Over the weekend, a Wisconsin sports legend passed away. Jerry Petitgoue of Cuba City coached basketball in our state for 60 years, ending his career with an incredible record of 1,027-249. WRCO and WRCE Station Manager Phil Nee has had many chances to observe and interview Coach Petitgoue over the years. Phil joins us today to share an interview he had with the coach in 2018 and celebrate his impact on Wisconsin high school sports. 

At the bottom of the hour, State Senator Kelda Roys joins us for another update on the Joint Finance Committee’s state budget negotiations. Unfortunately, we still haven’t seen much movement. Democrats are proposing increased funding for education and childcare, but Republicans staunchly oppose these measures despite our approximately $4 million budget surplus. Rural Republican-led districts are among those suffering the most from our state’s lack of funding in these areas.
