There’s been a decline in manufacturing over the past few months, and experts predict that trend will continue. We explore how a global slump is affecting the economy and jobs here in Wisconsin. We also get caught up on the biggest political stories from this week, recap our summer Set List music series, and we talk to a political scientist about the news that voters in Houston rejected an anti-discrimination ordinance Tuesday night.
