(The Center Square) – Wisconsin’s measles outbreak continues to grow. The state’s Department of Health Services updated its measles count recently. "As of September 25, 2026, the Wisconsin Department of Health Services has confirmed 192 cases of measles in Wisconsin so far in 2026," DHS said in a statement. Most of Wisconsin's measles cases remain centered in the southwestern corner of the state. "There have been 180 confirmed and six probable cases in the outbreak in Grant, Iowa, Lafayette, and Vernon Counties," DHS said in a statement. "The ongoing investigation indicates that measles is spreading locally. DHS, in coordination with Grant, Iowa, Lafayette, and Vernon County Health Departments, are working to identify and notify people who may have been exposed to the measles virus." But DHS has also confirmed measles cases in Marathon County and Chippewa County. The state said those cases are all tied to out-of-state travel, but they are not saying where the people traveled to or from. Not everyone who has been confirmed to have the measles has been sick, however. "Not everyone gets tested, needs medical care, or contacts public health agencies," DHS explained. "Public health agencies continue to monitor reports of illness, conduct enhanced surveillance in outbreak areas, and work closely with health care and community health partners. Additionally, public health agencies continue working to help people protect themselves and prevent additional measles cases by providing access to vaccines and monitoring for any potential public exposures to measles." DHS's best advice, the agency said, is for people to get vaccinated against the measles. DHS said one in four people who will test positive for the measles is unvaccinated. The CDC last week said it has confirmed 3,659 measles cases in 47 state states or jurisdictions across the county. The CDC said there have been 40 new measles outbreaks this year. But no one either in Washington, D.C. or Madison is saying where the outbreaks are coming from, or who has gotten sick.

(The Center Square) – Labor leaders in Chicago are backing plans to create a new Amtrak maintenance facility on the city’s South Side, despite controversy and local uproar over the project. The Chicago Federation of Labor last week announced alongside Amtrak officials that it supports the $900 million facility proposed for an existing rail yard near Bridgeport, citing the job creation and impact the project will have on Bridgeport and the surrounding area. CFL President Bob Reiter said there is still value in hearing community concerns, even if the labor organization is putting their support behind the project. “Chicago should not have to choose between protecting its neighborhoods, supporting working people, and building a stronger transportation system,” Reiter said. Community residents are concerned about other impacts the project will have, such as the immediate environment and on the residents who live closest to the currently seldom-used rail yard. Alderman Nicole Lee of Chicago’s 11th Ward introduced a resolution in Wednesday’s City Council meeting – supported by 36 aldermen – calling for an environmental review of the project and more, which residents and community groups have been critical of. Peter Polacek from the clerk’s office described Lee’s measure. “Lee and others have proposed a resolution to call for hearings on Amtrak Midwest maintenance facility site selection, alternatives, federal environmental review, and possible effects on nearby communities and shared rail operations, which is referred to the Committee on Transportation and Public Way,” Polacek said. Hannah Dembosky, founder of community group Bridgeport Environmentalists, said it was “suspicious” for the current presidential administration to be using tactists to bypass environmental oversight. “The project got the categorical exclusion from federal environmental review, which is what they're kind of holding over us to say, you know, ‘oh we don't need to do more.’ The Trump administration has very publicly announced what they're calling their categorical exclusion first approach,” Dembosky said.. “They're basically giving as many projects as physically possible categorical exclusions from environmental review.” Hundreds of residents, multiple schools and other community spaces sit just feet away from the proposed site, which Dembosky said could present serious risks to the public. The community is also more widely concerned about the involvement of billionaire and future White Sox owner Justin Ishbia in the Amtrak project, with his firm hired for the redevelopment project, while also eyeing Amtrak’s currency yard as a potential location for a new stadium. The Sox are contracted with the state-owned Rate Field through 2029, with the option to renew for one year. In the meantime, Ishbia has his eyes set constructing a new development for the team to call home.
