Man Accused Of Putting 4-Year-Old In Dryer
Apr 18th
A Milwaukee man faces felony child abuse charges after a 4-year-old girl told her mother he had put her in the dryer and turned it on because she had peed her pants. The girl’s mother heard her threaten to put her brother in the dryer and started asking questions. The girl said Nicholas Fuchs, 26, had done it more than once. She told investigators that “it was very dark and warm inside the dryer and this made (her) scared.”
As if that story weren’t heartbreaking enough, the little girl called the man “Mean Nick,” and that isn’t the only incident of abuse, police say.
Milwaukee officials push for more transparency
Apr 11th
7 Milwaukee Police officers and a sergeant face accusations of conducting illegal strip searches. Some city officials are pushing to have that investigation conducted in public, and they were to propose that public investigation on Wednesday at 9:00 a.m. at a Common Council meeting.
The goal is to bring transparency to the investigation into alleged illegal strip searches. “My illegal searches happened at least three times,” said a 22-year-old woman, who claims a police officer strip-searched her.
Bankruptcy judge reviews Milwaukee archdiocese case
Apr 5th
A bankruptcy judge will hold a hearing today on a request to disclose evidence that would expose the scope of previous sex abuse by Catholic priests in the Milwaukee archdiocese.
Judge Susan Kelley is being asked to unseal a court deposition made several years ago by former Archbishop Rembert Weakland. It apparently identifies the offending priests and the children they molested over the last few decades. And attorney Jeff Anderson says it would demonstrate the church’s liability as the judge considers damage claims by about 570 victims of priest sex abuse. The claims were filed as part of the Milwaukee Archdiocese Chapter-11 bankruptcy case.
Talgo announces layoffs at Milwaukee facility
Apr 4th
The company was supposed to create more than 100 jobs in Milwaukee, but now, Talgo train manufacturer has announced it will be laying off dozens of employees. Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett is blaming Governor Scott Walker and Republican lawmakers for the layoffs.
Whether Gary Pavloski and others will have a job at Talgo going forward was uncertain Wednesday morning, April 4th, after the Spanish trainmaker sent a letter to its union notifying it will begin layoffs of 35 employees at its facility in the city’s north side as early as this summer. “I’ve worked at this plant for 30 years. I worked for A.O. Smith and Teller Automotive. It’s unfortunate, that so many people in the inner city need jobs,” Pavloski said.

Ellis scores 33 points as Milwaukee Bucks
Mar 28th
Milwaukee coach Scott Skiles knew Monta Ellis would eventually start putting up the big numbers he became known for with Golden State.
“You know when you make a move like that to get a significant player, there has got to be some period of time where you have got to allow for the guy to adjust and people to adjust to him,” Skiles said before Tuesday night’s game against the Atlanta Hawks. “It wouldn’t surprise me at all for him to have a big breakout game at any moment.”
Maps for 2 voting districts must be redrawn
Mar 22nd
A federal court ruling puts a hold on new voter maps drawn up by a Republican-controlled Legislature last year. Those maps were to be put in place for upcoming elections, but a judicial panel Thursday said there are problems with the maps on Milwaukee’s near south side.
Thursday’s decision is the result of a court challenge to the new maps, heard by federal judges last month. Now, both sides are declaring a victory, of sorts.
