Here's your Daily News Roundup.
Wisconsin voters who've already returned their absentee ballots for the state's primary cannot void those and request a new ballot with accurate candidates listed.
A judge made that ruling yesterday dealing a blow to Democrats who filed a lawsuit to give voters a do-over because of the chaotic party primary in the governor's race.
Two candidates were on those ballots who are no longer in the race and another candidate who dropped out is now back in.
The ruling is almost certain to be appealed with voting already underway in the state's primary for governor.
A new poll shows state representative Francesca Hong widening her lead among Democrats vying to be Wisconsin's next governor.
The Marquette University Law School poll released yesterday shows Hong with the support of 38% of Democratic voters, followed by former Lieutenant Governor Mandela Barnes at 16%.
It's the first poll taken since Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley re-entered the race earlier this month.
Crowley came in with 7% support.
Former Governor Evers' Cabinet Member Joel Brennan and State Senator Keldor Royce both
had 2% support according to the poll.
However, 34% of voters say they're still undecided ahead of the August 11th primary.
A Wisconsin Appeals Court has overturned a ruling that restored collective bargaining power for many state workers.
The 2011 anti-union law under Governor Scott Walker effectively ended most public employee's ability to bargain for wage increases and other issues.
All five Democratic candidates for governor this year have vowed to repeal the law if elected.
The primary is August 11th.
Authorities have named the man shot and killed by a Wisconsin deputy in Adams County last Monday.
Adams County Sheriff's deputies say 48-year-old Brian Conrad of Hancock was reported by neighbors to be going crazy and waving a gun.
Authorities say Conrad refused multiple commands to drop the gun before walking into the road with the gun and turning toward a deputy.
That officer fired a single shot which killed Conrad.
The investigation is ongoing.
The sight of large men riding tiny bikes across Oneida Street in Green Bay can only mean one thing.
Packer's training camp has officially begun.
The time-honored tradition where players and coaches team up with local kids and ride their bikes to the practice field has been going on at Lambeau Field since the 1950s.
Nowadays, kids with disabilities can join the fun, too, thanks to specially adapted bikes on hand at Lambeau.
That was the kind of bike Jordan Love chose yesterday to cruise with a small companion over to Ranitsky Field.
It was the first of three consecutive training camp days this week.
After a day off on Saturday, the team will have three more.
public practices leading up to family night on August 7th.
If you'd like to join the rail birds to watch the pack practice during training camp, you can find a complete list of practice dates at packers.com.
The Wisconsin Department of Justice has joined another multi-state coalition against the Trump administration.
As civic media's James Kelly tells us, the issue is about clean drinking water.
According to a press release, the coalition has filed comments opposing a rollback on limits for certain kinds of PFAS in drinking water proposed by the Environmental Protection Agency.
Those limits were adopted under the Safe Drinking Water Act, which passed around two years ago and gave the agency the authority to set national standards for chemicals and contaminants in the drinking water.
The EPA proposal would eliminate that regulatory authority covering four specific types of PFAS chemicals but does not affect the agency's national drinking water standards for two of the most common forms of the forever chemicals.
The coalition is arguing that the proposal is illegal and arbitrary and ignores the years of research and analysis by the agency that went into establishing those limits.
I'm James Kelly for Civic Media
Contract time for Tucker Kraft.
Hi, I'm Mike Clemens with Sports in Green Bay, where the Packers training camp is underway, tied in Tucker Kraft recovering from surgery from a torn ACL, but says why it's in the best interest of the Packers to sign him to a new contract now.
I think the best chance for Green Bay to win a Lombardi is with me on the field as well.
People are in the front office telling me that and the importance of us getting this deal done in a timely fashion.
I've said over and over again, like I'm just, I'm so grateful to be a part
of this organization and I would like to keep it that way.
Meanwhile, the Packers other tight end, Luke Musgrave, is unable to practice.
We've always run here with head, necks, and hearts.
It's a little bit more sensitive than some of the other injuries, right?
You gotta take that a little bit slower and make sure that what you know is what you know.
This is a neck injury, so we'll take our time and make sure we know what we know before we put it at any kind of risk.
That's Packers GM, Brian Goodekins.
Baseball, the Brewers got clobbered in San Francisco 16-3.
They play the Angels tomorrow night with sports on Mike Clemens.
It is going to be partly cloudy to mostly sunny today.
with patchy, smoky haze out there are high in the upper 80s to near 90 this afternoon.
Tonight mostly cloudy.
We're going to drop into the mid 60s tomorrow.
Scattered showers and thunderstorms and quite a bit cooler with a high in the mid to upper 70s.

In the news this morning, Walmart Incorporated has filed an objection to the real estate property assessment for its Richland Center location at 2401 US Highway 14 East, challenging the current assessment of $12,858,600.
In its filing, the company submitted an opinion of value of $5,440,000 for the property.
Walmart, represented by Mallory SC of Milwaukee,
as requested a waiver of the upcoming Board of Review hearing, asking to have the matter taken directly to Circuit Court.
Should the waiver request be denied, the company has asked for the right to provide testimony via telephone.
The Richland Center Board of Review is scheduled to meet today at 6 p.m.
in the City Municipal Building.
In a significant legal turn, a Wisconsin Appeals Court panel ruled two to one yesterday to restore, act
10, the contentious 2011 law that largely eliminated collective bargaining rights for most public employees.
Scott Bauer of the Associated Press reports the decision overturns a December 2024 lower court ruling that had declared the law unconstitutional.
While the lower court had found that the law created irrational exemptions for certain public safety workers, the appeals court majority concluded that the Wisconsin legislature had a rational basis for these distinctions and that courts must defer to legislative fiscal policy decisions.
This reversal maintains the status quo as the 2024 ruling had been stayed pending appeal.
keeping the law in effect as it has been for the past 15 years.
The legal battle is far from over as unions are expected to appeal Wednesday's decision to the Wisconsin Supreme Court.
This next step is particularly notable because the state's High Court flipped to a liberal majority in 2023, marking the first time Act 10 has been challenged under this new judicial composition.
while Republican figures like Scott Walker praised the appeals court for respecting precedent and protecting taxpayers.
Union spokespeople like Christina Bray expressed continued confidence in the merits of their case.
As the litigation moves toward the Supreme Court, the political stakes remain high, with all five Democratic gubernatorial candidates vowing to repeal the law if elected.
Senator Ron Johnson, Chairman of the Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, has formally requested transcribed interviews with several former officials from the Food and Drug Administration and the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.
The list includes several former FDA officials as well as former NIAID Director Dr. Anthony Fauci.
These requests center on their involvement in the federal government's response to the COVID-19 pandemic, specifically regarding the safety and efficacy of the COVID-19 vaccines.
This action follows an interim report released by Chairman Johnson on April 29, which alleged that senior FDA officials ignored warnings about the agency's vaccine safety monitoring system, suggesting it may have concealed safety signals.
Chairman Johnson explicitly expressed a hope for transparency and cooperation from these individuals regarding their knowledge of these matters.
During a recent hearing before the Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs, Chairman Johnson questioned Dr. Fauci on vaccine safety.
However, Dr. Fauci declined to answer, citing his Fifth Amendment rights.
In a subsequent letter to Dr. Fauci, Chairman Johnson stated he is offering another opportunity
for transparency regarding the pandemic response, covering areas such as early treatments and the development, deployment and monitoring of COVID-19 vaccines.
In a proactive move to fortify the integrity of American democracy ahead of the 2026 midterms, U.S.
Senator Tammy Baldwin, alongside several Democratic and independent colleagues, has introduced the
stop harassment and intimidations in elections through legal defenses or SHIELD, our Elections Act.
This comprehensive piece of legislation is designed to create robust defenses against unlawful election interference and ensure that every American can cast their vote securely and without fear of intimidation.
The core purpose of the SHIELD, our Elections Act, is to provide voters and state attorneys general
with the legal standing necessary to combat interference as it happens.
By establishing a private right of action, the bill empowers individuals and state officials to sue when federal entities or others attempt to unlawfully meddle at polling locations.
This mechanism serves as a critical check against any administration that might seek to use federal authority to influence or disrupt the local administration of elections.
Governor Tony Evers and the Wisconsin Department of Revenue have distributed over $2.2 billion in shared revenue and property tax credits to local governments in 2026.
This funding totaling over $1.7 billion in direct relief for property owners and $584 million for local governments supports essential services like public safety, roads and libraries.
This initiative builds on the 2023 Wisconsin Act 12, which secured an increase in shared revenue and tied local government funding to state sales tax.
The distributions empower local communities to address their unique needs while reducing the property tax burden.
The sport of all terrain vehicle, ATV, and utility terrain vehicle, UTV Riding, is experiencing significant growth across Wisconsin.
Since 2023, annual registrations for these vehicles have consistently topped 500,000 units, reflecting their increasing popularity.
This surge is not limited to residents.
Over the past five years, the state has averaged nearly 30,000 non-resident trail passes sold annually, highlighting Wisconsin as a premier destination for off-road enthusiasts.
This growing interest translates into a substantial economic boost for the state.
According to an economic impact study published by the Wisconsin ATV-UTV Association, riders contributed an estimated $973 million to the economy in 2023 through spending on food and beverages alone.
This significant financial influx underscores the importance of the sport to local businesses and tourism-dependent communities throughout Wisconsin.
Richland County serves as a prime example of accessibility and infrastructure catering to this sport.
Currently, all Richland County trunk roads are open for ATV and UTV travel.
Furthermore, all but three townships have opened their local roads to these vehicles, providing riders with diverse route options and stunning views of the unique driftless area landscape.
This open road policy allows for seamless travel between rural scenic areas and local amenities.
With increased participation comes a focus on safety and regulatory compliance.
In Wisconsin, operators born on or after January 1st of 1988.
must complete a safety certification course to operate on public trails.
The minimum age for this requirement is 12 for ATV operators and 16 for UTV operators.
Additionally, local ordinances help manage the flow of traffic.
A recent Richland County ordinance, also adopted by the City of Richland Center, restricts hours of operation to between 4 a.m.
and 11 p.m.
DNR Conservation Wardens strongly recommend that all operators, regardless of age, complete a safety course to ensure a responsible riding experience.

In the news at this hour Walmart incorporated in care of Walmart real estate business trust has filed an objection
to the real estate property assessment for its Richland Center location at 2401 US Highway 14 East, challenging the current assessment of $12,858,600.
In its filing, the company submitted an opinion of value of $5,440,000 for the property.

Dodge County Sheriff Dale Schmidt has filed an amended federal complaint in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Wisconsin.
expanding his ongoing defamation lawsuit regarding claims that he and the Dodge County Sheriff's Office unlawfully detained an Illinois woman earlier this year.
The amended filing incorporates significant new evidence, including surveillance footage, hotel records and telephone logs, which directly contradict claims made by Sundas Nakvi, who alleged she was detained at the Dodge County Jail.
The new evidence also reveals extensive communication between Naqvi and her sister, Sarah Afzal, who has now been named as an additional defendant in the lawsuit.
The complaint further alleges a conspiracy involving Naqvi Afzal and Cook County Commissioner Kevin Morrison, who was a candidate for U.S.
Congress at the time, asserting that they coordinated to disseminate false information to harm Sheriff Schmidt's reputation.
Records cited in the filing document multiple phone calls between Naqvi and Commissioner Morrison during the precise period he publicly claimed to have lost contact with her while she was allegedly in custody.
Sheriff Schmidt maintains that this lawsuit is a necessary step to hold those who knowingly spread false allegations accountable and to establish an accurate factual record emphasizing that his office remains committed to transparency and that the evidence confirms Naqvi was never detained at the Dodge County facility.

This mechanism serves as a critical check against any administration that might seek to use federal authority to influence or disrupt the local administration
of elections.
Furthermore, the legislation addresses the long-term accountability of election-related offenses by significantly extending the statute of limitations for key federal election crimes from five to nine years.
This extension ensures that individuals who participate in voter intimidation or interference by armed forces can be held responsible by future administrations, preventing bad actors from simply waiting out the clock on their legal liability.
This provision underscores the principle that attempts to undermine the democratic process will have lasting legal consequences.
The act also contains vital protections for the physical security of the vote.
It implements strict limitations on the seizure of ballots and election equipment by law enforcement, requiring that such materials remain in the joint custody of court authorized election officials until an election's outcome is officially finalized.
To further modernize and secure the voting process, the bill authorizes a voluntary grant program to help states implement advanced mail and absentee ballot tracking, providing voters with increased confidence that their ballots are being handled with the highest standards of security and transparency.

These projects are vital for the safe and efficient transport of agricultural and forestry products across 64 of Wisconsin's 72 counties.
Governor Evers emphasized that repairing local infrastructure is essential
for safe, reliable roads and stated that these investments directly help communities that were previously overlooked.
The program was developed following an extensive assessment of over 16,500 small structures.
Significant funding is being distributed across various regions with the Southwest region receiving over $9 million.
U.S.
Secretary of Agriculture Brooke L. Rollins has introduced a significant initiative designed to bring veterans, transitioning service members and military spouses into mission-critical roles at the USDA.
This effort is focused on protecting the nation's food supply and strengthening agricultural security.
by tapping into the leadership and technical expertise of military-affiliated talent.
The strategy comprises two primary pillars.
The Department is expanding its partnership with the U.S.
Department of War's Skill Bridge Program, which provides active-duty service members the opportunity to gain civilian work experience in high-demand fields such as cybersecurity,
data analysis and forest management during their final 180 days of service.
Simultaneously, the new 100 hires in 100 days initiative
streamlines the recruitment process for veterans and military spouses by utilizing established hiring authorities to fill essential positions quickly.
Secretary Rollins noted that agricultural security is intrinsically linked to national security.
The unique operational experience and discipline of service members and their spouses will play a vital role in safeguarding critical infrastructure and supporting farmers and ranchers across the country.
Interested applicants are encouraged to visit the USDA website to explore these new pathways and career opportunities as the department continues its commitment to those who have served the nation.

John Clare stopped by our studios with an update on local turkey hunting and the National Wild Turkey Federation.
Real soon on August 28th, which is a Friday, we're the end of between
MWTF National Wild Turkey Federation is going to be having an event at the Phoenix Center.
It's kind of a banquet.
A couple of games of bingo involved as well helps us to raise funds for doing projects.
And the NWTF has done some purchases of public land for hunting in the area.
And they also have maintained some public lands here in Richland County with the money that's raised.
If you are interested in attending that, you may find information on the NWTF website.
You ask you a question, surprise you with one on the turkeys around here.
My wife and I went out for a UTV ride on Sunday and we went out past the fairgrounds up Cooper Hill and out Hustlers Ridge by Sunset Orchard.
There were turkeys everywhere.
Yes, the population has really done well in the last couple of years.
And if you're a real avid turkey hunter, you know that Wisconsin has some of the best turkey hunting.
in the country.
And the populations have not done as well in other parts of the country, out west and even in the southeast.
The turkey populations are facing some tough times, but here in Wisconsin we're doing really well.
I actually got a phone call, John, about 10 days ago from an old friend from my hunting industry days, who's Alex Rutledge from Missouri, who's a very well-known turkey, wanting to know where he could hunt birds in Richland County.
Okay.
There's plenty of places.
We have a lot of public land and um, for out of state people, they generally have to hunt the later seasons.
We have six different seasons and usually most of the landowners and their friends are done hunting.
So they'll be able to find some private land as well.
Headline reads, twin bluffs, once the sight of a woolen mill.
And now for Richardson County Historical Society, history moment.
Here's the rest of the story.
According to MPL Org Digital Collection, the Richland County History Room, ID number 12535.
It appeared in the Richland Observer on January 4, 1979, in section one on page 12.
Jacob Brimmer came to Wisconsin in the spring of 1850 by means of a covered wagon.
The Brimmer family at that time consisted of the mother, Elizabeth, her maiden name, Naye McNannis,
Brimmer and Benjamin Franklin Brimmer and then John McManus came along.
He stayed as it was because he helped drive the cows there.
They crossed the Wisconsin River on a ferry at Laws Landing, now called Riverview, near Bogus Bluff.
They first stopped at the Big Spring on Ash Creek and stayed there for a few months.
Then they came on, entered the farm that they now own in Richland County.
Jacob Brimmer cleared the land, built a two-story frame home on the hill south of the Pine Valley Manor.
He lived there for 10 years.
Then he traded his farm for that of Jacob Cross Cup, who had one on Ash Creek near Twin Bluffs.
That was also a carding mill and saw mill.
A carding mill?
Carding is the textile industry.
It's a mechanical process that disentangles and cleans raw fibers like cotton and wool,
to align them in a continuous, untwisted strand called a sliver.
After moving to the farm, he managed the woollen mill and sawmills for a few years, and then he made hayloaders.
A large dam was built across Ashkirk so that the woollen mill could be run there.
So what is a woollen mill, you ask?
Well, a woollen mill is a specialized factory that transforms raw, sheep, fleece, or animal fibers into yarn and fabric.
Jacob Brimmer studied medicine.
He went on to become a doctor in Richland County for several years.
He would ride horseback through the wilderness to care for his patients.
He also was the Richland County treasurer in 1854.
He had to carry money from Madison on horseback to Richland County.
For about 10 years, beginning in 1873, he owned a drugstore in Richland Center, which he managed with his son, John, and his other son, Benjamin, became a doctor.
They had their office in that very same drug store.
Jacob drove back and forth with his horse and buggy from Farm to Richland Center and back.
After the brimmers arrived in Richland County, they had three more children.
An advertisement about the brimmers' woolen mel in twin bluffs appears in that very same newspaper article.
Listen next week for the history of Richland County covering Frank's Hill.
Today's history moment is a service of the Richland County Historical Society.

A decade after producers organized the Tater Creek Watershed Council, a new study led by Lexi Wellman of UW-Madison reveals that efforts to increase managed grazing adoption resulted in a 14% reduction in phosphorus concentrations in the creek.
Wellman's research highlights the vital role of producer-led groups in advancing land use changes that support both agricultural viability and water quality.
Between 2019 and 2022, the Tainter Creek Farmer-led Water Quality Project distributed $173,000 to producers to implement conservation practices across
98 hectares.
By converting annual cropping systems to managed grazing, the project aimed to reduce surface water phosphorus, a significant concern in driftless stream systems.
Wellman notes that focusing conservation investment on transitioning agricultural land to perennial grazing provides a higher return on efforts compared to incremental management practices.
The community can learn more about these findings at the Coon Creek Community Watershed Council's
upcoming general meeting August 5th at 6 p.m.
The event will be held at the Munch Farm located at S995 Bagstad Lane in Coon Valley.
Attendees will hear from Wellman and producer leaders who helped develop the economic analysis tools used in the Tainter Creek project.
The Coon Creek Community Watershed Council is also offering cost share opportunities for managed grazing adoption to producers in the Coon Creek,
West Fork Kickapoo and Little La Crosse watersheds.
Interested producers can find more information on their website.
