Gov. Scott Walker and his Democratic challenger Tony Evers, traded barbs in their first debate Friday night over taxes, health care and education. But, the candidates also found themselves addressing some bombshells that dropped earlier in the week.

Walker accused Evers of plagiarizing parts of his budget proposals as head of the Department of Public Instruction. At the same time, Walker faced heavy criticism from some former cabinet secretaries, who signed an open letter saying the Walker administration "lacked integrity" during the time they served.

In this week's "Capitol Notes" conversation, WUWM's Marti Mikkelson asked JR Ross of WisPolitics.com, whether he thinks voters will be satisfied with the candidates' responses.
