Wausau alders are debating whether council rules should let residents get an answer during public comment, after a city legal memo found no state law barring responses. The question came before the council’s Rules Review Committee on Monday. The meeting began a broad review of the standing rules that govern how the Wausau City Council and its committees do business.

Deteriorating Vietnam memorial restored ahead of Veterans Day

While he faced cancer and dementia, he understood what it meant when they suggested a trip to Milwaukee. When they arrived, he sat on one of the benches, emotions flooding him. "He was quiet at first, and then he remarked several times at how the soldiers would be so surprised at the condition," Brenda said. "And he just shook his head over and over, and that kind of stuck with me." Brenda wrote to the War Memorial Center about her father's dismay at the state of the bricks – their faded lettering, an algae-like texture. She received a lengthy email less than
