We talk about why the push for four-year schools is often big for soon-to-be high school graduates and why vocational schools and community colleges are often overlooked. And, how a program created for troops and family members of the Wisconsin National aims to strengthen relationships and reduce stress. We also explore a state judge’s decision that blocks a high-end golf course from being built along Lake Michigan.
