5p: Brewers Surge & Political Finger-Pointing

from Wisconsin's Afternoon News

This hour begins with Adam Roberts breaking down the latest developments involving Veolia and the Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage District, examining the ongoing controversy and its potential impact on the region. We also recap the Brewers’ impressive series against the Dodgers and what the matchup revealed about Milwaukee’s chances as the postseason race heats up. The conversation then turns to politics, as gubernatorial candidate Tom Tiffany weighs in on the fights and disturbances at the Wisconsin State Fair, arguing the incidents reflect broader public safety concerns and criticizing Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley’s leadership. Plus, a TMJ4 Weather Update and a replay of our conversation with former FBI operative Eric O’Neill on election fraud investigations, cyber warfare, national security threats, and the FBI’s role in combating crime.
