Popular Kenosha Tavern Destroyed in Overnight Blaze

Gateway Presidential Search Raises Questions About Board Judgment, Trustee Vetting
KENOSHA, Wis. — Somebody who sits on a board making multi-million-dollar decisions should probably have a clean track record, right? What if one of those board members was found to have allegedly falsified travel reimbursement records for personal financial gain? What if that person was actually the treasurer of said board? Those questions are again being raised as Gateway Technical College moves forward with its search for a permanent president. Gateway recently announced four finalists for the position after former President Ritu Raju left the college following widespread criticism from faculty and staff. In March 2024, Kenosha County Eye reported on internal survey results showing abysmal morale and deep dissatisfaction with Raju’s leadership. Now, some community members are questioning whether the Gateway College Board itself is part of the problem.

Kenosha County Democratic Party Faces Questions Over Far-Left Candidate Litmus Tests
KENOSHA, Wis. — Critics say the Kenosha County Democratic Party has moved well beyond traditional Democratic politics and increasingly expects local candidates to embrace a long list of progressive activist positions in order to receive support, endorsements, volunteers, and access to party resources. For local offices such as county board supervisor, school board, village trustee, city council, or town board, voters might reasonably expect Democratic Party questionnaires to ask about road funding, taxes, economic development, labor unions, public schools, zoning, public safety, and local government spending. Instead, critics say the questionnaires given to candidates during the 2024 cycle and again heading into 2026 asked about issues that local officials will never have the authority to decide. Rather than focusing on roads, budgets, parks, school performance, infrastructure, and economic growth, the

Somers Fire Referendum Crushed by Voters; Liberal Village President George Stoner (D) Erupts After 20-Point Loss
SOMERS, Wis. — Somers voters overwhelmingly rejected the village’s fire department referendum Tuesday night, dealing a major political loss to liberal Village President George Stoner (D), the Somers Fire Union and village officials who aggressively campaigned for the tax increase. Unofficial results show 1,417 voters opposed the referendum, while 920 supported it. The measure failed by roughly 20 percentage points. The referendum would have permanently increased the village’s property tax levy by $1.3 million to hire eight additional firefighter-paramedics. Village officials said the money was needed because the department responded to a record 1,778 calls in 2025 and experienced 728 overlapping calls for service. Officials also said current staffing only guarantees two ambulances can be staffed at one time. The proposal would have added about $115 annually in taxes for
