What’s In a Name?
Gray Gunderson is back! Gray can be heard on WCQM in Park Falls, but on Wednesdays he joins Maggie to talk about what's going on in "Your Neck of the Woods." As we learned, in a Birkebeiner recap, the purple and gold bibs mean you're a Birkie OG. Maggie and Gray also discuss how summer activities at the beautiful Lake Superior Apostle Islands is being threatened by federal workforce cuts. How do you feel about overflowing toilets? Plus, Brian Lemek, Executive Director of Defend the Vote, joins Maggie to discuss how the SAVE Act could keep millions of people from voting because of a name change. Happen to know any married women? The requirements are so burdensome that a driver's license won't be enough. It would require a passport or a birth certificate, and 69 million women who have changed their name due to marriage don't have birth certificates to match their names.
