Filter our water not our voices! (Hour 1)
The Coalition for Lead-Free Water is meeting with Earl to address the ongoing lead contamination issues impacting the water supply in schools and communities where our children reside. Robert Miranda, Paul Schwartz, and Dr. Yonna Lambrinidou provide the latest updates on lead testing conducted at many educational institutions, emphasizing Governor Evers' comments on the situation. Earlier this week, the state was anticipated to release crucial documents outlining the detrimental effects of lead-contaminated drinking water on our children's health. Lead exposure presents significant risks, associated with a range of health problems, both minor and severe. Families already facing financial difficulties are struggling to maintain stable housing, and now they must also navigate the challenge of ensuring access to safe drinking and bathing water.

Kids Deserve Safe Water (Hour 1)
In this episode, Earl Ingram hosts a panel from the "Get the Lead Out Coalition," featuring Robert Miranda, Dr. Yanna Lambrini, Paul Schwartz, and Kristen Payne. They discuss the issue of lead contamination in the drinking water at Milwaukee Public Schools (MPS), specifically highlighting schools like Golda Meir and Kagel. The guests criticize the MPS lead safety program, which only conducts annual inspections, claiming it is virtually ineffective and does not align with research findings. They reveal that lead levels at the Golda Meir Campus exceed the normal threshold by 20%, and point out that a staggering 85% of MPS schools built in earlier years are experiencing similar lead problems. MPS has a 1.4 million dollar budget and has no excuse to not address and fix the problem, especially when it pertains to the children all over Wisconsin.
