Defund the police?

John Siegel joined to talk about why he's running for sheriff in La Crosse County. Among the topics discussed were, of course, Siegel’s reasoning for running, his qualifications. We also talked about Siegel’s family makeup, with three adopted African-American children and a wife who is also African-American, and how that has shaped his perspective. In terms of matters directly dealing with the sheriff’s office, we discussed the potential citizens’ policing board, school resource officers, and the big responsibilities the office deals with, including drugs and guns.

Jason Gilman, the planning group leader at ISG Inc., joined to talk about the future of Pearl Street in downtown La Crosse from the riverfront up to 4th street. No curbs, no cars, a ferris wheel? The city is in the planning phase for re-conceptualizing that section of road, ahead of future Wisconsin DOT plans.

We bring in the expert, UW-La Crosse political science professor, Anthony Chergosky, Ph. D., to break down how divided America is on whether they'd go out to eat if they couldn't use their phone. We also discussed some politics, including how Donald Trump's endorsement changes before and after the primary, and how a Joe Biden endorsement would work. We also hit on the $1.1 million, taxpayer-funded 2020 election investigation being ended by Wisconsin's top Republican, and whether or not that was simply to get — or not get — votes.
