He’s coming to talk about the economy and jobs. President Obama’s speech this week at UW La Crosse will focus on economic expansion and helping the middle class; specifically about expanding overtime rules for millions more in America, according to Congressman Ron Kind. Democrat Kind says Obama would admit that although progress has been made on the economy, more work needs to be done.
