Media News, I'm Terri Miller.

Wisconsin has reached a $10 million settlement with Tycho Fire Products over PFAS contamination linked to firefighting foam.

The agreement resolves part of a 2022 lawsuit

alleging Taiko released PFOS chemicals into the environment beginning in 1962.

State officials say the money will be placed in a trust fund for cleanup efforts.

Taiko also agreed to continue providing replacement wells and support long-term monitoring and remediation.

A separate lawsuit involving Taiko and other companies remain active.

A joint trial has been scheduled in Manitowoc County in connection with the death of three-year-old Elijah Vue.

Court records show Katrina Bauer and Jesse Vang faced charges, including child neglect and child abuse.

Prosecutors alleged Bauer sent Elijah to stay with Vang at his apartment as a form of discipline.

Vang reported the boy missing in February 2024 before a large-scale search was launched.

Authorities later identified human remains found near Camp Manitow as Elijah's.

The trial is set for April 14th.

The state patrol says it will be watching Wisconsin highways from the air this week.

They'll be trying to spot speeding and aggressive driving.

Flights are planned today on 43 in Ozaki County, tomorrow on 94 in Dunn County, Thursday on Highway 53 in Eau Claire County, and Friday on Highway 51 in Marathon County.

Troopers say pilots can see dangerous driving more clearly from above and will radio officers on the ground to make stops.

The goal, they say, is safety and getting drivers to slow down, not just writing tickets.
