Good morning, Whitewater
There are two municipal public meetings scheduled in the city today. At 11:30 a.m., U.S. Representative Tammy Baldwin will hold a listening session at the Municipal Building’s Community Room. Later at, 4 p.m., there will be a public information meeting on the Moraine View Park master plan held at the municipal building.
The National Weather Service predicts that today will be have a 30% chance of thunderstorms with a high of 67 degrees.

I have yet to see them define days as hesitant, moody, or perplexed. The year’s not over, so there’s time.
In our schools, there will be a 2:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m. 5th Grade band concert at Washington School.
The Wisconsin Historical Society reports that on this date in 1848, Wisconsin entered the Union, becoming America’s 30th state. At the time of our admission, we apparently comprised about 1/56 of the land area of the United States.
