Listen to the "Mining Redistricting" Battleground Wisconsin Podcast
We discuss the latest developments in the secretive GOP redistricting process with Voces de la Frontera's Executive Director, Christine Neumann-Ortiz. We also welcome back Wisconsin League of Conservation Voters' Executive Director, Kerry Schumann, for an update on the highly unpopular Open Pit Mining Bill. In addition, the Assembly GOP rolls back anti-discrimination rights for workers and the Senate GOP passes a ridiculous Constitutional Amendment to protect private health insurance company’s right to sell you their products. (You know, because they are so good)  And more!
