Four Out of Five Wisconsinites Wanted Surplus Deal to Pass; Kenosha-Area Lawmakers and Candidates Explain Why They Supported or Opposed It
KENOSHA, Wis. — A recent Marquette University Law School poll found that 80% of Wisconsin adults believed the Legislature should have approved a bipartisan surplus deal that ultimately failed in the State Senate. The proposal would have returned hundreds of millions of dollars to taxpayers through rebate checks, provided property tax relief, increased special education funding, and eliminated state income taxes on tips and overtime pay. In the wake of the bill’s defeat, Kenosha County Eye asked local legislators and legislative candidates a series of questions: Why did they vote the way they did? Do they still believe it was the correct decision after seeing the public polling? If they opposed the package, what should be done with the surplus instead?

County Committee Kills Pride Resolution After KUSD Board Unanimously Approves LGBTQ+ Measure
KENOSHA, Wis. — Days after the Kenosha Unified School Board unanimously approved a symbolic LGBTQ+ Pride Month resolution on May 27, a Kenosha County Board committee rejected a similar measure after a tie vote on June 2, exposing a sharp divide among local elected officials over whether government bodies should take official positions on sexuality, gender identity and Pride Month.

Sheriff Zoerner Expected To Skip Kenosha County Eye Forum After Reports Surface Day Before Event
KENOSHA, Wis. — Just one day before the Republican sheriff’s forum hosted by Kenosha County Eye, multiple sources have told the news outlet that Sheriff David Zoerner has been privately informing supporters that he does not intend to attend Thursday night’s event at The Stella Hotel & Ballroom. As of Wednesday afternoon, Zoerner had not publicly announced his plans and had not responded to multiple calls, texts and emails seeking confirmation. The anticipated absence has created logistical challenges for organizers and moderator Brian Filiatreault, who has spent weeks preparing questions designed for all three Republican candidates. Because the forum was structured around a three-candidate format, an alternate set of questions will now need to be developed on short notice if Zoerner ultimately declines to participate.

June is Men’s Mental Health Month
Every year, thousands of Americans die by suicide. In the United States, men account for nearly 80% of those deaths. That’s about 107 men every day, 749 every week, more than 3,200 every month, and one man every 13 minutes. These aren’t random numbers. They’re real people—fathers, brothers, sons, husbands, and friends. A lot of men deal with things quietly. They keep moving forward. They don’t talk about it. They don’t ask for help. They keep their minds in a state of sedation, sometimes until it’s too late. Real strength isn’t pretending nothing is wrong. It’s not handling everything alone. “The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” — Psalm 34:18 Iron sharpens iron. This June, take the time to sharpen the iron
