For Some Wisconsin State Workers, ‘Climate Change’ Isn’t Something You Can Talk About

[Jimbo S]

Discussing climate change is out of bounds for workers at a state agency in Wisconsin. So is any work related to climate change—even responding to e-mails about the topic.

A vote on Tuesday by Wisconsin’s Board of Commissioners of Public Lands, a three-member panel overseeing an agency that benefits schools and communities in the state, enacted the staff ban on climate change. “It’s not a part of our sole mission, which is to make money for our beneficiaries,” said State Treasurer Matt Adamczyk, a Republican who sits on the board. “That’s what I want our employees working on. That’s it. Managing our trust funds.”

3. I can't imagine what it's like to sit through a meeting with Matt Adamczyk

I think we are officially in a complete free fall into a corporate sponsored right wing fantasy world where good is bad and bad is good. And it's still a long way down.
