Monday on Lake Effect: MPD Reforms, Charter School Funding, Light the Hoan, Ben Folds

Monday on Lake Effect:

We unpack some of the new reforms at the Milwaukee Police Department, in light of the recent stop-and-frisk settlement agreement. Then, charter schools that contract with MPS sometimes disagree about how funding is distributed. A researcher digs into the numbers behind the controversy. Essayist Linda Flashinski reflects on how little we really know each other; a new initiative to light the Hoan bridge hopes to spur civic pride and revenue growth in the City of Milwaukee; and we’ll chat with the multi-talented Ben Folds ahead of his Thursday concert in Milwaukee.

Guests:

  • Gretchen Schuldt, Wisconsin Justice Initiative
  • Anne Chapman, Wisconsin Policy Forum
  • Linda Flashinski, essayist
  • Lori Richards, Mueller Communications
  • Ben Folds, musician
