Labor Day Life Hacks, Better School Busing, and Crowded Ballots
Episode description
It’s Friday! With the long weekend upon us, the City Cast team is here to round up the news of the week. Host Bianca Martin and interim newsletter editor Ava Wojnowski will tell you how to do Labor Day weekend right, including staying safe on the water and navigating street closures. Madison schools reopen next week, and district officials are cautiously optimistic that last year’s school bus troubles are over. And how many candidates will be on the fall presidential ballot in Wisconsin? SO many.
