A recent audit has shown half of Universities of Wisconsin schools across the state are in financial trouble. Altogether, if these seven universities as they're currently running and funded, they would be $254.9 million in debt by fiscal year 2028. We dissect why this is happening and what can be done. Democratic Gov. Tony Evers put over $300 million in funding in the state budget. Instead, Republicans, who control the Legislature didn't increase funding at all and, in fact, withheld staff raises and $32 million for DEI.

In an another attempt to bring in a rich out-of-state candidate to run for a major political position in Wisconsin, Republicans have managed to unearth Eric Hovde. The multi-millionaire, who couldn't win a Republican primary 12 years ago in the state, is now running against Democrat Tammy Baldwin for US Senate. The California banker has managed to say something to alienate just about every voter. From the elderly and is recent comments on those in nursing homes to farmers and young people over their work ethic, Hovde has a message for you, and we break them all down.

A recap of the spring elections in La Crosse County and statewide. First, we look at the La Crosse County board races, where Republicans supported nearly twice as many Democrats, and saw nearly the same amount of members re-elected or elected. Plus, from what we know so far, the La Crosse County Republican Party also out spent Democrats 8 to 1. Statewide, we look at, essentially, the no-votes Joe Biden and Donald Trump received, plus the repercussion of the two Republican state constitutional amendments that passed.

As the spring election season wraps up Tuesday, we look at the strange, alarming ways Bill Feehan, the 3rd Congressional District Republican Party chair and La Crosse County board candidate, is involved. We discuss the attack fliers he's sending out against his opponent Kelly Leibold, as well as fake letters to the editor in the La Crosse Tribune, also attacking her. Those letters were taken off the site, proved to be fake. Plus, a bit on Feehan's consulting firm taking money from conservative candidates in the spring elections. Before that however, a quick update on Tim Alberts for La Crosse School Board. He has come out publicly against being named on the 1776 PAC flier, which was discussed on last week's podcast.

We look at how La Crosse Republicans differ from the La Crosse County Democratic Party in these local, spring elections for school and county board. In Part 2, we talk La Crosse County board, where Republicans are spending over $6,000 for candidates, and the timing of that funding stands out. Also, we break down some of the campaign fliers that are going around, and how dishonest and misleading they are.

We look at how La Crosse Republicans differ from the La Crosse County Democratic Party in these local, spring elections for school and county board. In Part 1, we talk school board, where two candidates are on the ballot and both are endorsed by the far-right wing group, the 1776 Project. Just a note, since this recording, candidate Tim Alberts has come out and said he was included on the 1776 mailer "without my knowledge or endorsement." Nothing on social media on Adam Manka, in which the 1776 Project highlights a made up statistic from Manka on drugs in La Crosse schools.
