UW-La Crosse political science professor, Dr. Anthony Chergosky in studio to help try and break down some of headliners coming out of Madison, with the GOP trying to backpedal on impeaching a newly-elected justice. We also chatted about when your boss sends "that" email. Didn't waste a ton of time getting into Wisconsin Republicans' plans all surrounding the idea that they could lose some power by the 2024 elections. The GOP is simultaneously trying to impeach the newly-elected liberal state Supreme Court justice, create a system to redraw voting maps to subvert that impeachment and getting at least one bias opinion from a retired judge on how to move forward ridding Justice Janet Protasiewicz. In between that, we discussed the nerve-wracking email you'll get from your boss saying "we need to meet," and the etiquette in how that communication should happen. We also spoke briefly about Hunter Biden and US House member Derrick Van Orden's statements on impeaching Hunter's dad.

UW-L political scientist Chergosky on Wisconsin GOP impeachment plan and when your boss should email

Katrina Shankland is running for the US House of Representatives in Wisconsin’s 3rd District. The Democrat stopped in the WIZM studio to talk about how her 11 years of experience as a Wisconsin state Assembly Rep. is what’s needed to represent the district. We went back and forth on why she’s running, as well as what’s going on in Wisconsin government — and how some of the issues she’s dealing with in the state are also things that matter across the country. Shankland is one of four Democrats running in the primary, along with Tara Johnson, Rebecca Cooke and Eric Wilson. The winner of the primary will likely face Republican Derrick Van Orden, unless he is overtaken by a GOP challenger in a primary.

There’s an important election coming in 2024 and, no, it isn’t the one with two senior citizens on the ballot. Hannah Dull and Grant Mathu of the La Crosse Young Dems were in studio to discuss how important the spring elections are when it comes to local issues like closing schools and rent costs.

Began the show just talking generally about the group, before laying out how people shouldn’t get too sucked into the 2024 presidential election, before really paying attention to the county board, city council and school board elections coming up in the spring.

The La Crosse Young Dems is a new group that welcomes anyone from about the 18-40 age range but they really aren’t that picky. They meet at 6:30 p.m. the last Wednesdays of the month at the La Crosse County Democratic Party headquarters on State Road.

La Crosse Young Dems reinforce focusing on local issues heading into spring elections

We look at the housing situation and some key legislation going currently through city committees on short-term rentals and "ADUs" with Kahya Fox, the executive director of Habitat for Humanity of the Greater La Crosse Region. It's committee week in La Crosse and the city is looking at regulations on short-term rentals and whether to allow what's called Accessory Dwelling Units. We also couldn't come up with a better name for "ADUs," though Fox called them "Mother In-Law homes." We also discussed the crunch the city is in for housing stock, and how the city's population could drop below a key threshold which would make it ineligible for government funding. The city of La Crosse saw the biggest per capita drop in population across Wisconsin in 2023. We began the show talking about a Habitat program that allows homeowners to get help working on projects around their property, and we ended the show discussing how Habitat set a record for rebuilding and rehabbing homes, and how it's in the midst of a statewide public voting competition for a $15,000 award.
