Watched an Elmbrook School District meeting... apparently Islamophobia is openly accepted at school board meetings? Some of the brightest and biggest contributors of our community are Muslim. It’s truly a shame that you let bigotry have a platform. Make a change. @ElmbrookSchools

Energy savings: LED upgrades along state highways have cut operational and maintenance costs – while also greatly cutting consumption. Compared to the old bulbs, we’ve seen an annual reduction estimated at 9,250 MWh – enough to power 1,100 homes. #EarthWeek2020
