Kewaskum is considering an advisory to keep its citizens from visiting Milwaukee during the DNC unless essential.

VILLAGE LEADERS INKEWASKUM... A COMMUNITY THATSTRADLES WASHINGTON AND FONDDU LAC COUNTIES... WILL VOTETONIGHT ON A TRAVEL ADVISORY.IT WOULD WARN PEOPLE WHO LIVETHERE AGAINST VISITING TOMILWAUKEE DURING NEXT WEEK'SDNC.

OUR RYAN JENKINS SPOKE TOTHE VILLAGE TRUSTEE PROPOSINGTHE TRAVEL ADVISORY ... WHOSAYS HE FEARS MILWAUKEE WILLBECOME OVERWHELMED BYPROTESTERS NEXT WEEK.RJ: THE TRAVEL ADVISORY WOULDRECOMMEND THAT RESIDENTS INTHE VILLAGE OF KEWASKUM AVOIDNON-ESSENTIAL TRAVEL TOMILWAUKEE FROM SUNDAY UNTILFRIDAY NEXT WEEK ...
