Deteriorating Vietnam memorial restored ahead of Veterans Day

Two summers ago, Brenda Lee Love and her family made the 3½-hour journey from Wausau to Milwaukee. They wanted to show her father, Phillip Allen Love, his brick at the Southeastern Wisconsin Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Veterans Park, which honors Wisconsinites who served in the Vietnam War. He affectionally called it "my brick" and talked about it all the time, keeping a photo on his desk. His family bought the brick as a surprise for him around 2001, but they hadn't all traveled together to see it until 2024. It was her father's first time visiting the site. 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."

Wausau alders split over answering residents during public comment; city memo finds no legal bar

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. Committee Chair Kristin Slonski said the council’s practice has been to listen to speakers, thank them and avoid back-and-forth, but that practice appears nowhere in the rules.

The Public Service Commission of Wisconsin has approved rate increases for WE Energies customers for 2027 and 2028

The Public Service Commission of Wisconsin has approved rate increases for W.E. Energies customers for 2027 and 2028, though the adjustments are lower than the utility's initial requests. Under the approved decision, base electric rates will rise by 3.9% in 2027 and an additional 3.5% in 2028. For a typical residential customer, the 2027 adjustment translates to a monthly bill increase of approximately $7 to $8, or roughly $156 over the full year. In 2028, residential bills are projected to increase by another $6 to $7 per month.
