NCAA Champs, State Street Study Results, and Election Day Countdown
Spring election season is almost over. We’re just days away from voting on a Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice, a constitutional amendment, every Madison City Council seat, and more. But there’s more to the news than just the election. On this week’s Friday news roundup, Madison Minutes newsletter editor Rob Thomas tells us who’s hot and who’s not in Badger athletics. Host Bianca Martin digs into the city’s State Street pedestrian mall experiment (will it continue?!). And of course, executive producer Hayley Sperling gives one more election news roundup and reminds you to vote.
