Becoming a subscriber of the Racine County Eye is a big deal.
It means you value local journalism, not the corporate-owned stuff that just wants to feed you crime and conflict. But the good stuff, like stories about your kids reaching a milestone, a business owner courageously opening their doors or that nonprofit that is lifting people up or who is running for election.
That's the journalism we're committed to producing every day. And I'll be honest, we could use your support in making that happen. So if you aren't a paying subscriber, please consider becoming one. We can't do this work without you.

PS... this year we'll have our 10th anniversary. And we would love to have 500 people subscribe for $20/month so that we can reach $10,000/month in subscriptions. Can you help us reach our goal?
Veterans will soon have a much easier time verifying their status to qualify for benefits.
Service men and women can request that “Veteran” be printed in red on their state issued ID as long as they are registered with the state as a veteran.
Gov. Scott Walker made the announcement last week, according to a story in The Journal Times.
Once a veteran’s status has been verified, they can go to their nearest DMV office to get their new ID or driver’s license. Regular fees do apply.
