UW-La Crosse political science professor, Dr. Anthony Chergosky, in studio, while retired-US Congressman calls in. On the show, we break down the US House Speaker drama. We get Kind's opinion on the matter, after he served 26 years in the US House. Also Kind recalls his experience at the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, as well as his opinion on the new, bipartisan-talking Derrick Van Orden. And we, of course, check in on Kind's plans post retirement or if the President Joe Biden White house is calling. After that, we discussed Wisconsin's state Legislature's 8-month gap in 2024, where it doesn't meet in session, as well as Assembly Speaker Robin Vos' justification to using the state's $6.6 billion budget surplus on tax cuts. Vos: "Just to be clear: [A flat tax is] not about rewarding the wealthy, even though there's absolutely nothing wrong with that." Lastly, we discuss a "Florida (wo)man" story of a House member accused of being a literal witch, and a butter factory in Wisconsin clogging the sewers.
