Assembly Speaker Robin Vos spoke Tuesday about a Wisconsin legislative response to the coronavirus pandemic. We talk with WPR’s state capital bureau chief about what he said, and then discuss the latest state case numbers and efforts to stop the spread with a Wisconsin public health expert. Then we look at the rising costs of repairing automobile damage from collisions with deer, which spike in November. And a pair of pro cyclists with family ties to Oneida Nation in Wisconsin talk about some of their recent achievements, and obstacles from the pandemic.
