In the next hour, we’ll recap ongoing flood recovery efforts in northern Wisconsin this week. An early morning storm yesterday complicated repairs to roads and homes. Winds of up to 75 miles an hour downed trees and caused power outages affecting thousands from the Twin Ports east to Ironwood, Michigan. We speak with Wisconsin Emergency Management's Tod Pritchard.
We’ll also hear views from law enforcement and activists on recent police killings and shootings. We’ll talk about what that feels like for officers and people of color. Superior African Heritage Community Coordinator Kym Young and Superior Police Chief Nick Alexander join us.
And, we’ll hear from candidates running for the Bayfield County District Attorney’s office. The election is August 9th. We speak with incumbent Fred Bourg and challenger Kim Lawton.
