James L. Santelle
Civic Media Spotlight for the Weekend of March 8th & 9th (Hour 2)
We cover a lot of politics on Civic Media, but we all need a break from the daily grind and some folks find that in a book club. Author Laura Bird is back on UpNorthNews Radio and instead of recommending books, she’s telling us all about how to find a good book club or how to create one that’s just right for you and your friends.
The, Maino & the Mayor is joined by Will Kocken from H.O.O.A.H, WI, to discuss what you can do this week: Invest in Veterans Week. He suggests reaching out one-on-one to have a conversation and donating to local veterans service organizations. Will also says that Northeast Wisconsin is very supportive of veterans and veteran service organizations.
After that on Matenaer On Air, Jane, Greg and Calvin are joined by host of Amicus: A Law Review, Jim Santelle for the start of a weekly segment where we will take a deep dive into the news coming out of the courts around the country, and possibly the world. This week we're talking about the decision from SCOTUS on whether or not President Trump can withhold payments from foreign aid groups and how one ally voted against the president. Jim also draws comparison between Trump and leaders of bygone days when they declare "I am the law".
The hour closes out with The John and Gordy Show welcoming back Mike McCabe to talk about claiming white as the symbolic color of those unhappy with either party.

Civic Media Spotlight for February 22nd & 23rd (Hour 1)
The hour kicks off when the Earl Ingram Show is joined by Professor Bob Harvey for a history lesson, educating the show on the slave trade, religious freedoms and touches the hearts of callers and texters.
Then, Northeastern Wisconsin based Rock/ Rap musician Matt Harper joins Nite Lite with Pete Schwaba. Pete and Matt talk about the Kendrick Lamar Super Bowl Half Time Show, the Rock/ Rap Combo, and Matt performs songs in-studio.
After that, there was a little bit of Black History Month history made in Wisconsin this week. For seven years, Republicans have obstructed a clean Black History Month resolution from the Legislative Black Caucus. This year, it passed the Assembly on a unanimous voice vote. UpNorthNews asks the caucus chair and vice chair, Sen. Dora Drake and Rep. Sequanna Taylor, about the small victory, the ongoing fights to take real action on areas where communities of color still face broad disparities, and how the next state budget can help or hurt their cause.
Finally, the Dom Salvia Show likes to end each day with something good. Dom, Jess, and any guests must each share something either happy or simply good that we've experienced recently. Thursday, with Jim Santelle, we got a lot of good. From happy news on our text line to good acts we can do and the power of art, this is a great short segment!

It’s Work… But It Works (2nd Hour)
Pat begins the second hour with a weekend weather report from Civic Media meteorologist Brittney Merlot, covering the wild swings our state is facing this week. Then, Pat touches on what it would mean for a challenge to Act 10 before this Wisconsin Supreme Court, with two current Justices having ties to the case in different ways.
Our week-in-review panel looks at the whirlwind that accompanied the uncertainty of whether the new administration could actually get away with cutting a massive amount of government services for Americans. The bottom line: Dealing with this president is going to require work—work to fact-check, work to challenge, work to maintain a stable government… but as we learned, it works.

The Kathleen Cummings Redemption Tour Begins
Last May, former Waukesha Alder and Waukesha County Supervisor Kathleen Cummings was acquitted on 7 criminal charges of election fraud, ending a 30-month ordeal that cost her over $85,000 in legal fees, separation from her family, and significant damage to her reputation. In her first media appearance since her vindication, Kathleen shares her story about her triumph over a grave injustice. Contributing to the interview was retired U.S. Attorney James Santelle (host of Amicus: A Law Review), who believes this matter should never have gone to trial.
