About 25 Rock County residents turned out for a listening session with Sen. Russ Feingold, D-Wis., at the Janesville Municipal Building this morning.

Feingold offered every member of the audience a chance to ask a question, ranging from outsourcing jobs to illegal immigration to student loans for veterinarians.

He also listed what he considers his top five bipartisan issues at the moment: health care, fixing the No Child Left Behind Act, improving campaign funding, clean water and what he called "the Janesville line-item veto," a bill he created with fellow Janesville native Rep. Paul Ryan that would allow the president to identify so-called "pork" spending in bills and force Congress to vote on it separately.
