Good morning.
Our week begins with sunny skies and mild temperatures, with a Monday high of forty-nine.
Tonight at 6 PM, the Planning Commission meets; at 7 PM there will be a joint meeting of the Planning Commission and Common Council for a public hearing of proposed residential zoning code changes from the Zoning Rewrite project.
From Fox News comes the story of a pug that wandered through a police line, only to challenge officers and a K9 engaged in a standoff at a nearby house. After the confrontation, the pug executes a tactical retreat.
For more about the encounter, see Fox News Insider.
On this day in 1854, an act of oppression later falls to a victory for liberty in Racine:
1854 – Glover’s Capture
On this date, Joshua Glover, a slave from Missouri, was captured by federal agents in Racine. Abolitionists led by Sherman Booth stormed the Milwaukee jail where he was held and got him safely to Canada through the Underground Railroad. [Source: Badger Saints and Sinners by Fred L.
