Happy Hump Day! We are joined by our normal Wednesday guests, Pat Kreitlow of UpNorthNews Radio and Trygve Olson of The Lincoln Project to discuss last night’s Vice Presidential debate. The debate was surprisingly cordial, but JD Vance did not defy expectations with his non-answers on difficult topics like abortion and election denialism. 

At the bottom of the hour, State Senator Kelda Roys returns to the show to update us on what she’s been up to around the state. With WI Republicans electing to gavel out of the legislative session early, Sen. Roys has had extra free time. She has been taking advantage of that time to campaign for candidates who support funding for education and childcare in our state.

While Trump & Co. try to motivate people to vote by using fear and lies, it still seems like most voters will make up their minds using the real world in front of them—politicians who want to control their bodies but have no plans to improve the lives of children, families, and the economy. We’ll talk to state Sen. Kelda Roys about the issues important to those who want to vote “for” something, not just against. And Civic Media news director Terry Bell has 3 Things You Need to Know to start the week.

Todd is fired up today! After last night’s forum on UW campus closures in Muscoda, he has renewed hope for the future of two-year campuses. This hour, we hear from David Turk, the newly elected Chair of the Richland County Board, on the impact that this debacle has on communities around Wisconsin. As we’ve heard for over a year and a half now, local authorities and community members have gone above and beyond in the search for a solution that keeps campuses alive. Time and again, UW System leadership have been minimally responsive, if at all. 

At the bottom of the hour, we are joined by State Senator Kelda Roys, co-host of last night’s event. We listen to some audio from the forum and talk about what we as citizens can do to save our schools.

As legal cases against MAGA Republicans and Donald Trump develop, more Republicans are making public statements condemning Trump. With the Wisconsin false elector scheme civil suit now settled, Andrew Hitt has joined Paul Ryan in refusing to attend the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee if Trump is the nominee. At the same time, however, Hitt is claiming that he was duped into being part of that scheme. Todd has some doubts that such an experienced attorney could be thrown for a loop so easily. 

After that discussion, we are joined by State Senator Kelda Roys for a year in review regarding women’s rights. As an attorney and legislator, Sen. Roys reminds us that reproductive freedoms are still very much in jeopardy in Wisconsin and across the nation. Contraception and abortion care are incredibly important to women’s health and freedom, and while Wisconsin is clawing its way back to normalcy, we still have a long way to go.

Gov. Tony Evers provided a reprieve to childcare providers and parents by temporarily saving the Child Care Counts program, but only the Legislature can fund it to a sustainable level. We’ll talk to our friends from Motherhood for Good as well as state Sen. Kelda Roys. Plus Civic Media News Director Terry Bell has 3 Things You Should Know to start the week.

State Senator Kelda Roys returns to us this week to update Wisconsinites on what’s going on in the legislature. She weighs in on Republican efforts to change tax laws and impeach Justice Janet Protasiewicz, offering some alternative ideas.

We’ll visit with state Sen. Kelda Roys about two recent instances of Republicans getting attention for the wrong reasons. In one case, a Republican senator up north appears to be trying to sue a small news outlet out of business. That same senator and two Assembly colleagues are also co-authors of a new bill that would gut work permits for 14- and 15-year-olds, making it harder to protect them from mistreatment and unsafe conditions. Also: We’ll talk to a WI Farmers Union member who was recently at the White House to mark the one-year anniversary of the Inflation Reduction Act.

As Wisconsin Democrats gathered for their annual convention, legislators celebrated recent success in statewide elections, expressed optimism about 2024, and groaned over the prospect of supporting a compromise bill with Republicans that provides more funding for local governments and public schools while also making the voucher school program even stronger. We’ll talk to Joint Finance Committee member Sen. Kelda Roys.

Todd and his listeners tell us their favorite haunts in the 608.  And guest State Senator Kelda Roys informs us about funding for child care.  And she may have done Howard Marklein’s work for him!

We talk to State Senator Kelda Roys about her insights on where we are on the budget process.

Then CEO of CARW and member of the Home Crew Coalition, Tracy Johnson, joins to talk about the Brewers stadium negotiations, work from home and I94 expansion
