Announcer:

The following program is a PBS Wisconsin original production.

Frederica Freyberg:

A hasty reversal from the UW Board of Regents secures funding withheld by Republicans over DEI and Wisconsin leads the nation in lead pipes. One city plans to remove all of them in the next five years.

I’m Frederica Freyberg. Tonight on “Here & Now,” we hear from the UW Regents on the vote that split the board. And from the students that will be impacted. The next in our series hearing from legislative leaders. This week, Assembly Minority Leader Greta Neubauer. Nathan Denzin reports on Wausau’s lead pipe replacement plan and County Executive David Crowley on a new chapter for Milwaukee. It’s “Here & Now” for December 15.
