Redistrict Reality

We discuss the news that plaintiffs in Wisconsin’s redistricting lawsuit have asked judges to update their case with results from the 2016 state Assembly races. The plaintiffs say the 2016 election results suggests that the current plan’s efficiency gap continues to be large and pro-Republican. We focus our election attention forward toward next Spring’s State Superintendent election featuring incumbent Tony Evers and John Humphries, who has the support of private school voucher supporters. This week Evers wisely announced his 2017-18 budget that helps rural districts and declining enrollment districts keep quality teachers. Jorna educates us on the potential Trump cabinet appointments and has the latest Paul Ryan news. Robert discusses the impending attack on access to affordable healthcare in 2017 and what we can start doing now. We also celebrate the success of our RadioActive campaign and the doubling of our Organizing Cooperative.
