Wetlands Destruction Bill: Foxconn scheme goes statewide

Wetlands Destruction Bill: Foxconn scheme goes statewide

We welcome state Representative Jonathan Brostoff to discuss new GOP wetlands destruction legislation, modeled on dangerous Foxconn wetlands exemptions, which could result in a loss of an estimated 1 million acres of our wetlands. We talk about the GOP federal tax cut plan approved by the House Thursday, including Sen. Ron Johnson's opposition. Robert also highlights the tax bill's sabotage of the Affordable Care Act by removing the ACA's individual mandate. We review the latest news in the 2018 gubernatorial election, including Mahlon Mitchell's announced candidacy this week and 2 special elections in the Legislature this winter. Milwaukee and other municipalities are set to increase voting locations, how about your city? Rep. Gordon Hintz fights the rent to own industry and Robert discusses new polling demonstrating the more education Republican voters have, the less they believe in climate change and other interesting findings.
