Today on Spanning the State Kristin Brey and Brian Noonan talk about the upcoming spring primary and the superintendent race. Of the three candidates, Brittany Kinser never had a Wisconsin teachers license, and her administrators license lapsed. Kristin and Brian discuss whether it is appropriate for her to have this role and if anyone should have a role without experience in the field they will manage. On top of that, another candidate Jill Underly did not attend the most recent board education committee meeting Kristin and Brian share if they think that was a good decision or if it will backfire for her. Then Steve Scaffidi is live in the studio with Kristin and Brian for the Political Power HALF Hour. Today they took a pulse check now that we are three weeks into his second term and his onslaught of executive orders and the vast number of lawsuits responding to these orders. Then they talk about how various protests against Trump's administration that have popped up locally nationally and internationally and the choices our political leaders are taking to fight him.
