- Another prominent state official
announced his departure this week.
Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke resigned Thursday
effective Thursday.
He says he will reveal his future plans next week.
We go now to an update away from the state capitol
and down to Texas.
As the nation comes together to help those with the continuing
devastation of Hurricane Harvey,
Wisconsinites are joining the effort.
The Red Cross of Wisconsin currently has a contingent of
more than 90 volunteers in Texas,
a number expected to increase in coming days and weeks.
They are providing support and emergency shelters and providing
necessities such as food and medical care.
Also aiding the effort are U.S. Coast Guard members from Wisconsin.
More than 20 went with rescue equipment this week and stations
along Lake Michigan are on standby to send more.
