CHIPPEWA FALLS — Plans to renovate or replace the Chippewa County morgue received a financial boost recently, as the county has received $600,000 in federal aid towards the project.
U.S. Rep. Derrick Van Orden, R-Prairie du Chien, inserted the funding request in legislation that President Donald Trump signed into law in February. It is the same measure that provided $2.25 million to upgrade the water system at an Altoona mobile home park.
Edge applauds Reps. Elise Stefanik (R-NY), Derrick Van Orden (R-WI) and Josh Harder (D-CA) in their bipartisan effort to return the amount of milk available to WIC families to the maximum monthly allowance for low-income moms and babies to previous levels. The bill, known as the Protecting Mothers and Infants Access to Milk Act, would restore the maximum daily limit of dairy products allowed in the WIC program previously reduced through a proposed rule put forth by the Biden Administration.
