In a different format than usual, Ben Rangel talks with Sam Woods about MKE United’s anti-displacement fund, which helps longtime homeowners along Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Drive and in Walker’s Point pay their property taxes to avoid being priced out of their neighborhoods. Coretta Herring, who administers the application process, joins briefly to discuss how to apply if you’re eligible and how to support if you are not. We also touch on the decision before the Common Council about whether to take federal money to hire more police officers, and we ask listeners to give us questions to ask alderpeople in future episodes.
