Listen "Candidate Filing Deadline Special"
Episode Synopsis
With the passing of the candidate filing deadline, we discuss some of the big 2016 election match ups shaping up across Wisconsin. Then the panel discusses the embarrassing open records revelations this week about Scott Walker's ill-fated effort to repeal the Wisconsin Idea, Robert talks about a new federal effort to reign in Wall Street’s corrupt payday lending schemes and new research showing the Affordable Care Act is extremely popular with those covered by the law. Jorna closes the show with a discussion of why one of Donald Trump's top supporters called Speaker Paul Ryan a “yellow bellied coward.”
