The woman who nearly starved her dog to death back in 2019 will not go to jail. A judge in Menomonie yesterday sentenced Anne Iehl to two years probation. Iehl was convicted back in May of not feeding the dog, now named Gabriel. Animal rescuers say the dog weighed just 23 pounds when they found him. Iehl says she wasn’t financially stable enough to take care of the dog on her own. The dog is now with a new family,

More apartments are coming to Eau Claire. The city council last night okayed the plan to renovate the Campus View Inn & Suites and turn it into apartments. The old motel is across from HSHS Sacred Heart Hospital on Eau Claire’s south side. Developers are promising 87 apartments by next fall.

The search for the suspects in La Crosse County’s triple murder is shifting to the Green Bay area. La Crosse County Sheriff Jeff Wolfe yesterday identified Khamthanet Rattanasack and Nya Thao as suspects in last Friday’s killings. Two of the victims in the triple murder were also Asian. The sheriff is not saying why they believe the two are in or around Green Bay, but deputies say they should be considered armed and dangerous. No one is yet offering any

The Wisconsin National Guard is short about 10-million-dollars for paychecks, and commanders aren’t sure what’s going to happen. The guard last week said Congress has not yet reimbursed the National Guard Bureau for the massive troop deployment to Washington, D.C. earlier this year. The lack of federal reimbursement means the Guard Bureau has not sent Wisconsin the 10-million-dollars earmarked for paychecks through the end of September. Commanders in Wisconsin say they are looking at places and programs to cut because of the lack of money. Wisconsin Congressman Bryan

Governor Tony Evers’ veto of a bill to end federal jobless benefits will stand.   Wisconsin Assembly Republicans failed today in an attempt to override the governor’s veto, falling short of the two-thirds majority needed.  Opponents to maintaining the 300-dollars-a-week supplement from the federal government say it is an incentive not to work.  Supporters say it is money needed by Wisconsin families and ends up going back into the Wisconsin economy.  The payments are scheduled to stop in early September.

A rare sight is caught on camera in Vilas County.  Brothers Brandon and Kyle Busch War were heading back to Eagle River from vacation in northern Wisconsin when a pure white deer crossed Highway 51 right in front of them.  They snapped the picture before the deer wandered into the woods.  Officials with Protect the White Deer say about one in every 20-thousand deer is a white deer, which have been protected in the state since 1940.

The Walnut Street Bridge in Green Bay has a new name.  Governor Tony Evers signed a bill today renaming the bridge over the Fox River the Bart Starr Memorial Bridge.  The renaming honors the legendary Packers quarterback who died two years ago at the age of 85.  Starr led the Pack to five NFL titles.

The drama is over as Aaron Rodgers is at Packers training camp.  The Pro Bowl quarterback arrived in Wisconsin late last night and reported to Lambeau Field early this morning.  Rodgers and the Packers front office had been at odds for several months, but it appears the team is ready to move forward.  The first practice is tomorrow and if weather permits it will be open to the public.

Health officials are expected to issue new mask guidance today.  NBC News reports it has to do with masking up in areas where the spread of the virus is high.  The report says new data suggests those who are fully vaccinated could have higher virus levels than first believed.  The sources say they could infect others because of that.  The CDC said back in May that vaccinated people don’t need to mask up in many indoor places.
