump does. The old "both parties are the same" argument.
I think not.

Weather - the weekend is coming more and more into focus with three potential snow events one being BIG on the horizon.
1-3 inches of snow starting 8ish Friday night lasting 8 hours. then cold Saturday with a high almost 20 and a high Sunday about 10. Starting Monday look for more snow of 1-3 inches and little snow events all with with a big one NEXT Thursday.
Watch Washington State starting Monday as a storm enters America, moves south like all the other storms but this one might be in our wheel house for a large event of 5-8 inches - OR - it could stay south.
In either case there is a large mass of super cooled air heading our way after THAT storm.
this is the projected map for 10 days from now. Red = bad Yellow = worse
