You’ll find the link to the podcast of Friday’s WWIB FrontPage radio show here.
Mark Halvorsen and I talked to WI State Sen. Glenn Grothman (R-West Bend) about the Joint Finance Committee’s final budget, featuring: driver’s licenses and in-state college tuition for illegal immigrants, mandatory minumums on auto insurance, 75 cent increase in cigarette tax, 75 cent/month cell phone tax, releasing felons from prisons, more money for education, and “domestic partnership” benefits for state workers (same or opposite sex).
(Three Democrats were invited to discuss the budget, but were unable or unwilling to talk)
We also discussed proposed state legislation limiting interest charged by payday loan stores.
