MERRILL - Bond was set at $100,000 cash for a 45-year-old Merrill woman accused of trying to enlist someone to kill the father of her child.  45-year-old Angela Volm is charged in Lincoln County Circuit Court with solicitation to commit first-degree intentional homicide.  The complaint states Volm did not offer money to have the father of her child killed but rather implied some sort of sexual experience with the man she enlisted to commit the deed.  Volm is expected to return to court on Monday, when a judge will determine whether the case will proceed to trial.

N. WISCONSIN - Several dozen states might need to pay millions for food aid if they don't reduce errors in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. But nine states, including Wisconsin with low error rates won't have to pay anything when the new cost-sharing requirements begin in October 2027. The U.S. Department of Agriculture released data yesterday showing which states might owe money when cost-sharing start. States with high error rates face tough choices, like cutting other services or making it harder to stay in SNAP. Some states might even consider leaving the program. Advocates are urging Congress to delay these cost-sharing requirements.  Wisconsin has an error rate of less than 6%, one of the lowest in the country.
