Summary

Steve Scaffidi and Kristin Brey react to the collapse of a bipartisan Wisconsin deal that would have delivered property tax relief, education funding, and no tax on tips, breaking down the political fallout and frustration from both sides. They also examine broader concerns around education as test scores continue to fall nationwide. In City Stories, Urban Milwaukee’s Jeramey Jannene joins to discuss Milwaukee’s ongoing debates over leaf collection, Water Street safety, neighborhood investment, and redevelopment projects across the city. The show also reflects on the legacy of Dr. William Finlayson and new developments in a federal election investigation.
