Wisconsin Rapids Mayor Matt Zacher updates on city happenings. A hot topic is the controversial decision against a roundabout at Griffith and 8th Street, despite frequent accidents and costly traffic light repairs. Instead, the city plans to keep traffic light systems due to state decisions. Meanwhile, the city has ended 'No-Mow May' due to abuse and community upkeep concerns. On a brighter note, preparations for the newly named Rapids Riverside Freedom Fest are underway, with efforts to fundraise for fireworks amidst budget constraints. Guests: Melissa Kaye, Matt Zacher
