Chad Holmes is back from vacation and joins Ian Welsh. Today we talked about the double-edged sword that is the City of Wausau's agreement with the Bridge Street Mission shelter. The need for shelter for the unhoused in our community but the issue of funding a group that discriminates. Plus, Chad discusses comments of Wisconsin native and poker legend Phil Hellmuth concerning taxes. Does a rich person's life change when their taxes are lowered anywhere close to the change that happens when someone in the lower or middle class loses a social safety net program?
