Today's Midday podcast covers Wisconsin League of Municipalities Executive Director Jerry Deschane saying the "overwhelming majority of cities have no intention of adopting a mask mandate" to limit the spread of COVID-19. 

Happy Labor Day Weekend Wisconsin! Our panel discusses the vital role labor unions play in creating democratic workplaces, real economic opportunity, and access to the middle class. We reflect on the devastation in Houston in the wake of Hurricane Harvey and the role climate change and bad public policy played in it’s creation. Wisconsin League of Conservation Voters (WLCV) organizer Matt Dannenberg educates us on the mining industry’s latest push to roll back Wisconsin’s mining moratorium which protects our water and environment. Robert previews the next health care fight this fall in the federal budget and Jorna tells us about Congressman Grothman’s demand for other federal budget cuts to pay for Hurricane Harvey relief.

We do a deep dive into the environmental trap that will be set if Scott Walker's Foxconn swindle is approved. We welcome Kerry Schumann, executive director of the Wisconsin League of Conservation Voters and Raj Shukla, executive director of The River Alliance of Wisconsin, to discuss the gutting of environmental standards for the benefit of one multinational corporation. We also look at the developing split between the Assembly and Senate on Foxconn and how this issue will impact the Democratic candidates for governor. Jorna exposes Sen. Ron Johnson’s ridiculous comments about John McCain’s vote to kill TrumpCare in the Senate and we look forward to our “BadgerCare for all” campaign to expand access to affordable healthcare in Wisconsin.

Our panel reflects on the hate crime killing targeting the LGBT community in Orlando last week and discuss how national and Wisconsin political leaders are responding to the tragedy. We look at the latest Wisconsin and national polling in important 2016 elections. The new MU Law poll confirms Gov. Walker is still very unpopular, even as his invite-only "listening sessions" convince him otherwise. We also discuss the release of the 2015-2016 legislative scorecard by the Wisconsin League of Conservation Voters ranking all state legislators on important conservation votes.

Ron Johnson, and the 50th Birthday of Medicare and Medicaid.

In 2008 and 2009 Alan and Stacy Craig moved into and renovated a turn-of-the-century Finnish settlers' cabin. In this presentation we will explore the origins of Scandinavian dove-tailed log construction, take a look at some of the remaining dove-tailed structures in the area, and explain why, amongst the others, there is a single red chair at our dinner table.Perhaps more importantly we will discuss the way the process has affected our views on place, and our own relationship to it, and how, as we peeled back the layers of particle board, wall paper, and siding, we gained a new appreciation for craft, continuity, and the power of a dream.Alan and Stacy Craig are both alumni of Northland College. Stacy is currently the Coordinator of Applied Learning at Northland College, a volunteer with the Mason Area Ambulance, and on the board of the Wisconsin League of Conservation Voters Institute. Alan is the Curator at the WI Canoe Heritage Museum in Spooner and serves as a board member for the Town of Kelly Planning Commission. With their birddog Hope, they reside in Mason.
