A growing debate over automated license plate reader cameras is playing out in communities across Wisconsin, and it's drawing packed public hearings and sharp disagreements over privacy and public safety.
At the center of the controversy is Flock Safety, a multi-billion dollar company that contracts with law enforcement agencies to install and operate networks of cameras that capture and store license plate data.
Several Wisconsin communities have decided to end their contracts with Flock, including Dane County, Verona, Manona, Fitchburg, Appleton, Oshkosh, and Sturgeon Bay.
Officials in those areas cite growing public concern over surveillance and privacy.
The University of Wisconsin Madison Police Department is asking for help with a 58-year-old cold case.
The agency sent out a call for assistance with the murder of Christine Rothschild back in 1968.
Rothschild was found dead after reportedly being strangled and stabbed several times during finals week when she was an 18-year-old freshman.
She was killed next to Sterling Hall on campus, but no suspect was ever caught.
University police encourage anybody with information to come forward, even if they think the details may be insignificant.
President Trump is coming to Western Wisconsin today.
The White House says the president is coming to highlight his support for Wisconsin farmers.
As part of the president's trip, he's expected to speak at Custer Farm in Chippewa Falls.
And UW-Stout is taking a new name.
The University of Wisconsin Board of Regents has approved a change in the name to UW-Stout Polytechnic.
Leaders say the new name reflects Stout's mission in regards to applied learning and research, business and industry collaboration, and career-focused experiences.
The name changes the first for a school in the UW system since it was created in 1971.
