Wisconsin state Assembly Rep. Steve Doyle in studio discussing the Joe Biden departure, how governments are dealing with homelessness, the constitutional amendments on the August ballot and the Legislature's inability to talk across the isle.

We began with Republicans trying to change the state constitution, to pull decision-making power from the governor in times of emergencies. A thing the GOP didn't have a problem with when Scott Walker was governor, but he didn't go through a pandemic. So, floated Doyle the idea of defining those emergencies, which could be done in the Legislature -- and not by wordy, confusing constitutional amendments. That, however led to a conversation (10:00) about how the Legislature doesn't communicate across the aisle, let alone work together. 

After that (19:20), we discussed the homeless issue in La Crosse and across the state, as Doyle is also on the La Crosse County Board.

After that, (25:00) we finished off the show diving into Biden dropping out of the presidential race and some of the talking points surrounding that, like Republicans saying he then isn't fit to be president now or that Democrats are subverting democracy by selecting his replacement, after the primary.

Doyle is a Democrat in the 94th District. Republican Ryan Huebsch is running against him.
