## Resource

Dale Kooyenga joins for the MKE Economy Briefing to break down the growing controversy surrounding Sara Rodriguez’s campaign finance filings and what the situation could mean for Wisconsin’s governor’s race. The conversation also turns to the future of Highway 794, including a new Journal Sentinel reader poll showing strong support for keeping the freeway in place rather than replacing it with surface streets. Plus, some good economic news for Milwaukee as Lakefront Brewery earns national recognition as one of America’s top breweries.
