Dan opens up a busy broadcast week on "The Dan O'Donnell Show" by highlighting the temporary closure of Silk Exotic, a strip club in downtown Milwaukee, because there is just too much violence and chaos in David Crowley's Milwaukee County. Crowley, meanwhile, is also under fire for making taxpayers fund free iPads for jail inmates after yet another one inmate used his tablet to intimidate witnesses. Plus, a new policy on Flock cameras, a new battle in the war over data centers, and a liberal county literally not protecting trans lives.
