A Lot At Stake in Looming Government Shutdown
Update: 2025-09-25
Description
WTMJ’s Steve Scaffidi and Kristin Brey kicked off the show with Wisconsin Congressman Bryan Steil, who weighed in on the looming federal government shutdown, what’s at stake, and how Congress is handling the pressure. Later, their Forward Thinking segment with Coleston Morgan from City Forward Collective focused on student testing, attendance, and improving outcomes in local schools.
In the second hour, Urban Milwaukee’s Jeramey Jannene (on his birthday!) joined to break down Milwaukee’s ongoing police union arbitration, the city budget’s impact on libraries, and the long-delayed demolition of Northridge Mall. They also covered the paused timber structure project, campaign fund misuse, Cactus Club’s new accessibility upgrades, and the Iron Horse Hotel’s next chapter.
