LaTonya Johnson
A Civic Wake-Up Call
Happy Friday! To begin this hour, Maggie and guest co-host, Jim Santelle, dive into Wisconsin’s budget standoff, exposing the GOP’s refusal to fund public schools while doubling down on incarceration spending. Senator LaTonya Johnson, ranking Democrat on the Joint Finance Committee, joins to call out the hypocrisy and advocate for investments in education and reentry programs as real solutions to prison overcrowding. Jim also breaks down recent court rulings pushing back against Trump-era overreaches—from misusing the National Guard to enforcing unconstitutional voter ID laws. Maggie and Jim unpack the true cost of partisan maneuvering—warning voters about looming tax hikes hiding behind the rhetoric of tax relief.
