N. WISCONSIN - Tom Tiffany representative for Northern Wisconsin and Republican candidate for Governor comments on the disappearance of Morgan Geyser blaming her escape on weak judges, who refuse to hold criminals accountable.

Not surprised at all. This is the cost of weak judges who refuse to hold criminals accountable. Stay safe and stay alert, Wisconsin.

Morgan Geyser, who at age 12 stabbed her classmate 19 times in a 2014 attack influenced by the fictional character Slender Man, has spent the last seven years at the Winnebago Mental Health Institute. She was sentenced to 40 years in a psychiatric hospital for the attempted murder. In July, Waukesha County Circuit Judge Scott Wagner approved a conditional release plan allowing her to leave the institute and move to a group home.

Anyone who sees Geyser is asked to contact 911 immediately.

IRONWOOD - The Friends of the Gogebic County Fair Board Appointed Chairman Jim Gribble and Secretary Lori Bennetts as Fair Board representatives to the Gogebic and Iron County Horse Council Advisory Board. The appointment of a representative to the Gogebic County 4-H Council Advisory Board was postponed until pending background checks could be completed. The board tabled a proposal to change the open horse show age division date from Jan. 1 to Aug. 1, which 4-H coordinator Ashley Dennis warned could confuse families. Other discussions included adding advertisements to the 2026 Premium Book, financial matters, and logistics, noting the petting zoo company used last year now offers bounce houses and dunk tanks as well, and potential 2026 fair updates.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Trump administration is steaming forward on its plan to dismantle the Education Department. Many state and local education leaders say they are bracing for disruption and new bureaucratic hurdles. Education Secretary Linda McMahon insists there will be no disruption as she begins offloading some of her agency’s biggest functions to four other federal departments. She has promised to keep federal money flowing. She says students will benefit as the government reduces its bureaucratic footprint and gives more power to state and local communities. But the plan has drawn pushback from some state and district leaders, who see no benefit and no hope for a seamless transition.
