Tuesday on Lake Effect: Jonanthan Alter on Politics in Wisconsin, Thriving Cities

Tuesday on Lake Effect:

Today on the show, political writer Jonathan Alter on same-sex marriage, President Obama's political fights, and Paul Ryan's place in national politics. Then, a new project works to get city residents to think about what it means to thrive here. It wasn’t always an easy task. Essayist Mark Siegrist wonders, “What’s up, Milwaukee?” And a museum exhibit explores the affinity between Jews and rock and roll.
