I’m Frederica Freyberg. Tonight on “Here & Now,” we explore the impact of inflation and affordability when coupled with the financial stress of student loans. An infectious disease doctor joins us to discuss the recent increase in cases of measles. “Inside Wisconsin Politics” looks at how data centers have become a flashpoint in the race for governor. And we get an update on the controversy over so-called Flock cameras and a perspective on their use from a former police chief. It’s “Here & Now” for Friday, August 21.
