Former candidate for governor Mandela Barnes files defamation lawsuit against Journal Sentinel

MILWAUKEE, Wis. (WBAY/WISN) - A former candidate for Wisconsin governor filed a defamation lawsuit against Journal Sentinel, Inc. on Tuesday, Nov. 10. Former Lt. Gov. Mandela Barnes is disputing the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel’s reporting in two articles published on July 30, the same day he dropped out of the race for governor. Barnes claims the newspaper acted with actual malice, and made “false statements and implications despite contrary information and a disclosed reporting conflict,” according to the lawsuit.

Milwaukee is overdue for snow, according to historical averages

Milwaukee is overdue for its first snow, according to historical averages. Milwaukee, on average, sees its first snow on Nov. 2, the Journal Sentinel reported . Madison is also overdue with its average first snowfall coming Oct. 27. Milwaukee is very likely to see its first snow this month. The Farmers' Almanac and Old Farmer's Almanac both suggest snow could be around during Thanksgiving week. A first snowfall arriving in December isn't common. The record for the latest snow of all time is Dec. 5. It likely won't be the snowiest winter for Milwaukee this year. A historically strong El Niño is possible, and that has brought below average amounts of snow in previous winters. That doesn’t mean no snow will fall. Andrew Quigley, a National Weather Service meteorologist, previously told the Journal Sentinel that an El Niño is an overall weather pattern that will impact the season. But localized, day-by-day weather could buck the overall trend. During the strong El Niño in the winter of 1997-98, the city saw 9.1 fewer inches of snow than average. Yet Jan. 9, 1998, it snowed 11.6 inches. Here are the first measurable snowfalls during past years. More: Hales Corners hires new plow

Run Black and Green Connects Wellness With Community Action in Milwaukee

MILWAUKEE, WI— Leaves crunched underfoot as participants in Run Black and Green’s Strides for Survival event walked through McGovern Park on Saturday, October 31, passing a lake, an apple orchard and a 300-year-old oak tree—sights many were seeing for the first time. The event, which celebrated the legacy of the Black Panther Movement, brought attendees together to move their bodies and learn from one another. For Nateya Taylor, who founded Run Black and Green, her passion for movement grew from her own experiences. “For me, growing up in Milwaukee, I was always afraid to move in my own neighborhood or to go on a walk in my own neighborhood,” Taylor said. The idea for Run Black and Green, now in its second year, came from Taylor’s experiences working in public health and her studies of criminal justice. In her studies, she was struck by the disparities Black people experience. Health outcomes for Black people in Milwaukee are worse in many cases than those for other racial and ethnic groups. A 2024 report from Health Compass Milwaukee showed that life expectancy for Black residents in Milwaukee County was 68.9 years, compared to 78.1 years for Hispanic residents and 79.7 years for

We Energies customers face another rate hike — but smaller, as regulators, Milwaukee Common Council, push back on utility

We Energies customers are in for another round of rate hikes over the next two years, although not as steep as the utility first proposed. Wisconsin’s Public Service Commission voted Thursday to approve a roughly 7% increase in We Energies’ electricity rates spread across 2027 and 2028 — the utility’s sixth consecutive rate hike. The utility expects an average residential customer’s monthly bill to rise between $7 and $8 per month in 2027 and again by between $6 and $7 the following year.
