Health care groups are opposing a proposed law that could reopen up Wisconsin bars to smoking. A group including UW-Health, the American Cancer Society and the American Heart Association say Assembly Bill 211 creates large loopholes to allow smoking in nearly any bar. The bill would allow smoking inside of "tobacco bars" and allow the use of cigars, pipe tobacco and brown cigarettes indoors. Current law defines a tobacco bar as any bar that gets 15 percent of its revenue from tobacco sales and it had to be established before the 2009 indoor smoking ban passed. The bill's language would allow any current tavern to qualify so long as they purchase a tobacco sales license. The State Assembly could take up the bill on the floor this week. A companion bill in the State Senate has not made it to committee for discussion.

internet to more than 170,000 homes and businesses across Wisconsin.
Evers says despite the Trump administration's attempt to delay the
funding; his office and the PSC have been able to keep the program on
track. Since 2019, Evers' administration has allocated more than $345
million in state and federal funds to expand high-speed internet.

Be careful with your season tickets and don't let scammers get control of them. Wisconsin Consumer Protection is reminding people to keep their tickets secure after multiple reports of tickets being copied or stolen. As many sports teams have gone to digital ticketing, it's important to follow the usual rules of password safety. Keep those passwords private and make them difficult for a computer to guess by making them longer phrases that are easy for you to remember. If your team offers it, be sure to set up multifactor authentication, like requiring a text message or phone call if you are trying to access your account. If you have actual physical tickets, be sure not to post a picture of it online before the game.
