Governor Tony Evers is making another request to President Trump.
This time for federal disaster aid after July storms in the Fox Valley.

The Wisconsin State Fair is reporting an increase in attendance.
More than 925,000 visitors were counted during this year's 11-day event in West Alice, an increase compared to last year's edition.
However, the number is well short of the record of more than 1.1 million fairgoers in 2024.

Next year's event is scheduled to take place from August 5th to August 15th.

The latest update from the Wisconsin Department of Health Services says the number now stands at 61, including 17 probable cases of the illness.

DHS officials say residents need to be aware of measles if they haven't already been notified of being directly exposed.
Wisconsin anglers may need to change which fish they take home and eat under new state health guidance.
The DNR and Department of Health Services have released an updated Choose Wisely booklet with fish consumption advice for waters across the state.
Some areas, including parts of the Yajara River chain and the Wisconsin and La Crosse rivers, now have stricter warnings and do not eat advice for certain species.
Officials say fish remain a healthy food, but contaminants such as mercury, PCBs, and PFOs can build up over time.
Green Bay City officials are warning residents about a phishing scam targeting people after submitting certain permits or applications.
