Battleground Wisconsin

We discuss Johnson Controls’ decision to desert Wisconsin and America for a tax dodge and how Hillary's and Bernie's responses are instructive in understanding the policy divisions in the Democratic Presidential Primary. We explore the reticence of elected officials to critique a large local company, even when it’s behavior is morally bankrupt. We review new data ranking Wisconsin 38th in private job creation. We also discuss a Democratic effort to make in-state college tuition free, the January 31st ACA enrollment deadline and DJ Ryan can’t stop lyin’ even in a snowstorm. We also talk about the passing of Richard “Dick” Presser. Dick was a force in the Wisconsin labor movement and a driving force in the creation of Citizen Action of Wisconsin in the 1980s.
