Frederica Freyberg:
As the federal funding package moves on to the Senate, Wisconsin’s delegation staunchly opposes the measure, but for very different reasons.
I’m Frederica Freyberg. Tonight on “Here & Now,” Wisconsin veterans say they’re battling to access their VA benefits. A state analysis shows who will lose out on federal health care and food assistance. Hospital nurses strike in Madison as the health care workforce struggles to keep pace, and a moderate Republican returns to the statehouse to find common ground. It’s “Here & Now” for May 30.

Funding for “Here & Now” is provided by the Focus Fund for Journalism and Friends of PBS Wisconsin.
