We feature two members of the Wisconsin 14 who fled to Illinois to deny a quorum for Governor Scott Walker’s budget repair bill: State Senator Julie Lassa, Democrat from Stevens Point, and State Senator Bob Jauch, Democrat from Superior. Host Glen Moberg will question Lassa and Jauch about their reasons for fleeing the state; the criticism and praise they received for their action; the recall efforts being launched against their Republican colleagues; the court challenges that have been filed against the Governor’s bill; and the changing status of the labor movement in Wisconsin and America.
