GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — The most frequently stolen street sign in Green Bay isn’t Lombardi Avenue, Reggie White Way or Brett Favre Pass.
The distinction goes to a short street on the city’s southwest side. Its name brings to mind the helmet-style haircut of the 1980s. The cut perhaps best personified by country music singer [...]

A Pound family’s change of heart could force the northern Wisconsin town to return a $500,000 state grant for a road extension project.

“It’s silly to think that 99 percent of the people that use a car to get to work or the store are going to give that up because a [...]

The Dane County Regional Transit Authority will hold a referendum on a half-cent sales tax increase to generate cash for projects, but it won’t say when.
