President Biden is coming back to Wisconsin today. The president will make a campaign stop in Madison. The visit is the latest from either the president, the vice president, or the first lady to the state. Wisconsin is, of course, one of the key states in this year’s presidential election. The latest Marquette Law School Poll gives the president a two-point lead among likely voters in the state.

The Juneau County cabin that burned and killed six people didn’t have a rental permit. Authorities say the cabin, which was regularly listed on Airbnb, was never licensed or inspected for rental. Six people died in the fire at the camp in Necedah last week. No one is saying just what caused the fire, or whether a rental permit would have avoided the fire. The local health department says people have to have an inspection as part of their licensing,

Authorities in Two Rivers say they don’t want people to stop searching for Elijah Vue. Police in the city say the searches from volunteers are one of the key pieces to their investigation into the little boy’s disappearance. Elijah went missing back in February after spending a few days with his mother’s boyfriend. Two Rivers police say they don’t want people to forget about the case. But there haven’t been any solid leads in a while, and investigators say the

It was a violent Fourth of July in Milwaukee. Police in the city say five people were shot yesterday, one of them died. The deadly shooting happened about 10:45 last night on North 25th. Police say there was an argument, then someone pulled out a gun and shot a 42-year-old. Milwaukee Police say they did not make an arrest in the case.

Eau Claire is now home to the Midwest’s largest self-pour taproom. The Phoenix Taproom has 72 different beers to choose from. People get to pour their own, and pay by the glass. The idea is to let people try as many local, Wisconsin beers as they’d like and maybe land on a new favorite in the process. The Phoenix Taproom has been celebrating a grand opening week and you can CLICK HERE TO POUR OUT THE DETAILS.

There’s a new men’s champion and a new women’s record in the July 4th hot dog eating contest in Coney Island. Patrick Bertoletti has secured the mustard belt, scarfing down 58 dogs and buns in ten minutes. The 39-year-old Illinois native likely wouldn’t have had a chance if 16-time champ Joey Chestnut, with a record of 76 dogs, hadn’t bowed out this year over his deal with a vegan brand. Meanwhile, a familiar name won the women’s side. Mike Sudo

A western Wisconsin woman accused of killing her husband then burning his body will go to trial. A judge in Black River Falls yesterday found Star Myers competent enough to stand trial. Prosecutors in Jackson County say she shot her husband to death in March of last year, then set his body on fire to try and cover-up her crime. She is due back in court in September, but there’s no word when her trial could actually begin.

Some of the folks who live at the Romeis Apartments in Chippewa Falls say they were ordered out of their apartment because the building is not fit for human occupancy. Engineers looked at the building last week, and said there are serious structural concerns. Their report says an entire wing of the apartment building should be emptied-out until the building’s owner can shore-up the foundation, and fix several other areas. The people who live in East Wing say they were

The Coast Guard has closed a couple parts of the Mississippi River in western Wisconsin. The Coast Guard yesterday said it’s closed Pools 5A and 6 running from Whitman, Minnesota down to Trempealeau.  Coast Guard commanders say the recent rains have swollen the Mississippi, which has made it dangerous for people and their boats. Another section of the river in Iowa has also been closed because of high water. The National Weather Service has issued a Flood Warning for the

The future of Wisconsin’s law that recalibrated how local taxpayers paid for public school unions is in limbo. A judge in Dane County yesterday struck down parts of Act 10. The judge said there’s no rational explanation as to why some police officers in the state were exempted from the law that had some public employees pay more for their retirements and healthcare, and some were not. The judge said that putting UW police officers in a different category as
