bizjournals.com/milwaukee/ne… via @MKEBizJournal I'm fired up after just returning from the Aug Prep North Campus ground breaking on the former site of Cardinal Stritch University.

Another great @MMAC_Chamber townhall with Rep. Shannon Zimmerman. Discussed AI public policy and general state policy matters. Rep. Zimmerman represents the Hudson, WI area but has been a huge advocate for issues that are important to SE Wisconsin.
