“What’s debatable?” Battleground Wisconsin Podcast
Following our weekly Tick Report, we debrief the one and only Wisconsin Governor candidate debate on Wednesday night. We assess the debate, it will not go down in the analysis of history like the Lincoln-Douglas debates. We also ask if debates matter anymore in modern politics.
Lauren Reeg of Evergreen Action joins us to share their new policy comparison of both Governor candidates on clean energy. Interestingly, their research finds a surprisingly large gap in the cost of utilities for consumers under the plans offered by both candidates. Spoiler alert, Tiffany’s pivot back to dirty fossil fuels is not only climate damaging, it will cost residential energy customers thousands of dollars.
We also welcome Kat Klawes, from 350.org Wisconsin and Rohan Katti, Senior Program Manager for Data You Can Use, S to tell us about new data revealing the scale of energy burden for Milwaukee families.
We close with the latest breaking news on potential Federal intervention into Wisconsin elections. This includes Trump’s DOJ notification to states of massive election monitor presence, and two ranking Democratic members of the U.S. House and Senate Intel committee warning how false claims of foreign interference by the the Trump Regime could justify regime election interference, including ballot seizures.
Citizen Action members are developing organizing plans to confront possible scenarios the Trump regime might employ to disrupt the midterm election and we are also preparing to respond to ensure every vote is counted. We need you to get involved!
