UW-Milwaukee Prof. Mordecai Lee on stalled federal health care and state budget impasse.
For weeks now, big-ticket items in Washington and Wisconsin remain stuck in neutral, failing to get traction to move ahead. We talk to former state legislator and UW-Milwaukee Prof. Mordecai Lee about federal health care policy and the state budget impasse. "When someone draws a line in drying concrete," Lee says of Gov. Scott Walker's budget position, "the concept of a compromise falls apart."
