Tuesday on Lake Effect: Jock Tax, UWM Grad With Dual Careers, Author Michael Perry

Tuesday on Lake Effect:

A local community group is stepping forward to express its opposition to the idea of a so-called “jock tax” to help finance a new downtown basketball arena. Later, we’ll speak with a UWM grad whose dual careers – as a nurse and a rear admiral in the Navy – were both about service. Essayist Avi Lank takes on the dollar bill; and Wisconsin writer Michael Perry departs from his memoir writing to author a novel aimed at middle-grade readers.

Guests:

  • Jennifer O’Hear, Keisha Krumm, Lloyd Johnson, Common Ground/Fair Play campaign
  • Rear Admiral (ret.) Margaret Rykowski, USN (UWM grad)
  • Avi Lank, essayist
  • Michael Perry, author, The Scavengers
