Wausau

You'll hear it starting at 6.30 on WSAU.

Wausau's City Council has voted to cancel its contract with Flock cameras.

Existing cameras in the city will be covered.

Alder Carol Lukin says if the headlines about Flock had been out there at the start of the contract, the city would not have used the cameras in the first place.

What has happened with flock that wasn't on anyone's radar so.

You know, had I known then what I know now, there's no way I would have voted for it.

Wausau PD has argued that the flock cameras were a useful law enforcement tool.

A jury delivered a split verdict in the trial of 18-year-old Javarius Hurd.

who's running against a political newcomer named Dylan Pfaffenbach, Bukiewicz, I think has a pretty good chance of flipping that seat.

So moving north to the central and northeast areas of the state, including the Fox Valley, Green Bay, and Wausau areas, what's going on there, starting with Fox Valley?

One of the closest races on the map in 2024 decided by just a few hundred votes in Assembly District 53.

That was in the Nina Menasha area in the Fox Valley.

Republican incumbent Ben Franklin is running against Brandy Tollefson, and that's a Brown County area.

De Pere is, I believe, the biggest city there.

In the Wausau area, that's an interesting one.

That's the one district in the state, Assembly District 85, that was won by both Donald Trump and Tammy Baldwin in 2024.

Out in February of next year, let's go to Mary
