Budget Calamity?
from Battleground Wisconsin · host Brian Wooldridge
We record the morning after the state budget deal was signed by Governor Evers in the wee hours of the night. We do a full budget postmortem with State Representative Francesca Hong and Heather DuBois Bourenane, Executive Director of Wisconsin Public Education Network (WPEN). How bad was the state budget for education, health care, child care, and other top priorities? Did Democrats leave power on the table that could have been used to win a better budget? What is the path forward for grassroots progressives to reverse Wisconsin's disinvestment in vital public services?
