Week 8: Lawmaker and Journalist - Mar 04,2013

On this podcast, Yuri checks in with two friends of the show: Wisconsin State Assembly Representative Andy Jorgensen (D), representing 43rd Assembly District, and journalist Rebecca Kemble, who writes for the Progressive Magazine. Representative Jorgensen talks about his recent legislation, designed to help promote Wisconsin manufacturing nationwide, which passed Wisconsin Assembly with wide bi-partisan support. Andy also talks about the proposed state budget, and what he will be working on next. Rebecca Kemble writes for the Progressive Magazine and she checks in to tell us who gets the big giveaways in the latest proposed State budget, as well as her frustration with the lack of indictments in the John Doe investigation and the inability of main stream media to cover important stories.
