📰 News we're reading

• Circuit court decision on Lake Michigan shoreline access expected by Sept. 4 (wxpr.org) — A Shorewood resident's fight over public access to Lake Michigan's shoreline near Atwater Beach is now in Milwaukee County Circuit Court, with a ruling expected by September 4. He's challenging a ticket for walking along what the village considers private property, arguing the beach below the high-water mark belongs to everyone. The judge's decision could shape how freely Shorewood residents enjoy their own lakefront.
