Live Project Milwaukee: MPS Budget Issues

The Milwaukee School Board meets tonight to take action on the proposed $1.3 billion MPS budget - that includes nearly 700 job cuts. We talk with Peter Blewett, the vice president of the Milwaukee School Board and director of District 6. He is the former president of the school board. He currently is a senior lecturer at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee in the Department of English, and is a published poet. He lives in Sherman Park. He spoke with us for our live Lake Effect broadcast for "Project Milwaukee: Barriers to Achievement in MPS."
