Guest: Jen Bailey

There was a heartbreaking fire in Milwaukee on Mother's Day which claimed five lives due to the absence of sprinkler systems in older apartment buildings. The conversation shifts to policy, questioning the state's priorities under Speaker Robin Voss, who opposes mandatory retrofits citing cost concerns, while ignoring the human cost. The episode also highlights funding threats to Head Start programs, exacerbated by cuts to child care support, revealing a stark landscape where political agendas prioritize landlords over tenants, and budget surpluses overshadow essential public safety and child welfare needs.

This hour, Maggie is joined by Casey Peeks, Senior Director of Early Childhood Policy at Center for American Progress, and Jen Bailey, Executive Director of Reach Dane Head Start. Just under 800,000 kids across the US are served by Head Start. As Maggie's guests point out, these kids are some of the most vulnerable in our communities. And thanks to Trump's dismantling of public programs, organizations can no longer operate under the assumption they will receive funding.
