## Resource

On this edition of the Center Square Radio Hour, Jill Underly, Wisconsin’s State Superintendent of the Department of Public Instruction, did not attend a Wednesday morning committee meeting she was invited to about her department’s 2024 standards-setting conference in the Wisconsin Dells but representatives from her department insist it was not a public meeting. According to a group of Republican lawmakers who comprise the Illinois Freedom Caucus, an Illinois state commission has failed its mission to aid businesses owned by racial minorities, women and people with disabilities and should therefore be disbanded California lawmakers are considering legislation that would expand required training for public officials to include instruction on anti-hate speech. And while some are saying the housing market is all a buyers market now, the data shows its a bit more complicated.
