NNS Weekly Wrap-Up

Happy Sunday from the NNS team.
Last week was busy in Milwaukee! From Meredith’s persistent reporting on the continued dysfunction of the Social Development Commission to Princess’ nuanced story on how policy barriers hinder tenants’ efforts to address substandard living conditions, our journalists continue to give you the newsroom you deserve.
And although we tackled some hard issues, we still made time for joy. Check out Chesnie’s article about two teen friends who started their own affordable pet care business. If that doesn’t make you smile, find me and I will give you a hug.
Proceed until apprehended this week.
