Here's your local news at a glance for Monday, the 6th of October.
Good morning, Waukesha.
🎭 Culture
Mike Grass put up a Halloween display featuring skeletons in Packers jerseys and skeletons in other teams' jerseys hanging from a noose (a nod to celebrating the Packers season).
He said he created the display to mix Halloween fun with his love for the Packers and will not change it even if some are upset.
🌲 Environment
Waukesha received permission to pull water from Lake Michigan and is now choosing a route that may run treated water through the Root River in Racine — fisheries say this could boost water levels while local groups worry about pollution and scarce fresh water.
The City Council will meet in closed session on Tuesday October 17 to discuss buying public property for the project.
🏛️ Government
Waukesha proposed a $160 annual fee per household for garbage and recycling collection to cover budget shortfalls from state tax limits and rising costs.
Some residents voiced concerns while others supported the idea, and the proposal will be reviewed by the Common Council on Oct. 7.
