Lawmakers Look at WI Bail System

Republican lawmakers in Madison are moving quickly to change how bail works in Wisconsin.

A pair of lawmakers want to vote next week on a Constitutional amendment that would give judges more latitude in deciding when to keep someone in jail, and when to release them. The amendment passed last session, and must pass again this year before it can be put on the ballot for voters. The hope is to vote on the amendment next Tuesday so the amendment can be placed on the ballot in April.
