Frederica Freyberg:
A low turnout spring primary advances two finalists vying to be the state’s top educator and Evers’ budget release begins the months long process of appropriations and priorities.
I’m Frederica Freyberg. Tonight on “Here & Now,” the governor released a massive executive budget. What will stand and what will fall? The spring primary election is out of the way. State superintendent and Supreme Court races pick up speed and new maps and a new session underway brings new blood and energy to both chambers. It’s “Here & Now” for February 21.
