In a potentially politically charged move, Assembly Speaker Robin Vos requested that Gov. Tony Evers lower the U.S. and Wisconsin flags on state buildings across the state in honor of conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh, who died Wednesday at 70 after a battle with cancer. University of Wisconsin men's basketball coach Greg Gard and seniors Aleem Ford and D'Mitrik Trice speak to the media after the 21st-ranked Badgers fell to the 3rd-ranked Michigan Wolverines 67-59 in a Big Ten battle Sunday at the Kohl Center in Madison. "While some individuals may only see him as a popular radio host, he was a pioneer in talk radio, a best-selling author and a commentator who inspired generations to become active in politics," Vos, R-Rochester, said in his request to Evers. "No doubt, there are people who did not agree with him, but there is no question that he made a lasting impact on political discourse and conservativism in our nation."
