Three people have been charged with robbery and recklessly endangering safety after they duped an Oak Creek man into handing over $300 for a phone and then drove off while he clung to their accelerating car, a criminal complaint says.

Wauwatosa police spotted the car not long afterward and arrested the three suspects. Charged last week in Milwaukee…

One bid for gear means savings for taxpayers.
After hauling heavy hoses, crawling through wired boxes and swinging sledgehammers, the Tess Corners Fire Department and 21 other fire departments have agreed to purchase the same brand of new gear, getting a better deal and filtering those savings into taxpayers' pockets. Four firefighters, one each from Wauwatosa, Waukesha, Racine and the North Shore Fire Department (NSFD), were chosen as testers in a unique program where 22 area fire departments hoped to pool their resources to purchase new "turnouts" — the special coats and pants firefighters wear — and save a few bucks by buying in bulk.

Waukesha wants to buy water from Milwaukee, Oak Creek or Racine to meet its needs.
Now the the City of Waukesha has turned in its application to purchase water from Racine, Oak Creek or Milwaukee, the state Department of Natural Resources has scheduled public hearings for the request. Three hearings are scheduled for the last week in July; in Pewaukee on July 26, in Wauwatosa and Sturtevant on July 28. According to a story in the Milwaukee Business Journal, Waukesha has radium contamination during heavy use that makes the water not meet federal standards. Before Waukesha can move forward with its purchasing plan, the city's application must be approved by the Council of Great Lakes Governors, which includes the governors of eight states plus the leaders of Ontario and Quebec.
