This is the latest landlord under scrutiny in Milwaukee for hundreds of run-down properties, hundreds of thousands in unpaid taxes, and tenants who say they've had enough. After reading this, catch me on the desk this morning for @SpectrumNews1WI!

@SpectrumNews1WI EXCLUSIVE: I spoke with a former friend of Walter Goodman. Goodman is accused of starving his 14-year-old daughter nearly to death for years. His former friend tells me he called CPS long before the girl was found. https://t.co/Wp9FzY1EUf

I've talked to many homeowners since the August floods, who are repairing their homes out-of-pocket, amid little to no insurance help. These public records paint a clearer picture of the complaints some of them filed with the state. https://t.co/ft9I6MQBdM

[Megan Carpenter @MegCarpenterTV]

People affected by the historic flooding in August are now navigating the insurance process, when most Wisconsinites don't have flood insurance to begin with. This is the first in a series of stories I'm working on, as homeowners continue to try to rebuild. @SpectrumNews1WI

[Rep. Angelito Tenorio @StateRepTenorio]

Since the August floods, I’ve spent a lot of time in the community listening, helping, and rebuilding together. I’m grateful to Katy for sharing her story and to Megan from Spectrum News for covering it.

For the past year, I've been investigating what happened in the months and years leading up to a double murder/suicide in Middleton last February. Despite key agencies not speaking on camera, an open records request gives some answers: @SpectrumNews1WI

I got back almost 1,000 documents from an open records request, detailing the behind-the-scenes process of a @UniversitiesWI budget deal that failed, then passed. As you'll read, it garnered intense opinions from both sides.
