1. The conversation over red light cameras revs up! Milwaukee Mayor Cavalier Johnson is teaming up with Senator Dora Drake today to highlight tomorrow's big hearing on authorizing the use of cameras to enforce traffic violations. The mayor is in favor of adding red light and speed cameras to the city. They're currently prohibited under state law, but that could change. Tomorrow's public hearing is at 11am at the Summerfest building. If you look around the country, many of our neighboring states use cameras. Minnesota has speed cameras. Iowa and Illinois have both speed cameras and red light cameras. Michigan is like Wisconsin right now, using neither.
2. The Crew goes for Two! The Brewers aim to take a commanding 2-0 series lead over the Cubs in the NLDS. Pat Murphy selects lefty reliever Aaron Ashby to start the game...how long Ashby goes and who pitches second are the BIG questions. The status of outfielder Jackson Chourio for tonight's game is unclear. Chourio suffered a hamstring strain during the second inning of Saturday's game after legging out an infield single. Chourio did some light running during Sunday's team workout. First pitch for tonight's game is scheduled for 8:08.
3. Beef, it’s not for dinner! At least that's what more people are saying these days. The traditional staple of the American dinner table has never been more expensive. In fact, beef prices have shot up more than 14 percent in the past year. Shoppers have now started looking for alternatives, like chicken.
