New York judge halts Job Corps closings; 100 Milwaukee staffers spared for now
After thinking they were going to get laid off, staff members at the Milwaukee Job Corps Center might still have jobs after all, even though the U.S. Department of Labor announced it was cancelling contractor-operated centers. On June 4, U.S. District Judge Andrew Carter Jr. granted a temporary restraining order halting the Labor Department and Secretary Lori Chavez-Deremer from closing the facilities without congressional approval. The Job Corps center in Milwaukee, 6665 N. 60th St., is operated by Horizons Youth Services based in Virginia; it has about 100 staffers that could be affected by any changes. 'We were pleased and excited with the court's decision to grant the Temporary Restraining Order and that the closure of Job Corps Centers has been stopped," Nolyn Fueller, president of Horizons, said in a statement. "The students that we serve deserve and need the opportunities that Job Corps provides. I hope that the facts and figures contained in the Transparency Report are further reviewed and more accurate statistics are shared regarding the success and safety of Job Corps campuses. Job Corps positively changes lives.' On May 29, the Labor Department announced it was closing contractor-operated centers due to low graduation rates, high costs and safety issues. 'Job Corps was created to help young adults build a pathway to a better life through education, training, and community,' Chavez-DeRemer said in a statement at the time. 'However, a startling number of serious incident reports and our in-depth fiscal analysis reveal the program is no longer achieving the intended outcomes that students deserve. We remain committed to ensuring all participants are supported through this transition and connected with the resources they need to succeed as we evaluate the program's possibilities.' Sen. Tammy Baldwin, D-Wisconsin, has been a strong supporter of the Jobs Corps program and sent a letter to Chavez-Deremer on June 3 urging that the decision be reversed. After the court's June 4 ruling, Baldwin issued a statement: 'Gutting a program that is a proven way to connect Wisconsinites with careers and helps businesses and the trades get the skilled workers they need is a huge mistake. While students and employers are both left in the lurch about whether the training, housing, and support they were promised will continue, President Trump could stop this chaos if he just ended this crusade to make room in his budget for big corporate tax cuts, and instead prioritized Wisconsin working families and businesses.' The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reached out to the Labor Department but has not received any comment.

5 questions for Wisconsin racing in 2025: How much sprint car racing is too much?
Before the calendar flipped, we looked ahead to five questions to be answered – or at least addressed – during the 2025 Wisconsin racing season. One involves an incredible and ambituous stretch of sprint car racing at its highest levels with Kyle Larson's High Limit series June 3-4 and the World of Outlaws June 6-7-8. Advertisement Other questions involved the Milwaukee Mile, the ASA STARS National Tour, what the future might look like for NASCAR in the state, and the short-track juggernaut that is Ty Majeski. But here's the second: Rico Abreu, right, and Brad Sweet, seen at a World of Outlaws race at Beaver Dam Raceway in 2022, are now regulars on the High Limit Racing sprint car series. More: Key Wisconsin auto racing events for the 2025 season How will an unofficial Wisconsin sprint week play out? Not only did the World of Outlaws grace Wisconsin with eight races in 2025, it dropped three of them alongside the previously announced two-night Badger State debut for Kyle Larson's High Limit Racing. Five events in six nights are an abundance for sprint car fans. High Limit is set to race June 3 at 141 Speedway in Maribel and June 4 at Red Cedar Speedway in Menomonie to start this unofficial Wisconsin sprint week. The Outlaws events fall on June 6 at the Plymouth Dirt Track, June 7 at Beaver Dam Raceway (the traditional $20,000-to-win Jim 'JB' Boyd Memorial) and June 8 at Angell Park Speedway in Sun Prairie. Advertisement There's one conflict across the timespan, Red Cedar on the night of an Outlaws' stop in Jackson, Minnesota. Will any High Limit teams use their proximity and free weekend to cross over and give fans a bigger treat? How many Wisconsin drivers might partake? What's the chance the weather holds for all five nights? And, ultimately, will ticket buyers be able to support it all? Then the Outlaws will be back in the state for doubleheaders June 27-28 at Cedar Lake Speedway in New Richmond and July 11-12 at Wilmot Raceway as well as a single night Aug. 19 at Mississippi Thunder Speedway in Fountain City.
