Waukesha

While housing affordability is a nationwide concern, the issue is particularly bad in Waukesha County. The Wisconsin Policy Forum reveals why in a new report.

The City of Waukesha could start breaking ground on a short, but critical stretch of water pipeline in just a matter of weeks, thanks to a Milwaukee County Board of Supervisors decision Thursday afternoon.

Waukesha is under court order to begin diverting Lake Michigan water as the city's drinking water source by next September. Waukesha says in order to make that happen, it needs to lay a small bit of the pipeline on Milwaukee County parkland.

Two weeks after overseeing the Waukesha parade deaths trial, Waukesha County Judge Jennifer Dorow appears ready to try to move up and is expected to enter the State Supreme Court contest.

Day two of sentencing is planned after numerous parade case victims spoke to the court on Tuesday.

If Darrell Brooks appeals to the 76 convictions, one issue may be whether he tries to represent himself again or seeks a public defender.

Darrell Brooks was convicted Wednesday of killing six people and injuring dozens of others when he drove his SUV through a Christmas parade last year, ending a trial in which he defended himself erratically and sometimes confrontationally.

Twelve jurors are asked to issue verdicts on 76 charges against defendant Darrell Brooks.

Defendant Darrell Brooks and Judge Jennifer Dorow continue their disagreements during trial.

Defendant Darrell Brooks was often tearful during the opening statement, saying the parade incident was "not intentional."
