Operating in Bad Faith

Jeff Mandell from Law Forward joins Maggie to start this hour. The Wisconsin Supreme Court election is quickly approaching (less than a month away!). This election is a referendum on whether we want our government to work for all us or only for a few. For over 100 years, Wisconsin Open Meetings law has required government business to be conducted in public. As Jeff explains though, Brad Schimel doesn't believe in that kind of transparency. To read more about this conversation, check out Jeff's editorial: https://captimes.com/opinion/guest-columns/opinion-case-demonstrates-schimels-disregard-for-the-law/article_b1db02ba-f47f-11ef-8894-df6a5b6ae1b4.html.

David Crowley, the 7th County Executive of Milwaukee County, also joins Maggie to discuss how potential federal budget cuts are going to affect municipal governments. This is an alarming issue effects rural and urban people throughout the state. One in five people receive care through Medicaid. These proposed cuts would be devastating to this country's seniors and children. We all have a role to play when it comes to stopping what is happening at the federal level. If you email your Republican representatives, make sure to include state Democratic leaders so they have a record.
