Thursday

Why do such counties even exist?

The neighborhood where I live has more people than that.

Politics in such counties are indistinguishable from family feuds. Whatever grudge the Good Old Boys running Walworth County have against "fourth generation farmer" Colton Berens might be anything. Solar being too woke is just one of many possibilities.

BTW, and probably besides the point, 50% of the electricity in this region comes from coal.
