Wednesday 1/14/26: adult literacy, WisconsinEye shuttering, Milwaukee Water Commons leader, Liberace memorialization

from Lake Effect · host WUWM 89.7 FM - Milwaukee's NPR

Today on Lake Effect, we learn about the need for reading comprehension services for adults in Milwaukee. Wisconsin’s version of C-SPAN shut down because of a lack of funding so we look at what that means for transparency in our state’s politics. We speak with the outgoing co-director of the Milwaukee Water Commons. Plus, we learn about Liberace's Wisconsin upbringing and the lack of recognition for the famed performer in his hometown.
