Today on Lake Effect, we explore what’s at stake in the redistricting case that’s coming before the state supreme court tomorrow. Then, we look at a podcast exploring how partisan politics is affecting communities throughout the U.S. We look at a report released last week on climate change that shows how the midwest is being affected. Plus, we hear from a mermaid in Milwaukee with a mission to conserve our freshwater ecosystems.
Guests:
- JR Ross, WisPolitics
- Scott Klug, former U.S. Representative and the host of the podcast Lost in the Middle
- Heidi Roop, professor of climate science at the University of Minnesota; Dennis Todey, director of the USDA Midwest Climate Hub
- Echo, freshwater sciences graduate student at UWM and teaches about freshwater conservation as Mermaid Echo
