The La Crosse mayor primary: Voting, campaign finance numbers, absentee numbers with city clerk Nikki Elsen. Before that, WIZM's Brad Williams talked the 10-year anniversary of Act 10 and Scott Walker getting his car rocked by La Crosse protesters (something that's been disputed).

A competency test for elected officials. And, perhaps, an age limit. Drug tests? We discussed that with UW-La Crosse political science professor Dr. Anthony Chergosky, as well as the hypocrisy of political parties holding power and never doing anything to balance things out when they could be the better "side." Also, Chergosky explains how the impeachment of Donald Trump isn't a "trial," though we call it a trial with jurors. It is far from it.
