📰 News we're reading
• Wood County election results (wrcitytimes.com) — Nekoosa residents just approved a school district referendum to exceed revenue limits for operational expenses and program improvements, passing 1,005-603. The same countywide election also reshaped leadership in Wisconsin Rapids, Marshfield, and Wood County government, but the Nekoosa decision most directly affects your schools’ funding and future offerings.
