Senator Bernie Sanders visited the Chippewa Valley over the weekend for a campaign event with Democratic Third Congressional District candidate Rebecca Cook.

During his speech, Senator Sanders tried to put just how large the wealth inequality gap has become into perspective.
an
He also spoke about the potential impacts of artificial intelligence, highlighting the negative effect it could have on the workforce, particularly in manufacturing, and whether humanity will be capable of controlling the technology as it continues to advance so rapidly.
And if we cannot control AI, they operate independently of human control, then what happens?
And the answer is nobody knows, but there are some very frightening prospects if that happens.
So in the midst of all of that,
I hope it's very radical, ideal, that maybe humanity should remain the dominant species on planet
Earth.
Senator Sanders has endorsed Cook in the midterm election, who will look to unseating incumbent Republican Congressman Derek Van Orden next week.

Firefighters say they found a large fire spreading through the woods in an area inaccessible by traditional fire trucks.
The property is in the township of Sumter.

Authorities found and arrested the suspect shortly after arriving at the scene.
The motive behind the fire is still under investigation.
The Madison Common Council has voted to terminate interim independent police monitor Arameek Glass.
The move comes following weeks of controversy over her job performance outlined in an employment review from the city attorney's office.
That review states Glass had made no meaningful progress in searching for a permanent monitor after nearly 10 months with no approved job description, posting, or interviews.
It also cited a missed July 17 budget deadline, strained relationships with Madison police, and an open
outside investigation into complaints about Glass' own conduct.

Wildlife officials say a three-year-old buck on a deer farm in Taylor County is among the most recent detections of the disease.
That farm will remain in quarantine while government veterinary staff work to identify and control the disease outbreak.

The recall affects three varieties of two-ounce sealed bags.
Imperial Fuego Beef Jerky, Imperial Original Beef Jerky, and Imperial Limone Beef Jerky.
If you have any of these products, health officials say you shouldn't eat it, but throw it away or return it to the place where you bought it.
