Watch as Democratic State Senator Lena Taylor explains to constituents that she signed on as a co-sponsor of impending Republican-authored legislation to downsize the Milwaukee County Board because she thinks it’s a “happy medium.” H/T to Cognitive Dissidence.

I [...] On July 31, Democratic State Sen. Lena Taylor posted this photo to her Facebook page. As noted in the photo, that’s Sen.
