Former President Donald J. Trump rallied voters at the Resh Center last night.
He walked in wearing a high-vis safety vest, referencing a recent comment by President Joe Biden that Trump supporters are garbage.
He then spent almost 90 minutes lamenting the economy and immigration.
They're emptying their jails, they're emptying their, their mental institutions and and state of silence into the United States of America.
And these two stupid people allow it to happen.
13,000 plus murderers, many of them committed more than one murder.
And they're walking around in our country, free and clear to kill again. And they will. They'll kill many times.
Trump said on day one, he will work to deport illegal immigrants immediately.
Many of those attending were sporting number four jerseys, as Packer legend Brett Favve made his endorsement of the presidential candidate.
I have not done an event like this before, but I decided this time. Why?
Do I even have to explain why? Because the stakes are incredibly high.
Families across Wisconsin are struggling to make ends meet.
People salaries haven't kept up with inflation. It's getting harder for younger people to buy their first home.
People are losing hope in the American dream.
Trump will make another appearance in Wisconsin Friday at the five serve forum in Milwaukee.
Vice President Kamala Harris was in Madison last night rallying her supporters with a concert and party like atmosphere to encourage young voters to participate in the election process.
The rally included performances from Gracie Abrams, Mumford and sons, Aaron Desner, Matt Berninger and Remi Wolf.
Harris will return to the Fox Valley Friday for a get out the vote rally in Appleton.
The time and location has not been released yet, but is expected to be in the afternoon.
Later Friday, she has a rally scheduled in Milwaukee.
It won't shock anyone to know Wisconsin is as purple as it gets.
Polls throughout the selection season have remained close to 50-50.
Now we're getting one last look before Tuesday. Here's Savannah, Tomay Olsen.
The latest Marquette poll has Donald Trump and Kamala Harris in a dead heat here in the badger state.
It shows Harris with 50% of the vote and Donald Trump with 49.
That's when participants must choose one of the two.
But when people were allowed to remain undecided in those surveys, it's 48% Harris and 47% Trump.
Hold director Charles Franklin talked to our Maggie Don and said a small portion of voters who are still undecided now hold a lot of power.
I think that 5% is worth noting because that's a lot bigger than the one point separating the two candidates.
And how those people make up their minds over the next six days.
Who to vote for or if to vote. That's easily enough to sway this race.
They interviewed more than 800 likely voters across Wisconsin.
It's the last Marquette poll before the election.
The Green Bay Area Public School District approved its 2025 budget this week.
The mill rate for taxpayers will depend upon whether voters approve the $183 million referendum.
Regardless, the mill rate will go down this year.
Chief financial officer Angie Robley.
This is a great opportunity for the district to be able to go out to referendum for $183 million in yet see that mill rate drop 61 cents.
It's a great opportunity for the district to do good things.
Voters will decide the referendum Tuesday.

The Badgers with a win.
Hi, I'm Mike Clemens with sports.
In college hoops, the Wisconsin men's team with a 78 to 62 win over UW River Falls last night at the Cole Center.
Guard John Tanjay led the Badgers with 15 points to assists and was asked if these preseason games are helpful.
Yeah, for sure.
I think that's something we all kind of expected going into this game, first game of the year.
Coaches need a look from everyone.
You know, we want to see what guys can do and where we can fit in as a team for down the line.
And now we got some film and we can learn with the win.
NBA, the box on the road tonight in Memphis, they play the Grizzlies, the walkie looking to snap a three game losing streak.
NFL, the Packer's short-handed at practice, as they get ready to play the Lions on Sunday.
Even players, including Jordan Love, unable to go, running back Josh Jacobs dealing with a twisted ankle,
asked if that's a lot for week 9 of the season.
Yeah, I mean, but you know, that's just a nature of this business, man.
You know, you get later in the season.
You have a lot more guys, you know, take a day or two just to get their body right to be able to come out and, you know,
play at the highest level, come game day.
So that's just this nature of this business.
That's Packer's running back, Josh Jacobs.
With sports, I'm Mike Clemens.
On your entertainment beat, I'm Peach Waba.
If you're looking to alleviate your pre-election day jitters, there are some good films opening this weekend.
The most anticipated release is the film here, and it is brought to you by the team that made for his gump,
including Tom Hanks, Robin Wright, and director Robert Semeckas.
The film basically takes place in a living room while showing the passage of time throughout the story.
Is the concept interesting? Yes.
Does it sound overly sentimental and like it will tug at your heartstrings? Yes.
Will most people probably like it, even though it is not reviewing well?
We'll see, but probably yes.
Most people don't get too excited about the re-release of a film that came out 11 months ago.
But that's not stopping the studio behind Godzilla minus one, which you can catch this weekend at AMC theaters as part of a 70th anniversary of Godzilla celebration.
Liam Neeson said recently he is moving on from the action genre.
This week, Absolution will showcase Neeson's bad assery. Let's go to the movies.
Most people who cause a nuclear meltdown while working at a nuclear power plant would likely lose their job.
Not Homer Simpson.
In last Sunday Night's episode, it was revealed that despite his gross incompetence, Homer was never fired because his father Abe was a PI.
The episode revealed that Abe's partner was taken out by Mr. Burns, who assured Abe that his son Homer would always have a job if Abe didn't snitch.
I guess I should have spoiler alerted that.
If you haven't watched The Simpsons, you've got 36 seasons to catch up on. The show airs Sunday Night's on Fox.
Bruce Springsteen is on record as refuting the Forbes info that says he is worth over a billion dollars.
The boss says he is not a billionaire and it's because he spent money on superfluous things throughout his life and does not penny pinch.
He also says he is a good boss and pays his chums in the e-street band handsomely.
Springsteen says it was never about the money, but always about making great music. He's done well on both fronts.
One of these days, maybe he'll have Taylor Swift money.
