Wisconsin Democratic state Assembly Rep. Jill Billings in studio discussing the "knocking doors" world of campaigning, Legislature still holding up funding for PFAS, childcare and more, plus will UW-La Crosse’s science center ever get built. Began the show talking about campaigning, is it realistic to know on all the doors and if things will get nasty between Billings and her GOP opponent, Cedric Schnitzler, for the 95th District seat in the Assembly. From there, we moved on to some of the funding for state initiatives (16:10) that have been held up by the GOP-led Joint Finance Committee on PFAS funding, hospital closure response, childcare and K-12 literacy. We then went back to Billings new district lines (21:00), plus a bit of an overview of the Democratic National Convention.  Ended the show (31:20) discussing how Republicans have now for about six years blocked funding for phase II of UW-La Crosse's Prairie Springs Science Center, which went from $87 million to build to $187 million last year. No price on what it would cost next year yet.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
