Today on Lake Effect, we hear from refugees living in Milwaukee. They made it here before President Trump suspended the refugee program. Then, we talk about one potential solution to Milwaukee’s housing shortage: reforming the capital gains tax. Plus, in our economic check-in series, we speak with a local business owner and mother and learn how she's planning for her family’s future.
Guests:
- Kurt Paulsen, professor of urban planning at UW-Madison
- Ryan Faurie, business owner and mother in the Milwaukee area
- Mary Holleback, the citizen science manager at Riveredge Nature Center
- Nathaniel Reinartz, conservation manager at Riveredge Nature Center
