Summary

The Whistleblower Protection Act needs to be promoted heavily in the state of Minnesota.

The term "Whistleblower Protection Act" (WPA) primarily refers to the U.S. federal law enacted in 1989, which shields federal employees who report government waste, fraud, and abuse from retaliation. Subsequent legislation, like the Whistleblower Protection Enhancement Act of 2012 (WPEA), has strengthened these protections. 

The scope of whistleblower protections in the United States extends beyond the original WPA to cover employees of federal contractors and specific industries. Several federal agencies, including the Office of Special Counsel (OSC) and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), enforce these laws.

The roofing industry is broken and we've got the fix. At higher pro, we help homeowners do the same thing a roofer would do when it hails on their own house. Own the project, delegate the tasks, and keep the compensation. But you don't have to take my word for it. You could ask Chrissy. Chrissy, how to go? It went great. You educated us on how everything worked, showed us behind the curtain, so to speak. And after our $25,000 roof was replaced, we walked away with almost $6,000 for the work we put in. And what work was that? Well, we got the permit, and we picked the color. Higher pro handled everything else. You did a great job, and I'm not even being paid to say that. If anyone's listening and has a storm damage claim, call them. Don't hire a roofer, hire a pro. That's awesome. I appreciate the kind of words, and I think you just made up our new motto. All right, Joe, you're up. So if insurance has approved your roof replacement, give these guys a call at 651-402-3400, or visit them online at Hirea Dot Pro.

It's time to belly up to the pod with Mike Fradolone and your host, Chris Revers. That's right. It's time for the Weekly Scramble podcast. My name is Chris Revers with me as always.

we've got some issues when it comes to fraud and politics and people basically ripping off the average Minnesota taxpayer.

2:28.1

And I will say this as we begin this discussion.

2:29.9

I can't tell you. And again, I pretty much avoided politics until 15, 20 years ago, meaning conversations about it, right?

I was more of a sports guy, more of a business kind of a guy.
