Highwire Farms owner won't sign a do-not sue provision

MENOMINEE — The result of last week’s ballot initiative in Menominee means nothing to Highwire Farms cannabis company principal owner Eric Kennedy. “Nothing has changed, it’s still capped and the lawsuit continues,” he told the EagleHerald. “They could go unlimited. It changes nothing.” Highwire Farms, 1015 10th St., was part of a settlement agreement in 2023 that promised retail licenses to six marijuana businesses. In exchange, those businesses agreed to indemnify or pay the city’s legal bills for future lawsuits and agreed not to appeal. Highwire Farms didn’t open at that time because it was mired in a legal situation over its location. It eventually settled at the intersection of 10th Avenue and 10th Street (most recently A&B Auto and before that a bank). A build-out ensued, but the business couldn’t get the green light from the city. When Menominee County Circuit Judge Mary B. Barglind lifted an injunction this past July that opened the door for a ninth license — one that Kennedy felt he was owed. He wasn’t alone. Puff Cannabis (located at the former Family Video location on 10th St.) and Urb (located just north of City Hall on 10th Street) also feel they deserve licenses. Puff

Staffing shortfall puts court collections work under scrutiny

MARINETTE — A staffing shortage in the Marinette County Clerk of Circuit Court’s office is delaying new submissions to Wisconsin’s state debt collection program, prompting committee members to question the financial impact and discuss ways to help. At the public safety committee’s Tuesday meeting, Clerk Carrie Brazeau described an office struggling to retain employees while managing a growing workload. Brazeau said the last state debt collection submission was completed in late January, covering December’s work. “I do not have the staff to keep up with the work,” Brazeau told the committee. The program collects qualifying debts owed to the county, with the state taking a commission from the amounts it recovers. Supervisor Peter Noppenberg said the county figures showed $945,071 collected through the program in 2025. He estimated that delays in sending new files could mean “approximately $79,000 in income every month is not being pursued.” Brazeau cautioned that the figures for submissions and collections were different. Money collected in a given month may come from cases submitted years earlier, she said and sending a file does not mean the county will receive payment immediately. “There is a difference between how much you submit and how much you actually receive,”

Green Bay Mayor Eric Genrich proposes his last and largest city budget

(This story has been updated to add new information.) Green Bay Mayor Eric Genrich has proposed his last city budget, suggesting a $149.6 million fund for expenses in 2027. It would be the city’s largest budget to date to cover the growing costs of public services that have worried officials about their reliance on property taxes. The proposal would grow the city’s overall spending by about 4% from 2026, a faster rate of change than 2025-2026 and slower than the years immediately following the city’s revaluation done in 2022. Property taxes would rise modestly. Genrich posed a tax rate of $8.62 for every $1,000 of assessed property value, a 3% rise from 2026. For a property estimated at $250,000, the owner would pay $2,155 in taxes for city services, or about $62 more than 2026, not including other tax bill items, like county, school district and technical college taxes unaffected by the city’s budget. In all, the city would collect $75.6 million in levied property taxes, including tax increment districts. This would be about 3.6% greater than the $72.9 million levied in 2026.
