David Liners
Of Budgets and Ballots (Hour 2)
It was a busy Tuesday in Wisconsin politics, with a primary election narrowing the field for state Superintendent of Public Instruction and Gov. Tony Evers delivering his budget address. We’ll review the governor’s proposals with two members of the powerful Joint Finance Committee, Sen. LaTonya Johnson and Rep. Deb Andraca. And then we’ll hear how three advocacy groups will be urging lawmakers to adopt much of what Evers is proposing: David Kraig from Citizen Action, David Liners from WISDOM, and Heather DuBois Bourenane from the Wisconsin Public Education Network.
