A Wisconsin Congressman was there to lend his thoughts, even if it has nothing to do with the bill.

The state is a couple days away from losing its FoodShare program due to the shutdown and it looks like our federal and state leaders feel this isn't a big deal (or not their fault). Next, two GOP candidates were spotted at a GOP dinner, listening to a GOP big wig, who was pardoned by the president and felt the 2020 was a lie. Amy Barrileaux is the Communications Director for Clean Wisconsin and she joins us to talk about the rise of Data Centers and what people need to know before they come into their municipalities and just how many are in the state and across the country. We also discuss various communities who have voiced their concerns over this matter and why speaking up, matters.
