Menominee grants three conditional marijuana licenses

MENOMINEE — The City of Menominee has granted conditional marijuana retail licenses to three businesses that are built out and prepared to open. “We have started moving forward and have issued a retail license to the following: Highwire Wire Farms, Per I/Urb and Per II/Puff,” City Manager Brett Botbyl stated in an email. He said the licenses are contingent on the businesses passing all state and local inspections, codes, rules and full payment of application fees and/or past due/current taxes. This action comes as the result of a Nov. 3 ballot initiative that saw about 60% of voters approve increasing the number of marijuana licenses from nine to 13. There currently are eight licensed marijuana retailers in the city. All three of the businesses granted conditional licenses took different paths to get to this point. Highwire Farms, 1015 10th St. (corner of 10th Street and 10th Avenue), was part of a 2023 settlement agreement. Puff Cannabis, 2305 10th St. (the former Family Video location), was built out and ready to open last summer but could not get approval from the city. Urb, 1015 26th Ave. (the corner of 10th Street), has been ready to open for more than a year.

The Deadliest Wildfire in American History

On October 8, 1871, a devastating wildfire swept through northeastern Wisconsin—so devastating, in fact, that the disaster remains the deadliest wildfire in American history. It would later be known as the Peshtigo Fire, with a death toll ranging from 1,200 to 2,500 fatalities. Even with these jarring numbers, the tragedy is largely overshadowed by another event that occurred on the very same night : the Great Chicago Fire. The destruction unfolding around Peshtigo, however, was considerably deadlier. Within hours, homes, businesses, and vast stretches of forest had been consumed, leaving survivors struggling to comprehend what had happened. More than 150 years later, the catastrophe remains a disturbing example of how dangerous wildfires can truly get. A Disaster Years in the Making But how did such a deadly fire even erupt in Peshtigo? The story actually starts way back: long before the fire, Peshtigo had developed into a prosperous lumber town. Sawmills, woodworking factories, and railroad operations supported the local economy. However, it's not difficult to see that these industries also created dangerous conditions —case in point, that it would eventually lead to the most horrific fire in American history. It, of course, didn't help either that northeastern Wisconsin was experiencing

Marinette County committee debates reducing board

MARINETTE — Marinette County’s Executive Committee discussed reducing the county board from 30 members to 15, as a petition effort could put the question before voters in 2027. Public commenter Kim Brooks urged supervisors to consider board reduction alongside committee consolidation, while committee members debated representation, timing and how a smaller board would function. No action was taken at the Tuesday meeting. Brooks said consolidating committees could reduce repetitive meetings while maintaining oversight. She noted that many Wisconsin counties have consolidated committees and said a smaller board could be part of a broader restructuring. “You would have broad latitude in designing a new structure,” Brooks said. Brooks suggested that supervisors consider different committee assignments and options for public participation. She argued that streamlining could reduce staff time spent preparing for and attending meetings, while allowing department heads to focus on county work. Brooks also said meeting schedules affect who can serve. “This board does not adequately reflect the county,” Brooks said. Brooks added that morning and workday meetings can disadvantage working people, parents and other residents who might participate or serve as supervisors. Chair John Guarisco said his proposal was intended to open discussion, not prompt and immediate vote. He
