5/20/26: MKE Loves Downtown, but Hates the North Side

On this episode of Truth To Power, the conversation gets real about the future of Milwaukee and who truly benefits from the city’s development plans. The show dives deep into the controversial “Rethink 794” proposal, questioning whether tearing down Interstate 794 would improve life for everyday Milwaukee residents — especially Black communities on the city’s north side. The discussion challenges local leadership on priorities, public accountability, downtown investment, education, jobs, housing, and economic equity. Plus, a special interview with Marc Young, Chief Recruitment and Outreach Officer and Executive Director of Undergraduate Admissions at UW-Milwaukee.
