📰 News we're reading

• Plans for a new sales tax in Sturgeon Bay are moving forward (fox11online.com) — Sturgeon Bay is moving ahead with a new half-percent premier resort area sales tax aimed largely at tourism-related purchases, expected to generate about $400,000 in just half a year. Enabled by the 2025-27 state budget and a 2018 referendum where 70% of local voters approved the idea, the tax still needs final city council approval in January before taking effect.
   

• Amazing Amanitas (doorcountypulse.com) — Deadly Amanita mushrooms, including the destroying angel, are documented in several Door County sites, including the Sturgeon Bay Ship Canal Nature Preserve and Potawatomi State Park. The piece explains how to recognize these fungi, why they’re so dangerous, and offers practical safety tips for local foragers and parents to prevent poisonings.
   

• Green Bay Notre Dame's Kingston Allen is Gatorade football player of year (greenbaypressgazette.com) — A former Sturgeon Bay High School standout, lineman Jake Bscherer, is among the few local greats now joined by Green Bay Notre Dame junior running back Kingston Allen as Wisconsin’s Gatorade football player of the year. Allen shattered state rushing records, led Notre Dame to the Division 2 title game, and already holds multiple Division I offers as he eyes an even bigger senior season.
