Property Committee dims on campus solar array proposal

The Barron County Property Committee, at its Monday, Nov. 9, meeting, indefinitely tabled pursuing a solar array project at UW-Eau Claire — Barron County, opting to keep the green space as is rather than filling it with solar panels to potentially raise funds for the university and county. The committee members had a copy of a Solar Feasibility Study that was prepared by Upper 90, a Centrix Company. According to the study’s executive summary, the county and campus engaged in the firm to evaluate the feasibility of a ground-mounted solar array on undeveloped county-owned land at the campus at 1800 College Drive, Rice Lake. The study was funded by the Wisconsin Public Service Commission Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant. It presented two options, both of which would generate more electricity than the entire campus currently uses in a year. The second option would generate roughly three times campus usage. The study said the array site — east of the main campus — appears workable as it sits away from the Red Cedar River mitigating DNR shoreline/floodplain concerns. It stated that the main obstacles would include relocating a portion of the adjacent disc golf course and installing a security fencing

Barron County stays red, but state goes blue; local legislators comment

Barron County voters had the Republican party’s back on Nov. 3, but the rest of Wisconsin did not follow suit, elected a slate of Democrats to the state’s top offices and flipped the Legislature. Entering Wisconsin’s Fall Election, the GOP knew it was facing a possible midterm-election upheaval. In Wisconsin, President Donald Trump’s approval rating was 37%, according to a Marquette Law School Poll released Oct. 28. Democratic gubernatorial candidate David Crowley had the support of 51% of likely voters, compared with GOP opponent Tom Tiffany’s support at 44%. But Barron County has a deep red streak when it comes to voting, and election results showed it stayed true to form. GovernorCrowley, the Milwaukee County administrator, won 7,550 out of 20,163 votes cast in his race in the county, or 37% of the vote. On the other hand Tiffany, a Minocqua resident who gave up a reelection bid for Wisconsin’s 7th Congressional District representative to run for governor, earned 12,613, or 63% of the vote. Included in these totals were votes from Rice Lake, which gave Tiffany 1,767 votes out of 3,331 cast between them (53%) to Crowley’s 1,564 (47%). Statewide, however, Crowley won handily with 54% of the nearly

River Falls, Troy clash over subdivision review amid Hudson boundary talks

The River Falls Plan Commission on Nov. 4 recommended that the city restore its full extraterritorial subdivision review authority, a move the town of Troy has contested. The decision comes as Hudson and Troy work on a cooperative boundary agreement without River Falls as a party. Hudson moved from a fourth-class to a third-class city in 2022, a change city staff said at the time was driven mainly by the chance to extend its extraterritorial plat approval jurisdiction from 1.5 to 3 miles.

Deb Haaland and Peggy Flanagan Mark Their Historic Wins in Intentional Earrings

Last night, the 2026 midterm election results delivered plenty of historic firsts. It was a particularly powerful night for Native American representation: Democrat Deb Haaland became the first Native American woman to be elected as Governor of New Mexico, while Peggy Flanagan—the current lieutenant governor of Minnesota—became the first Native woman to win the U.S. Senate seat in her state. (And there could even be a third victory for the Indigenous community today: at the time of publishing this story, Alaska’s Mary Peltola is currently leading the race for a Senate seat, too.)
