Wisconsin Republicans are proposing an expansion of early voting, with new requirements for municipalities statewide, but some local officials say the one-size-fits-all mandate wouldn’t make sense for Wisconsin’s smallest communities. The proposal would require every municipality in Wisconsin, regardless of its size, to offer at least 20 hours of in-person absentee voting at the clerk’s office, or an alternative site, for each election.

BlogAnother great week on the radio, because of YOU! We’re also ready put a wrap on May and bring on June. Here’s a bit of what happened on the airwaves this week. Music, so much great music!
