You always ask such great questions, and I can’t wait to see what you’re interested in talking about right now.
Because there is so much happening right now. From the state budget battle to the GOP’s voter suppression efforts to the late stages of the coronavirus pandemic to Milwaukee’s soon-arriving $406 million in American Rescue Plan funding, and on down the list, there’s a lot for us to talk about. We’ve even got a fresh quarterback saga in Green Bay and a Milwaukee Bucks playoff run starting up. Really, no topic is off limits.

Some/most days it's extremely discouraging to be politically "in tune" living in this state. What gives you the most optimism? Can anything really get better without fairer representation at the state level? Is a ban on gerrymandering the first domino that needs to fall? And what if it fails? Thanks, Dan - appreciate your work, love of all things Milwaukee, the state as a whole, the Bucks, etc.
