WAUWATOSA, Wis. — Residents in one Wauwatosa neighborhood say turkey attacks of delivery drivers have become an almost daily occurrence. People in the Glenview Heights neighborhood say at night, the birds will often roost in a tree, but during the day, they're invading the backyards and streets, and for some reason, often launching aggressive attacks toward delivery drivers and their vehicles. "When I deliver over here, I try to get in and get out really quick. And they seem to be gathering together right now, so I'm always in a hurry in this area," FedEx driver Javan Nicholson said.

The conservative law firm Wisconsin Institute for Law and Liberty has asked the Elmbrook School District to remove sexually explicit materials from its online library. In its letter to Elmbrook School District Superintendent Mark Hansen, the firm requested the removal after the parent of a 16-year-old Elmbrook student used the student's school-issued Chromebook to access a school-sponsored app, Sora, that makes the district's ebook and audiobook collection available to students and adults. The parent confirmed access to the sexually explicit material, the letter said. WILL said there is material containing graphic instructions on sex acts and the use of online...

After weeks of deliberation and a yearlong effort by students and alumni of the district to address concerns related to equity and inclusion, the Elmbrook School Board decided June 8 to leave the proposed equity principles out of its upcoming strategy plan. Discussions related to equity work within the school district will continue during the 2021-2022 school year.

MADISON, Wis. - The Wisconsin Supreme Court ruled on Wednesday, April 14 against the Evers' administration capacity limits. The court ruled the order had to go through the state's rule-making process which includes legislative overnight.

A closer look at the past month of COVID-19 deaths from the Milwaukee County Medical Examiner's Office reveals that the virus is killing only elderly people and/or people with serious underlying health conditions. The Milwaukee County Medical Examiner's Office is one of the only in Wisconsin (and perhaps the only) that maintains a comprehensive, publicly available list of the county's deaths and "The Dan O'Donnell Show" used it to create a composite of the "average" COVID-19 death during Wisconsin's current October surge in cases. The average person who died with COVID-19 in October is 75.9 years old with 2.39 comorbidities...

Rates of new confirmed COVID-19 cases didn't increase in Wisconsin compared to the rest of the country after the April 7 election, though some individual cases could be tied to voting, a new study says. The study, released Friday by doctors in Milwaukee and Florida and a mathematician in Alabama, has been submitted for publication in a scientific journal but not published yet, meaning it hasn't undergone peer review. Such "preprint" studies have become more widespread during COVID-19, causing some controversy because the findings haven't been vetted as much as usual. About 450,000 state residents voted in person April 7,...
