This week we discuss the surprising new video of Sen. Ellis planning illegal fundraising. We also talk about the Assembly Democrats urging Gov. Walker call a special session to focus on Wisconsin’s failed economy instead of gutting election laws and what should be on progressive’s agenda to tackle Wisconsin’s lagging economy. We also discuss the U.S. Senate passing a jobless benefits extension to long-term unemployed and Congressman Tom Petri being challenged by Sen. Glenn Grothman in the August 2014 primary.
