We’ve reached the end of the week, which means it’s time for a good old fashioned Friday news roundup! This week, City Cast Madison’s Bianca Martin, Hayley Sperling, and Rob Thomas are talking about the election. Former President Barack Obama and current VP nominee Tim Walz will be in town Oct. 22, which also happens to be the first day of in-person absentee voting in Madison. The team also digs further into what’s on the ballot, dives into the city’s budgetary questions, and get ready to say goodbye to the iconic Memorial Union Terrace chairs.
