Two Reasons Why Trump’s Auto Tariffs Might Not Work

By | LOCAL VIDEO, COMMUNITY, UpNorthNews Staff

TARIFF TROUBLES – A Hudson native with a long career of risk management for major financial institutions can explain two reasons why President Trump’s massive new tariffs on autos and auto parts may not work as intended.

First, in the short term, the disruption will increase Americans’ car prices by an estimated $6,000 at a minimum, while also causing job losses.

Second, in the long term, multinational companies know they can raise prices, absorb any losses, and wait for a new president who might end the trade war—because it’s still cheaper than building new factories in the US, as Trump claims will happen under his plan.

Chris Taylor Launches 2026 Campaign For WI 2026 State Supreme Court

By | Politics Video, POLITICS, UpNorthNews Staff

Wisconsin Court of Appeals Judge Chris Taylor is running for a spot on the Wisconsin Supreme Court in the 2026 election. She’s planning to take on current Justice Rebecca Bradley, who is known for her conservative views and was appointed in 2015 by former Gov. Scott Walker.

Taylor, who used to serve in the state legislature and worked with Planned Parenthood, told WISN-TV’s, Upfront, that she’s jumping into the race because she believes Wisconsin deserves a fair and impartial court. She says judges should focus on protecting people’s rights—not pushing political agendas.

This race is important because it could shift the court further in a progressive direction. Right now, the court has a 4-3 liberal majority, and with another liberal justice (Susan Crawford) about to take office, Taylor’s win would make that a 5-2 split.

Taylor has been a strong voice on issues like abortion rights, gun safety, and labor protections.
