Let's head, Telly, to Milwaukee City Hall for this next story.

It is budget season, and a lot of tough decisions are gonna have to be made over the next several weeks, both in the City of Milwaukee, Milwaukee County as well.

Literally billions of dollars on the line, and decisions will be made very soon on that money.

Uh, by the way, uh, lots of decisions still to be made on the budget.

We're not expecting any final votes until at least the early month, part of the month of November.

But a lot of time to still make decisions, and, uh, we'll see if any of the alders were moved by Lord Sauron making a cameo appearance at Milwaukee City Hall last night.

The first year, he kind of went around the city explaining it to business improvement districts and different business leaders around Milwaukee trying to demonstrate that this is a great idea.

And the first year we had 80 sites open, including Milwaukee City Hall, some of our tallest buildings downtown, a lot of historic churches.

And 10,000 people came out to tour that first year.

So it was immediately very successful and has continued to grow over time.

So you can learn a lot about the history of that space, but kind of how the neighborhood has changed over time as well.

That is on my wish list.

I also put Milwaukee City Hall as one of my places I would really love to see, you know, the 353-foot bell tower.

What can you tell us about City Hall and seeing this building?

Thanks, Adam.

Sound there from Milwaukee City Hall on September 11th, 2026, 25 years removed from those fateful attacks in 2001 in New York City, Washington, and in a farm field in Shanksville, Pennsylvania.

I wanted to bring in WTMJ's Neil Doyle, who was at City Hall for the proceedings this week.

Neil, you and I have now both had our hand in reporting on 9-11 annual memorials.
