New Firearms Legislation in the Works

WTMJ host Steve Scaffidi opens the show with a lighter topic — Cracker Barrel’s walk-back of its rebrand— before diving into Wisconsin politics. Democratic State Senator Kelda Roys joins Steve to discuss her newly introduced bill that would allow people to blacklist themselves from purchasing firearms, followed by listener reactions. Later, Wisconsin Court of Appeals Judge Chris Taylor steps into the studio to talk about her bid for the State Supreme Court. She and Steve discuss her background, judicial civility, recusal, and why she wasn’t surprised by Justice Rebecca Bradley stepping aside. Steve also covers updates on Wausau’s controversial mayor, troubling drops in high school test scores, and — in his ASK US ANYTHING segment — fields questions on education, retirement, his time as Oak Creek’s mayor, and even fantasy football.
