Here's your local news at a glance for Friday, the 1st of August.
Good morning, Janesville.
🏛️ Government
On Thursday, GOP Rep. Bryan Steil faced a rowdy crowd at a Wisconsin town hall that repeatedly interrupted his remarks on tariffs, immigration and the Gaza conflict—audience members demanded he clarify his stance on these issues.
In a separate meeting, Rep. Mark Pocan held his own town hall to criticize GOP policy and question Rep. Derrick Van Orden's absence from local outreach.
🏈 Sports
Beloit College signed an agreement for its men’s and women’s hockey teams to practice and play games at Janesville’s Woodman’s Sports and Convention Center during the 2025-26 season (the new facility will host home events).
The move is expected to boost local sports offerings (city officials say it enhances the center’s role as a regional destination).
