b'We welcome Citizen Action of Wisconsin organizer Anita Johnson to review a federal judge\\u2019s ruling that major parts of the voting restrictions laws passed by the conservative legislature and signed by Governor Walker between 2011 and 2014 are unconstitutional. In the case brought by Citizen Action of Wisconsin the judge found that several of the voting restrictions constitute intentional racial discrimination against African American and Latino voters in Milwaukee. We also talk about news that Affordable Care Act insurance rates in Wisconsin could increase anywhere from 5% to 36% in 2017 and how these costs are being driven by prescription drugs and underlying price of medical services. Finally the panel weighs in on Donald Trump\\u2019s surreal week, a national push back against payday lenders, and next Tuesday\\u2019s Wisconsin primary elections.'
