Maggie Daun explores the intersection of politics and policy in Wisconsin, featuring Dan Schafer's interview with Senator Raphael Warnock, who made a powerful impression at Wisconsin Democratic state convention. They dive into the heated state budget debate, where Republicans are proposing an $87 million cut to the UW System—despite a $4 billion surplus—raising alarms over potential campus closures and urging public pushback. Later, Jeramy Jannene joins for "Milwaukee As A Microcosm." He spotlights Milwaukee’s innovative use of mass timber in construction, a sustainable approach that could transform the city’s skyline and boost economic development. And in another edition of "Ask Maggie," Maggie discusses her idea of a favorite summer road trip reflections and encourages us to enjoy Wisconsin’s great outdoors.
