On this episode of “Tying It Together with Tim Boyum,” Tim talks with Sen. Phil Berger. He is considered one of the most powerful politicians in the state. He talks about how working through college on an assembly line, painting, and working at a grocery store shaped his political future. We also find out just how close he was to running for U.S. Senate in 2014. As the debate rages on over Medicaid expansion, Sen. Berger tells us why he thinks it’s a bad idea for the state, and his reasons go beyond well money.
