Thu, 05/07/2015 - 7:15am
MILWAUKEE -- Another big push to fill the city of Milwaukee's potholes. The city has been filling potholes for more than two months now, but our roads are still riddled with them. Today, a super crew made up of seven to eight Department of Public Works staff members, will work fast on a long stretch of road, filling several potholes along the way. They will kick off around 8:15 a.m. near S. 14th Street and W. Grange Avenue. Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett and Alderman Terry Witkowski will also be filling potholes with the super crew. If you spot a pothole that needs some immediate attention, you can easily report it to the city through an app called MKE Mobile. Just pull it up on your phone, put in your location, attach a picture and then send it off. You can also call 286-CITY (2489).

Thu, 05/07/2015 - 6:59am
Marching for peace. Dontre Hamilton's mother is boarding a bus to Washington, D.C. Thursday morning. She will spend Mother's Day with other moms who have lost their children. Former Milwaukee police officer Christopher Manney shot and killed her son in Red Arrow Park last year. While she is there, she will participate in the Million Mom March. The original march was a push for gun control. Maria Hamilton will now join other moms for a new march for those who have lost their children during police encounters. Organizers say they're marching for those killed by police and those killed by "racist violence." Hamilton said her goal is to have the Department of Justice reopen police shooting cases around the country and investigate the officers involved without "bias." Maria also plans to meet with Congresswoman Gwen Moore's staff and the White House staff during her trip.
