Records show one of the missing Milwaukee students was 15-year-old Erik J. Mendoza. Mendoza was charged with first-degree intentional homicide in the Oct. 25 beating death of 5-year-old Prince McCree. McCree’s body was found in a dumpster after being reported missing by his mother the day before.

Mendoza hasn't attended school since Fall 2019, when he would have been about 12 years old.

Mendoza is also accused of committing three random, nonfatal stabbings of strangers he encountered on the street in Milwaukee, two days before Prince was killed.

Vehicle manufacturer KIA will be at the Mayfair Mall Friday (tomorrow), Saturday, and Sunday (October 20-22) from 8 am to 6 pm installing FREE anti-theft software in KIA vehicles to help prevent car thefts and to combat reckless driving.

No appointments are necessary, and the software installation should take about 30 minutes.

KIA will also provide steering wheel locks for KIA vehicles that are not eligible for the software upgrades. The link below can be used to check your cars availability for a software upgrade or a steering wheel lock.

The software upgrades include longer-sounding alarm, and a slight change to the ignition to make these KIA model vehicles harder to steal. KIA vehicles that are eligible for this upgrade are models made before 2021.

"This pre-Roe statute says nothing about abortion—there is no such thing as an '1849 Abortion Ban' in Wisconsin," Dane County Circuit Court Judge Diane Schlipper wrote in her July ruling that rejected a motion filed by a county district attorney to dismiss the case.

Because roundabout traffic only travels in one direction, the possibilities of head-on collisions and left turn-related crashes are virtually eliminated, Qin said. These are two of the most severe and deadly types of collisions.

Additionally, the circular design of roundabouts is intended to slow drivers to speeds where crashes are far less severe.

Roundabouts don't only offer safety benefits. They're also better for the environment, make traffic more efficient and ultimately cost less to maintain than other intersection types, Qin said.

Roundabouts also cost less to maintain than other intersection types because they do not use traffic lights or electricity.

Milwaukee definitely needs more roundabouts to help combat reckless driving.

In 2017, Trahan bought Stone Manor, the largest estate in Lake Geneva, for $16 million.

"I can’t tell you how many people were like, ‘Oh, look at all this supply, look at all these just brand new buildings,’ and kind of scoffing at it like this was going to lead to gentrification or rents skyrocketing,” said Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, a two-term Democrat, in an interview. “The exact opposite has happened.”

This is one of those "well duh" moments... Obviously more supply leads to lower prices. This is Economics 101!
