With Brewer's Fever sweeping Wisconsin, state officials are warning fans to watch out for ticket scams.
The Wisconsin Department of Trade and Consumer Protection says sold-out events, like playoff games, are a breeding ground for scammers hawking fake or counterfeit tickets.
DATCP Secretary Randy Romansky says be wary of too good to be true offers.
Sellers offering ticket printouts or photocopies and any requests to pay by wire transfer or prepaid debit cards.
He says the best way to buy tickets is directly from the team's website or official box office.
If you do go to the secondary market for tickets, he says make sure to use platforms with built-in buyer guarantees like SeatGeek and always make sure to check for hidden fees before checking out.
Wisconsin Attorney General Josh Call says his office is preparing for possible election security issues ahead of November's election.
In an interview with Civic Media Call addressed concerns about federal agents being sent to polling places.
It's against federal law for a federal officer to direct armed agents to an active polling place, and I don't think that the Trump administration will be violating that law, but if they do, we are prepared to respond.
He encourages voters to report any concerns.
First, somebody can contact one of the folks who's working at the polling place where they are.
They can also contact their local clerk or the state election commission.
Call also raised concerns about possible mail delivery delays and urged absentee voters to return their ballots early.
The race for Green Bay Mayor just got a bit bigger as City Council President Alyssa Profitt officially kicked off her campaign last Friday.
Profitt says her decision to run for Mayor comes from what she's learned working with current Mayor Eric Genrich and encouragement from people in her Green Bay neighborhood.
Profitt joins former Green Bay Mayor Jim Schmidt as the only announced candidate in the race.
Mayor Genrich recently announced he will not seek a third term.
The new Oshkosh law tilting power of the pub crawl to police seems to have made an impact.
Residents say this year's pub crawl event last weekend was quieter and less violent than in years past.
Saturday's event was the first pub crawl since the Oshkosh Common Council unanimously passed the ordinance in September to strengthen law enforcement around the event, an unsanctioned tradition of bar hopping that spawns house parties near the UW Oshkosh campus.
Last spring's pub crawl prompted 65 calls for police who gave out more than 40 tickets and arrested 10 people.
A 23-year-old man was also arrested after an alleged shooting near the UWO campus.
With just weeks to go until the November election, Democratic candidate for Wisconsin's third congressional district, Rebecca Cook, spoke to voters around the health care crisis and the impact the Trump administration is having on rural hospitals.
Civic media's James Callie takes us to the Chippewa Valley campaign stop.
During a press conference outside the former HSH's Sacred Heart Hospital site on Thursday, Cook criticized the one big beautiful bill passed last year and the impact it could have on rural hospitals.
The hospital that's behind us here has been closed for years.
And when it closed, we lost behavioral health beds.
We lost labor and delivery.
We lost a fixture in this community that has ensured that people have access to care here in the Chippewa Valley.
Cook says if Democrats take control of the House of Representatives and Senate in the November election, their first legislative session should be solely focused on health care.

Medicaid cuts from the One Big Beautiful Bill Act are projected to cost Wisconsin roughly $7 billion in federal Medicaid funding over 10 years, severely straining rural health care infrastructure.
And that's your state news update.
