On Wednesday, a man was fatally shot by a Madison police officer on Willy Street. Host Bianca Martin, executive producer Hayley Sperling, and newsletter editor Rob Thomas talk through what we know about the shooting, the community protests that led to Concerts on the Square being canceled in solidarity, and local officials’ calls for transparency, accountability, and community resources. We also discuss a new Marquette University Law School poll on the Democratic governor's primary, the postponed Madison Public Market grand opening, and just-announced opening dates for the Imagination Center library and Bartillon Drive men’s shelter.
