Monday on Lake Effect: MPS Finances, Zeidler Center, Wisconsin's Alpine Cheeses

Monday on Lake Effect

As this school year winds down, we look at the financial condition of Milwaukee Public Schools from the Public Policy Forum's annual review. Then we celebrate the legacy of former mayor Frank Zeidler with his daughter, Anita, and historian John Gurda. We hear poems from a new collection by local poet Stephen Anderson and learn why Wisconsin's climate is ideal for making European cheeses.

Guests:

  • Rob Henken, Public Policy Forum; Rachel Morello, WUWM education reporter
  • John Gurda, historian and author; Anita Zeidler, daughter of former mayor Frank Zeidler
  • Stephen Anderson, poet, In the Garden of Angels and Demons
  • Jeanette Hurt, author, The Cheeses of Wisconsin: A Culinary Travel Guide
