1. Milwaukee County is out with a new flood update. Here's what we know now, since the historic flooding on August 9th, emergency response teams and volunteers have assessed nearly 35-hundred properties in the county. More than 50 percent of the inspected properties are considered "destroyed" or having "major damage." Meanwhile, Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley says cities are still evaluating the impact on public infrastructure. Preliminary damage estimates exceed 34-million dollars. Crowley says FEMA could arrive as early as Thursday to do its own assessment. That's part of the process to determine whether our damage meets the requirements for a Presidential disaster declaration.

2. A Los Angeles woman, who prosecutors call the "Ketamine Queen", will plead guilty to federal charges in connection with the death of actor Matthew Perry. She's the last of nearly half a dozen people to take a plea deal in the "Friends" star's deadly overdose. After months of denials, Jasveen Sangha will admit she sold the drugs that killed Perry. She could face up to 45 years in prison. Perry died at his Los Angeles home in October 2023, hours after he was injected by his personal assistant. That assistant, Kenneth Iwamasa, has already agreed to plead guilty.

3. The National Retail Federation says families are projected to spend an average of $858 on all the back-to-school essentials. Retail experts say you may want to wait to buy new clothes. She also suggests buying store brands, instead of the more expensive name brands, and looking at refurbished electronics to save some money.
