 A zoo in Ohio is sharing the first look at its tiny new endangered resident.  A Facebook post shows three adorable photos of a baby pigmy slow loris.  It’s unclear if the three-week-old is a boy or girl because zookeepers are waiting to do a thorough exam.  That will happen in about six months when it becomes more independent.  For now, the baby is staying behind the scenes with mom and dad.  CLICK HERE FOR MORE FROM THE ZOO.

There is still no answer as to why. Click below for more 715 Newsroom coverage with Jon DeMaster: No one is saying why two coworkers at the Roundy’s warehouse in Oconomowoc were killed yesterday. The man named as the suspect in the case, 41-year-old Fraron Cornelius, died in what police are calling a suicide not long after the killings at the warehouse. Investigators say Cornelius had a ‘work relationship’ with the victims, but no one is elaborating. The union that

Eau Claire’s planning director says the new pitch for apartments in the Cannery District is exactly what the city has been looking for. Economic Development Manager Aaron White says the 53- million-dollar proposal for apartments and shopping along Oxford Avenue would be a great addition. A company from Duluth is pushing the project which will consist of two, five-story buildings and 240 apartments. White says work on the project could begin within the next year or so.

Wisconsin’s coronavirus cases are at their lowest point since last summer. The state’s Department of Health Services yesterday said there are just over six-thousand active cases. That means someone who has tested positive has not yet reached the two-week quarantine mark. DHS says more than 557-thousand people have fully recovered after testing positive over the past year. That’s nearly 98-percent of everyone who’s ever tested positive in the state. CLICK HERE FOR MORE FROM WI DHS. However, that might not

Bars and taverns across Wisconsin are a big step closer to be able to sell cocktails to go. The state Assembly yesterday approved a plan to allow wine and liquor sales to go. Wisconsin’s Tavern League says bars and restaurants need a way to make-up for the business they’ve lost because of the coronavirus. The proposal allows for drinks in original containers only, which means bartenders can’t mix a drink and put it in a to-go cup. The plan now heads to the

There is another election lawsuit in Wisconsin. Conservative businessman Jere Fabick on Monday filed a lawsuit aimed at ending the use of ballot drop boxes, at outlawing ballot harvesting, and seeking to stop local election managers from filling-in missing information on ballots. All three are complaints from the November election in the state. Fabick is not trying to overturn last fall’s election. Instead, his lawsuit seeks to make changes before the next election.

Lawmakers will decide what gets built and what gets improved in the state. Republicans on the state’s Joint Finance Committee yesterday voted down Governor Evers’ 2.4 billion-dollar building plan. Nearly half of the governor’s proposal would have gone to the UW System. The decision doesn’t mean there will be no construction in the state over the next two years, but it simply means that lawmakers will decide which projects get green lighted and which will not.

 The IRS is reportedly pushing the federal tax filing deadline to mid-May.  Tom Roberts has the story.

Employees at Roundy’s Distribution Center in Waukesha County are grappling with the loss of three co-workers in a workplace shooting.  Authorities say one employee at the warehouse in Oconomowoc shot and killed two other employees last night and then fled the scene.  The suspect was spotted by cops driving in Milwaukee County and crashed his car during a police chase.  The suspect took his own life before he could be taken into custody.
