UW Pushes Back on Trump, Van Gogh Mystery, and Weekend Road Closures
TGIF! We made it to the end of another week, which means the City Cast Madison team is here to round up the news. This week, we welcome a special guest, Wisconsin Public Radio Producer Richelle Wilson. Richelle brings a story about a possible long lost Van Gogh painting discovered at a Minnesota garage sale and the UW professor that was tapped to help determine its legitimacy. Executive Producer Hayley Sperling tells us about the letter UW-Madison Chancellor Jennifer Mnookin signed condemning political interference in higher education. And Producer Jade Iseri-Ramos fills us in about the Mifflin Street Block Party, the Crazylegs Classic, and what streets to avoid this Saturday.
Plus, we tell you how to become a City Cast Madison Neighbor!

Judge Rules in Favor of UW International Student [Milwaukee Journal Sentinel]
