On this week’s episode, WisPolitics.com’s JR Ross and WisconsinEye’s Steve Walters discuss the special election results in the 42nd AD and 1st SD; the Joint Finance Committee’s budgeting of $67 million in federal transportation funding; and the removal of four Assembly candidates from the ballots this week.

Constructive ideas to bolster our enrollment and enhance our revenue, coupled with smart reductions in spending, will point us forward.
