Madison is earning global recognition after being named one of National Geographic's top 25 must-visit destinations for 2027.
The publication highlighted Wisconsin's capital city for its scenic lakes, vibrant parks and thriving local food and dining scene.
Tourism officials say the honor comes after years of building relationships with travel writers to showcase everything Dane County has to offer.
Business owners and community leaders are celebrating the global spotlight, calling it a huge
of pride for the area's hospitality and culture.
The Madison Common Council has voted to terminate interim independent police monitor Arameek Glass effective immediately.
The move comes following weeks of controversy over her job performance outlined in an employment review from the city attorney's office.
That review states Glass had made no meaningful progress in searching for a permanent monitor after nearly 10 months with no approved job description, posting or interviews.
It also cited a missed July 17 budget deadline, strained relationships with Madison police,
and an open outside investigation into complaints about Glass's own conduct.
As we get closer to the November 3rd election, the Wisconsin Department of Motor Vehicles is reminding voters to make sure they have the proper photo ID before heading to the polls.
Acceptable forms of identification include a Wisconsin driver's license or state ID card.
A federally compliant real ID is not required to vote.
Other forms of identification, including certain military and student IDs, may also
be accepted.
For those who need an ID to vote, the DMV offers state ID cards free of charge.
And if the card isn't ready in time for election day, eligible voters can receive a temporary receipt that can be used at the polls.
And that's your state news update.
I'm Maddie Schaefer for Civic Media News.
