The group advocating for lead-free clean water, which includes Robert Miranda from FLAC, Paul Schwartz, and Dr. Kristen Payne, will be updating us on the ongoing lead issues. It seems that the City of Milwaukee is having difficulty tackling this issue, with Robert Miranda claiming that the city must take full responsibility for finding a solution, even as it often deflects accountability onto property owners. Dr. Payne highlights seven violations that state law requires to be addressed, along with the obligation to keep parents informed about developments. Approximately fifty thousand children are currently impacted by lead-related problems in our schools, with many more affected in the past and potentially until the situation is resolved. Dr. Kristen Payne expresses her skepticism regarding the new superintendent, who mentioned seeking "easy wins" through listening sessions. "Our focus is on substantial change, and we won't be misled by mere listening sessions," she asserts. Robert Miranda says, Evers budget is a good place to direct folks to act no matter where in WI they live mentioning the 300 million dollar budget.
