Muskego police, fire referendum; voters reject $5.9M measure

MILWAUKEE - Muskego voters on Tuesday rejected a $5.9 million referendum to fund additional police officers and transition to full-time staffing for fire department services. Muskego presented the referendum as the city's population expands. If passed, the property tax increase would have added about $500 annually to the tax bill of a median-assessed home valued at $512,000.

Milwaukee Street Takeovers: One Year Into The Crackdown

Over Labor Day weekend last year, streets across the city erupted in chaos. Throughout each night, drivers performed burnouts, skidded across intersections and spun donuts as fireworks shot into the air. In some cases, fires were set. Boisterous crowds ringed the intersections to watch, cheer on the drivers and livestream the action, often coming dangerously close to the speeding cars. In the morning after these so-called street takeovers, the intersections bore the black rings of tire skid marks.

West Bend's New $24.7M Fire Station Set For Grand Opening

West Bend will open its new $24.7 million Fire Station #1 with a grand opening and open house, marking the debut of a facility years in the making. The new station spans 44,000 square feet and sits on what used to be the Johnson Bus property, a 12-acre parcel near highways 33 and 45, per the same outlet's earlier coverage of the project. It replaces the department's longtime home at 325 N. 8th Ave., which served the community for nearly 60 years before officials raised concerns about its functionality and condition, prompting the city to approve this project.

A state legislator is launching a long shot bid to preserve the current Milwaukee Public Museum after its replacement opens next year. Rep. Russell Goodwin (D-Milwaukee) tells Milwaukee Magazine that he is exploring whether the state could purchase the county-owned building and use part of it as a scaled-back museum while turning the rest into offices for justice-related state agencies and possibly other uses.

Cirrus Plans Germantown Rental Development

Carillon at Germantown is a proposed rental development by Cirrus Property Group. The firm also has a project underway in Grafton. The Germantown development has been described with differing unit counts in public records and reporting. A site plan application filed with the village identifies Daniel Hasbani of Cirrus Property Group as agent for Tanner Hahn of Faith Lutheran Church and describes the project as a 36-unit multifamily development at W172N11187 Division Road. A Milwaukee Business Journal report from January similarly characterized the plan as a 36-unit rental project. But a BizTimes report on the same church-partnered proposal described it as a 42-unit apartment community, and the available records do not clarify whether the project's size changed between filings or whether the two accounts refer to different versions of the plan.

Election Day errors add to Milwaukee’s history of messy elections

Votebeat is a nonprofit news organization reporting on voting access and election administration across the U.S. Sign up for Votebeat Wisconsin’s free newsletter here . Walking down Milwaukee’s Brady Street nightlife district on Oct. 23, near hundreds of rowdy fans cheering on the Brewers in Game 1 of the World Series, Wisconsin Elections Commission appointee Bob Spindell raised a topic that’s often on his mind: his distrust in the city’s election operations. Spindell — a former Milwaukee election commissioner who signed false certificates of election for President Donald Trump in 2020 — told Votebeat that he had been trying to make a $100 bet that something would go wrong with the city’s 2026 election, but nobody would take him up on his offer. His faith in the city had not improved by Monday, as he followed Milwaukee officials leading a walkthrough of the facility where all its absentee ballots would be counted the following day. “I assume something will go wrong tomorrow,” he told Votebeat. Spindell would have won his bet. Not long after polls opened on Tuesday, officials discovered that a tabulator — which hadn’t counted any ballots yet — lacked a proper security seal over a panel door.
