Listen "Ryan’s Fury on the Border"
Episode Synopsis
We review the spring primary victory for Tony Evers, including the split among the right-wing primary candidates, and look forward to the April 4th general election. The panel exposes another eruption of Gov. Walker’s war on science, his effort to close down the 100 year old DNR Magazine which features articles by professional scientists on conservation issues. We also discuss how Republicans who won in 2010 after Tea party disruptions of town halls are now avoiding them, including Wisconsin's Ron Johnson. Jorna exposes Paul Ryan’s shameless grandstanding along the Mexico/U.S. border as he attempted to ride a horse for the media and only demonstrated that he doesn't know his way around horses. Finally, Citizen Action organizer Rebecca Derenne tells us about the new Northeastern Wisconsin Organizing Cooperative.
