EAU CLAIRE, Wis. (WEAU) - Before June 26, 2015 it was not possible for gay couples to get married in some states across the country. In Wisconsin however, it was legalized in late 2014 when the U.S. Supreme Court denied reviewing an appeals case to keep a gay marriage ban in effect. When SCOTUS came down with the 5-4 decision in the Obergefell v. Hodges case, invalidating gay marriage bans across the U.S., Cindy and Emily Peterson were excited for the future.

EAU CLAIRE, Wis. (WEAU) - The city of Eau Claire is looking to complete big projects in the coming years, meaning millions of dollars in investments. On Tuesday night, the city council adopted more changes for the 2026 Capital Improvement Plan. “Probably one of the biggest hurdles for the capital budget is there are a lot of needs out there,” said Dave Solberg, the Eau Claire Deputy City Manager. Some of the needs Solberg saw, upgrading the wastewater treatment plant.

EAU CLAIRE, Wis. (WEAU) - A local non-profit is re-working its summer program after a flood brought damage to the basement, roughly estimated to be in the 10′s of thousands. With the space now rendered unusable, it is unclear how much repairs will be or even how it will get paid for. Orientation was underway at the Lee and Mary Markquart Center in Eau Claire Wednesday.

EAU CLAIRE COUNTY, Wis. (WEAU) - There is an interesting downward trend with dairy farms in America’s Dairyland that has been going on for years. That is something farmers like Felicia Erickson and her husband, 5th generation farmer Dave Messerschmidt, are keeping an eye on. The cows on her farm are having breakfast in the vast field surrounding the Messerschmidt Dairy Farm in Eau Claire County Saturday. “We milk 55 Holstein cows. And, we have young stock on the farm as well,” said Erickson.
