WisconsinEye, or WisEye for short, is the state’s first and only independent state Capitol broadcast network.

But the network is running low on funds and in danger of shutting down this summer. Co-founder Jon Henkes joined our News Producer Faye Parks to explain how state lawmakers and private donors can help them stay afloat.
