    Jennifer Grant on District 1, Development, and Green Bay Priorities

    Jennifer Grant joins Jim Schmitt to talk about what residents in Green Bay's District 1 are actually asking for: smarter development, tax restraint, better infrastructure, and more responsive city government. They cover reassessment-driven tax pressure, fire and police facility needs, homelessness and mental health service gaps, affordable housing, the push for more single-family homes, and the Red Smith development debate. Grant also addresses rising partisanship on the council, the lack of communication from the mayor's office, city transparency, Green Bay's parks system, and why she has no political ambitions beyond her current seat.

    District 4 Candidates on the Future of Downtown Green Bay

    This week on Lean Local, Jim Schmitt hosts a conversation that hits especially close to home. District 4, where Jim lives, sits at the heart of downtown Green Bay—an area where local decisions directly impact small businesses, neighborhood vitality, and the city’s future. With the primary approaching, the show brings together all three candidates running in District 4: Jessica Radunzel, Jon Shelton, and Douglas Cayer. Each candidate joins the program to share their perspective and priorities for the district. To keep things fair and informative, Jim asks each candidate the same core questions: why they’re running for office, what they hope to accomplish if elected, and how they plan to communicate with constituents. It’s a chance for voters to hear directly from the people seeking to represent them. Side by side, in their own words. Guests: Jon Shelton, Jessica Radunzel, Douglas Cayer
