Summary
State lawmakers put together a bi-partisan spending package this week that would have sent much needed funding to Wisconsin schools as well as provided tax payers with $300 to $600 stimulus checks. But the “blockbuster” deal died in the senate. So what happened? Host Bianca Martin dives into the story with executive producer Hayley Sperling and producer Jade Iseri-Ramos. Plus, the team talks Madison home prices and the possibility of a nuclear fusion research facility taking over the Oscar Mayer plant. Plus for Neighbors, we discuss an accident at a local construction site.
