Summary
Steve Scaffidi and Kristin Brey break down a rare bipartisan agreement in Wisconsin on property tax relief and education funding, and the political fallout as some Democratic candidates push back. They also discuss messaging challenges within the party and what the deal signals about governing. Later, the conversation turns to declining birth rates and the idea of being “underbabied,” with insight from Motherhood for Good’s Kate Duffy. The show also highlights the impact of domestic violence with Carmen Pitre of the Sojourner Family Peace Center and ways the community can get involved.
