Governor Tony Evers is making another request to President Trump, this time for federal disaster aid after July storms in the Fox Valley.
The governor is seeking help for people and communities in forest, out of gamey, vilus, and Winnebago counties.
State and federal damage reviews estimate more than $8 million in residential losses and nearly $14 million in public sector damage.
The request follows an EF-3 tornado in the Monash-Appleton area, along with high winds, hail, power outages, and water system problems.
Wisconsin is part of a proposed $17 billion settlement with META that aims to make Facebook and Instagram safer for children.
It'll send up to $313 million to the state.
The agreement follows a multi-state investigation into claims that META knew its products could harm young users but failed to do enough to protect them.
The settlement must first be approved by a court.
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.
That was the third consecutive year the fair saw at least one million visitors, but is now falling short of that mark for the second straight year.
Next year's event is scheduled to take place from August 5th to August 15th.
Badger football games are adding competition to the concession stands.
Fans will be treated to new menu items this season that's called Battle of the Dogs, where a new hot dog will be introduced each home game based on Wisconsin's opponent.
That includes the Michigan State Spicy Spartan Dog and Rutgers Fat Dog.
Camp Randall Stadium will be offering other new menu items this year, such as the Badgers Cheeseburger and Taki Street Corn.
A woman convicted in the Slenderman stabbing case wants out again.
Now, 24-year-old Morgan Geiser's attorney is once again filing a petition for her conditional release.
A Waukesha County judge formally signed off on Geiser's conditional release in July of 2025.
She was placed in a Madison Group home the following September and escaped from it in November.
Geiser was found at a truck stop outside of Chicago and returned to Wisconsin a few days later.
Her conditional release was revoked December 23rd of 2025.
Measles cases in southwestern Wisconsin continue to increase.
The latest update from the Wisconsin Department of Health Services says the number now stands at 61, including 17 probable cases of the illness.
Iowa County has 35 confirmed cases, while Grant and Lafayette counties are also impacted by the outbreak.
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.
Emails may come from unofficial domains such as USA.com and will demand payment via wire transfer.
Some emails have also threatened delays if fees weren't taken care of immediately.
The city says residents can verify the request directly by contacting the Community and Economic Development Department.
And that's your state news update.

At least four fights broke out.
Packers tight end, Tucker Kraft, you know, I thought we got a lot of good work in, you know, you can always expect some chippiness.

I mean, that's not an easy assignment and he knew he was available tonight and gave us parts of six, made big pitches at big times, jockey him through that.
That's the Brewers manager, Pat
Murphy.
With sports, I'm Mike Clemens.
