AUDIO: WisPolitics Hosts Chris Abele

Listen to the full WisPolitics event, where the Milwaukee County Executive discussed the Bucks arena deal, transportation, MPS changes, and more.

AbeleOn Thursday afternoon at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee’s Hefter Conference Center, WisPolitics hosted Milwaukee County Executive Chris Abele. At the luncheon discussion, Abele was questioned on the Bucks arena deal, state and regional transportation issues, and the planned changes relating to Milwaukee Public Schools.

At times, the questioning — particularly from passionate “Stop MPS Takeover” protesters — got heated, but the length of the event allowed for a more in depth discussion of the many issues in which the County Exec is currently involved.

You can listen to full audio of the 50-minute event here, and his post-luncheon discussion with reporters here.
