An 85-year-old Kenosha philanthropist, Grace Kolakowski, established an endowment through the Kenosha Community Foundation to strengthen the financial future of the Kenosha Symphony.
The discussion was featured on the WGTD Morning Show with host Gregory Berg.
🏛️ Government
State transportation officials announced a 1.8-mile section of WIS 158 on 52nd Street will be closed for improvements beginning Monday, April 14; work will continue until late summer—resurfacing pavement, upgrading signals at two intersections, and replacing a culvert—while local access is maintained.
Assistant District Attorney Paul Lasswell was fired last week after reports of bad behavior in and out of court — including leaving court early and sending an angry email to a defense lawyer that led to his dismissal from the District Attorney’s Office.
The office said it cannot share more details because of privacy rules.
