Watch a raccoon jump off a moving truck and roll onto Milwaukee highway A raccoon recently made a daring escape on a highway near Milwaukee. See what happened.

'Leap of faith' (reports are the racoon survived his leap from the garbage truck) www.jsonline.com/story/news/l...

A judge near Boston faced similar charges as Hannah Dugan. Her case could preview what happens in Milwaukee The federal charges filed against Judge Hannah Dugan are usually reserved for cases of companies misleading regulators, a review of records shows.

Milwaukee Judge Hannah Dugan faces federal charges for allegedly helping a man elude ICE.
Six years ago a state judge was indicted in Boston in a similar case.
What can that case tell us about what may lie ahead? w/ @evawen.bsky.social www.jsonline.com/story/news/l...

On guns, much that Gov. Evers
and GOP lawmakers don't agree on.
But they do agree on making gun safes tax-exempt.

Similar laws passed in other states -- blue, red and like Wisconsin, purple. www.jsonline.com/story/news/l...

Wisconsin lawmakers propose making gun safes tax-free to encourage people to lock firearms up A proposal to make gun safes exempt from Wisconsin sales tax is receiving bipartisan support. The intent is to encourage people to secure their guns.

Could making gun safes exempt from sales tax result in more secure storage of firearms?

Pleased to share our new investigation into accidental shootings, how they are handled in Wisconsin.
It was an honor to share stories of mother BriOnna Givens, Deputy DA Matthew Torbenson and many others.
