Dan Rossmiller
Going places and getting elected! (Hour 2)
Jimmie Kaska, Sports Director for Civic Media guest hosts today. In the first hour, we covered the shocking, tragic mass gun violence in Madison at the Abundant Love Christian School.
In this hour, Jimmie talks gas, tariffs, and local elections. First, Patrick De Haan, analyst for GasBuddy, joins Jimmie to talk about gas prices. Just last month, an oil spill from Enbridge Line 6 raised concerns over rising prices for gasoline. Patrick assures us that the amount of oil that spilled is a fraction of a percent of what the line carries each day, so our biggest concern won't be prices. The spill does however bring further attention to the environmental risks and damages these lines present, which we covered last week. Then, Jimmie talks with Dan Rossmiller, Executive Director, of Wisconsin Association of School Boards (WSAB). It's not too late to run for school board! Jimmie and Dan discuss what you need to get on your local ballot and get elected!

Your School Board Needs You (Hour 2)
There’s never been a more critical time for supporters of their local public schools to either run for a seat on their local school board or help someone win election in April. We’ll talk to someone with the Wisconsin Association of School Boards who literally helped write the book on how to run for school board and the qualities that make up a good school board member.
