3. Commission Endorses Milwaukee Data Center Moratorium After Fiery Hearing (urbanmilwaukee.com) — Milwaukee officials just took a major step toward a one-year pause on new data centers, with a city commission unanimously endorsing a moratorium after a heated public hearing.

4.

'A step in the right direction': Milwaukee resident reacts to city's proposed flood emergency plan (tmj4.com) — Milwaukee's Public Works Committee has advanced a plan to create a formal flood-prevention protocol, aiming to tackle chronic flooding at known hotspots across the city before storms hit.
