How did the housing market reach crisis mode, and where do we go from here?

The Badger State Housing Alliance is taking on that question in its November Curds of Wisdom session, a free lunchtime webinar series on creating and preserving housing across Wisconsin.

Mike Ruzicka, president of the Greater Milwaukee Association of Realtors, will walk through how the real estate market changed from the early 2000s to today, and why the Great Recession was a turning point. Then the conversation turns to what could be done to drive change. Bring your ideas to share.

🏆 Coolest Election Day stickers in Wisconsin? The City of West Allis thinks they've got the competition beat!

And we have to admit, these are pretty great. From clever slogans to colorful designs, West Allis is bringing some serious creativity to the polls this Election Day.

But we're curious… Can any other Wisconsin community top these? 👀

Municipal clerks and election teams, show us what you've got! Share your community's "I Voted" stickers in the comments. We'd love to see how you're adding a little fun to Election Day!

It’s Election Day in Wisconsin.

As voters across the state head to the polls today, we want to recognize the municipal clerks and election workers who make it all possible.

Your work on this election started months ago: training volunteers, mailing absentee ballots, staffing in-person absentee voting, answering voter questions, and testing equipment. Today is a long one, from setup before polls open to the last count after they close. And the canvass is still ahead.

Thank you for the time, care, and commitment you bring to this responsibility in your communities. We see you, clerks, and we appreciate you. 🗳️

Cities and villages are making tough choices as they plan their 2027 budgets. Since 2001, total state funding to municipalities has lost nearly 30% of its purchasing power. Cuts, stagnation, and slow growth in state aids have failed to keep pace with rising costs. 2023 Act 12 started turning the tide, but we are still playing catch-up. The critical services communities, residents, and businesses count on depend on getting this right!
