And Mike Clemons will have all kinds of sports to talk about for the weekend, on and off the court—including marriages for Jordan Love and Aaron Rodgers, plus a Brewers pitching phenom has mixed results in his Major League debut.

Republicans on the Legislature’s Joint Finance Committee made official on Thursday what had been apparent a few days earlier: a refusal to meet Gov. Tony Evers in the middle when it comes to each side’s highest priorities. GOP lawmakers worked on a tax cut proposal but fell far short of what’s needed to end the cycle of school referendums in the state. We’ll hear from the state Senate Minority Leader.

It appears to be happening again in the Wisconsin Legislature: Republicans appear to show some willingness to compromise on an issue, only to turn around and add what’s known as a “poison pill,” some other bill or amendment that’s terrible and undoes whatever compromise Republicans were pretending to embrace. We’ll talk to Senate Democratic Leader Dianne Hesselbein about the progress of state budget negotiations.

It’s always hard to defend yourself when you can’t see your attacker. That’s certainly the case for public schools because taxpayers aren’t able to see how much of their money is being siphoned away to vouchers for well-off families to send their kids to private schools. We’ll talk about that, the state budget debate, and other end-of-the-school-year issues with Brent Bergstrom, president of Green Bay Education Association and Jeremy Traynor, president of the Eau Claire Association of Educators. We’ll catch up with Todd Allbaugh as well.

We’ll talk to a Madison area chef about why small business owners want the Legislature to stop its attempt to kill a working program that makes childcare more affordable. Also: We again torture our poor Wisconsin Rapids friend Melissa Kaye about her (cue dramatic music) Pigeon Quest!
