Milwaukee is building a massive toxic waste storage facility in Lake Michigan, just south of the Summerfest grounds, to store toxic PCB sediment.
For @journalsentinel, @caitlooby and I visited the site to speak with project managers about how it will help heal local waterways.
A BIG congratulations to Deborah Barfield Berry, our Capital News Service Annapolis bureau chief and a #merrillmade Hall of Famer, for being named a finalist for two 2026 NABJ Salute to Excellence Awards!

She's also a finalist in the News: Single Story category for "Notice a theme to Trump’s planned takeovers of cities? These Black mayors do." #fearlessjournalism

Deeply Honored to be named the 2026 National Association of Black Journalists (@NABJ) Journalist of the Year.
