📰 News we're reading

• Post From Community: Wauwatosa's nicest day: The TOSA Locally Made Fall Pop-Up Market (milwaukeenns.org) — Wauwatosa neighbors can look forward to the TOSA Locally Made Fall Pop-Up Market returning Saturday, Oct. 3, 2026, at The Landing at Hoyt Park & Pool. More than 30 Wisconsin artists and small businesses will sell handmade goods, while families enjoy the beer garden, kids' craft activities, and a dog-friendly, free-to-attend community gathering right in the heart of town.
   

• Milwaukee police shooting, suspect killed identified (fox6now.com) — A Milwaukee police chase tied to a Glendale shots-fired case ended Tuesday with a 23-year-old suspect killed and an officer injured, and Wauwatosa Police are now leading the regional investigation. For Wauwatosa residents, that means your department will oversee evidence review and forthcoming body-camera video, expected to be released within 15 days under standard procedures.
   

• How a fight to save Wisconsin's Black babies keeps hitting a dead end (captimes.com) — Wisconsin lawmakers, including Rep. Margaret Arney of Wauwatosa, are pushing unsuccessfully for legislation to address the state's high Black infant mortality rate, drawing on their own difficult pregnancy and birth experiences. Their Birth Equity Act package would expand Medicaid-covered services like doulas, dental care, and postpartum home visits, but Republican leaders have repeatedly declined to hold hearings, leaving racial health disparities largely unaddressed.
