Some big changes for the Green Bay Packer offense today. |
GREEN BAY - The team placed running back DeShawn Wynn on injured reserve because of an injury he suffered in last night's overtime win at Denver. And the Packers activated wide receiver Koren Robinson, who was recently reinstated by NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell after a one-year suspension for a third violation of the league's substance abuse policy. Robinson has been practicing under a league exemption for more than a week. (Copyright 2007 by The Associated Press. All Rights Reserved.)

RHINELANDER - Qualifying Wisconsin veterans are getting a break from the Badger State through a property tax credit.
Prior to the 2009 tax year, veterans who were 100 percent disabled under individual unemployability were not eligible for this property tax benefit.
They also had to be at least 65 years old, and have joined the military from Wisconsin. But this year is different.
