Milwaukee’s Department of Public Works is warning that streets in the city won’t be plowed as quickly this winter because they don’t have enough snowplow drivers. Public Works director Danielle Rodriguez yesterday told city council members that it’s “extremely difficult” to find drivers this year.

The state’s Department of Health Services yesterday said just eight counties are listed as having critically high coronavirus activity. That number was at 16 during the start of the week. Critically high activity usually means a positivity rate of over one percent, though many times it’s a reflection of low population. All of the critically high counties in Wisconsin are small counties. Most of the rest of the state has what DHS is

Wisconsin’s attorney general is asking a judge to stop part of the investigation into last year’s election.
