  • How to make roads safer for all drivers

    The vast majority of traffic accidents in the United States are blamed on driver error. Our guest thinks that individual blame overlooks some greater systemic problems in traffic safety.

    End partisan redistricting, implement ranked-choice voting and revitalize local media. Those are just a few of the ways our guest says Wisconsin’s democracy can be saved. We talk about what he says is at stake and how to fix it.
