Lots of stories were covered this week and to kick us off, we have The Maggie Dawn Show talking about Elon Musk's shady procedure to gain influence in Wisconsin's election. Maggie is joined by Jeff Mandell and Scott Thompson from Law Forward to discuss the importance of elections and how they have turned into "auctions".

Next, we focus our attention to Mornings with Pat Krietlow. Pat talks about how the UW System is one of the least-supported in the country when it comes to public funding. He talks about how GOP lawmakers are talking about further cuts to UW funding. Their perpetual whining about “political correctness” has them demanding changes in how ideas are discussed. Also, in The Todd Allbaugh Show, Todd and producer Aaron hear that the Joint Finance Committee was planning to announce an $87 million budget cut to the UW System, similar to what Pat was describing.

We end this hour of the Civic Media Spotlight with Pete Schwaba. We hear from guest, David Paterson, writer and producer of 'Bridge to Terabithia'. Paterson shares tales from his multi-faceted career as a stuntman, playwright, and fire department volunteer!
