Madison's transparency problem

This week, the 365 Amplified crew breaks down a suddenly crowded Madison mayoral race — Syed Abbas, Brian Benford, and Kaleem Caire all jumping in against incumbent Satya Rhodes-Conway. They dig into this week's contentious council Q&A on the Baldwin Street encampment clearing, the mayor's much-criticized answer for why she never visited the site, and lingering transparency fights with MPD and the Dane County Sheriff's Office over the Cortez shooting and a Sun Prairie traffic stop. Plus: an update on Luis Macias's return to K-12 education. Then, Common Council Vice President Carmella Glenn joins to give her unfiltered take on Monday's Q&A, the stalled 2020 ad hoc committee recommendations, and why she thinks city leadership still isn't giving Madisonians straight answers.
