Capitol Notes: Assembly Leaders Won't Reveal Harassment Claims, Walker Pushes Foxconn Ads

Wisconsin State Assembly chamber

Leaders in the state Assembly -- from both parties -- stated last week that they won't release records related to claims of sexual harassment within the chamber, in order to protect victims' privacy.  WUWM's Marti Mikkelson asked JR Ross of wispolitics.com how the decision might sit with constituents.

Ross also talks about the likelihood of the state Legislature approving Gov. Walker's request for $7 million to launch a massive ad campaign to attract Foxconn workers -- and we discuss whether the governor will appoint a conservative candidate for Milwaukee County Sheriff.

Marti was a reporter with WUWM from 1999 to 2021.
