A researcher who looks at affordable housing policy helps us rate whether and how new bills from Republicans in the state Assembly would help improve Wisconsin’s challenges with providing adequate workforce housing. Then we talk with a crime reporter about the rising number of Amber Alerts, and the significance of domestic violence as a related factor. And we hear from a leader in a domestic violence awareness organization about what more can be done in terms of prevention.
