Show Notes
Today on Spanning the State Kristin Brey and Brian Noonan discuss last night’s debate between Wisconsin’s supreme court candidates Susan Crawford and Brad Schimel. They share their thoughts on whether we really needed a debate, if the public watched and their thoughts on what they want to know about each candidate and if this role should be appointed or voted on by the public. Then Political Reporter for Cap Times, Andrew Bahl joins Kristin and Brian to discuss his recent reporting on the county and municipality owned nursing homes being sold to private companies as Wisconsin begins to feel the start of the "Silver Tsunami". Bahl shares what the differences in care are like for privately owned nursing homes versus government owned, the regulated standards needed to run these types of facilities, as well as how this trend affected a home in Algoma in 2022. Also, a 19-dollar Japanese singular strawberry is taking the internet by storm. Kristin and Brian discuss the absurdity and the general public's reactions to it.
