Here's your local news at a glance for Tuesday, the 28th of October.
Good morning, Wausau.
🏘️ Community
Nearly 100 veterans departed Mosinee Monday morning on the Never Forgotten Honor Flight to Washington, D.C.—they are set to visit memorials honoring World War II, Korea, and Vietnam after a pre-flight dinner at the Hilton Garden Inn.
The flight is named for Arthur B. Riiser and was sponsored by a $70,000 donation from his son Thomas, marking 15 years of service for the program before a community welcome awaits their return.
🏛️ Government
The city of Wausau opened a new trail at its business campus that links Sunny Vale Park with trails at 72nd Avenue—providing a safer route for walkers and workers.
The project started during the pandemic but was delayed until a 2024 DOT funding match revived the plan.
Wisconsin FoodShare recipients can use remaining funds on their QUEST card to buy food throughout November after an Oct.
25 announcement from the Department of Health Services—this revised guidance contradicts an earlier memo urging users to stock up before the end of October. Details on additional changes will follow as officials monitor the impact of federal funding issues.
🏥 Health
Health insurance premiums for 2026 will rise as ACA tax breaks end unless Congress acts—some families may see their costs more than triple.
A Marathon County resident said his family's premiums could jump from $9,000 to about $28,000 a year.
