Today on Lake Effect, we learn about the redesign of Milwaukee County's mental health services. Then, we learn about Tikkun Ha-Ir, a Milwaukee organization that’s upholding Jewish principles and supporting others. We head to Alice’s Garden Urban Farm, a unique oasis in the city that cultivates plants and community. Plus, we learn about the Wisconsin-origins of the Oscar Mayer Weiner Song.
