On Wisconsin Public Radio's Morning Show talking about Minneapolis 2040

I had the honor of being a guest with Kate Archer Kent on WPR's Morning Show last week, talking about the Minneapolis 2040 plan with the good people of Wisconsin. It was pretty basic stuff about what the plan was, what it did and din't do, and the political and legal fallout that followed its adoption in 2019.

Here's the link (the second segment in the clip). Enjoy!
