📰 News we're reading
1. Superior mayor makes case for takeover of Wisconsin's only private water utility (greatlakesnow.org) — Superior residents may soon vote on whether the city should buy Superior Water, Light & Power’s water utility, which Mayor Jim Paine argues would lower rates and public borrowing costs. The potential takeover, now backed by an independent city study, would be decided through a referendum at a regular election, while the utility and a local coalition question the true purchase price. 
2. No day is the same for honored Superior AmeriCorps member (superiortelegram.com) — An AmeriCorps member based in Superior has been named one of Wisconsin’s Members of the Year for her work with the Lake Superior National Estuarine Research Reserve. She’s helped restore Wisconsin Point, organized birding programs, and coordinated major cleanup efforts, even after federal funding cuts nearly ended her position. Applications are now open for someone new to continue this work in Superior.
3. Photos: Almost alone on the point (superiortelegram.com) — Wisconsin Point in Superior was nearly empty on Wednesday morning, offering quiet views of Superior Bay, Lake Superior, and a surprising variety of birds. A local photographer captured trumpeter swans, a juvenile bald eagle, and other wildlife, along with small traces of human visitors. The photos highlight how peaceful and wild this shoreline spot can feel even close to town.
4. Businesses gather signatures opposing Line 5 tunnel following Bad River drilling fluid spill (iosconews.com) — A regional business coalition is rallying signatures to oppose Enbridge’s proposed Line 5 tunnel, a project tied to the pipeline that begins in Superior and runs to Ontario. Their push follows a drilling fluid spill in Wisconsin and long-running tribal and environmental concerns, while other business groups publicly back the tunnel and key permits remain under review.
