The following program is a PBS Wisconsin original production.

Woman:

I do not see this as a bail-out for Milwaukee by the state. I see this as giving them the tools to solve their own issues.

Frederica Freyberg:

Milwaukee takes center stage in the debate over local government funding. New federal protections for pregnant workers are set to take effect in June. And ’tis the season for ticks.

I’m Frederica Freyberg. Tonight on “Here & Now,” what people of Milwaukee think about plans in the legislature for the state’s largest city. We look at details in the landmark Pregnant Workers Fairness Act and as you head outdoors, what you need to know about ticks this season. It’s “Here & Now” for May 26.
