Wisconsin economy tanks; Walker blames workers

Wisconsin economy tanks; Walker blames workers

We dig into the dismal economic report showing Wisconsin's job growth last year was the worst since 2010 and that we are continuing to hemorrhaging manufacturing jobs. What does the new data say about Scott Walker's economic performance? Jorna educates us on a new GOP bill to restrict free speech at the UW System. We look at the NRA’s dangerous effort to allow people to carry open guns without permits, concealed weapons without training, and guns onto school grounds. We discuss the Joint Finance Committee’s vote to allow state park fees to increase 62%. Robert updates us on the latest U.S. Senate health care repeal and replace news and a new legislative effort by state Democrats to protect critical health care protections in the ACA. We close the show with a discussion of Trump’s dangerous decision to pull the United States out of the Paris Climate Agreements and its impact on the U.S. economy and the future of the species.
