May 15, 2026: Tax relief proposal fails in Madison, Big Bend moves forward with major sports complex, Wisconsin gas prices ahead of Memorial Day weekend

On this week's episode: Neil Doyle sits in for Adam Roberts and dives into a major vote that happened in Madison. Governor Tony Evers and Republican leaders proposed a tax relief and education funding packaging using some of the state's budget surplus. But ultimately lawmakers in the state Senate rejected the proposal. WISN-TV political director Matt Smith joined Wisconsin's Morning News earlier in the week to break down what happened. We are also joined by WTMJ's Nazir Spencer who has some updates on a major sports complex that is making progress in Waukesha County. Developers and city leaders are all for the facility, but some community members are pushing back. Plus, we check in with AAA and get an outlook for what travel might look like ahead of Memorial Day.
