Madison is earning global recognition after being named one of National Geographic's top 25 must-visit destinations for 2027.
The publication highlighted Wisconsin's capital city for its scenic lakes, vibrant parks and thriving local food and dining scene.
Tourism officials say the honor comes after years of building relationships with travel writers to showcase everything Dane County has to offer.
Business owners and community leaders are celebrating the global spotlight, calling it a huge
point of pride for the area's hospitality and culture.
The Madison Common Council has voted to terminate interim independent police monitor Arameek Glass effective immediately.
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's own conduct.
As we get closer to the November 3rd election, the Wisconsin Department of Motor Vehicles is reminding voters to make sure they have the proper photo ID before heading to the polls.
Acceptable forms of identification include a Wisconsin driver's license or state ID card.
A federally compliant real ID is not required to vote.
Other forms of identification
including certain military and student IDs may also be accepted.
For those who need an ID to vote, the DMV offers state ID cards free of charge.
And if the card isn't ready in time for election day, eligible voters can receive a temporary receipt that can be used at the polls.
And that's your state news update.

Manager Pat Murphy on what the Brewers did this week to prepare for tonight.
We played baseball.
That's how we prepared.
We went out there and played baseball every day and live at bats.

You know what I mean?
It's a long way off.
And if we want to use it as an excuse, then let people use it as excuse, but nothing simulates the game the way it is.
Brewer's owner, Mark Antonasio.
It's just sinking in on what a historic step this is now.
When I talked to Pat Murphy the other day, he said probably 10 years from now, we'll be looking back on this and thinking about it.
It's all happening so fast.
