Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Road tolling in Wisconsin? Madison mayor drops reelection bid following threats

Q: The county sales tax under Act 12, it nearly doubled. As governor, would you raise taxes?

Crowley said Milwaukee County's sales tax rose from 0.5 to 0.9 percent because the county did not receive the shared-revenue increase it sought to direct to local communities. He emphasized the value of visitor spending and said he would work with the legislature to move beyond the status quo.

Road tolling in Wisconsin? Madison mayor drops reelection bid following threats

Q: Wisconsin ended the last fiscal year with over $3 billion in surplus. What would you propose lawmakers do with that money?

Crowley proposed addressing affordability by changing the gas tax, using surplus funds to reduce property taxes and support public schools, and expanding health care access.

Oshkosh teacher deported, Governor’s race: Criminal justice

Q: DOC is in fact a huge agency. It has more than 10,000 employees. There's more than 23,000 adults locked up in state prisons, which is more than triple what that number was in 1990. There's also 60,000 more people under DOC oversight as part of probation, parole or extended supervision. Crowley has expressed support for decreasing Wisconsin's prison population through measures such as investing in mental health and vocational training. He's expressed concerns about the high financial costs of the state's prison system. Crowley said during the primary that he wants to end what's known as a crime-less revocation, that's when someone gets sent back to prison for a technical violation of their parole or extended supervision, rather than because they were charged with a new crime.

The transcript's question about candidates' concerns over the prison population is asked at 489080. Lear says Crowley supports reducing the population through mental-health and vocational investments and ending revocations for technical violations, while Tiffany supports accountability for release violations.

Oshkosh teacher deported, Governor’s race: Criminal justice

Q: So, flock cameras have been in the spotlight in Wisconsin. There's controversy on both sides of the aisle. What have the candidates said about these devices?

Sarah Lear says Tom Tiffany proposed barring municipalities from using shared state revenue to buy automated license plate reader cameras. David Crowley ordered cameras removed from Milwaukee County parks, as the county moved away from using them.

Brewers head to World Series, WPR Voter Guide

Q: How many people did you end up sending this to and how many of them responded?

WPR sent surveys to 260 candidates across seven offices. About 55 percent had responded, including every candidate running for statewide office.
