There’s a new report that Republicans say shows that Wisconsin is spending more money than ever on public schools. The report from the Legislative Fiscal Bureau came out last week, and shows the state spent over seven-and-a-half billion-dollars on state aid for public schools last year. That’s up from seven-point-three billion in 2020, and seven-point-three billion in 2019. The report also comes as the state’s Department of Public Instruction gets ready to release its state aid numbers for this year. Those will

Prosecutors are pushing sexual assault charges against a young man accused of slapping women while riding an electric scooter near the UW-Madison campus last month.  Investigators are accusing 18-year-old Ethan Peltier from Waunakee of slapping a woman’s butt as he drove past her.  The woman says he hit her hard enough to leave a red mark.  It happened on September 7th, and investigators had to turn to the public to find Peltier.  He’s denying that he ever hit anyone.

A three-thousand-year-old canoe may not be the only artifact sitting just below the waters of Lake Mendota.  State archaeologists say there could be an entire village waiting to be discovered.  Researchers and historians pulled the canoe out of the lake last month.  It is the oldest canoe ever found in the area.  State Archaeologist Dr. James Skibo says his team is now going to see what else they can find, with the expectation that they will find something.

You can tell we are getting closer to Election Day, and you can tell the mood in the race for U.S. Senate in Wisconsin may be starting to shift. Last night’s debate between Republican Senator Ron Johnson and Democratic Lt. Governor Mandela Barnes saw more barbs than the first. The two attacked each other and disagreed completely on abortion. Polls give Johnson a six point lead in the race with a little more than three weeks left until Election Day.

The jury in the Waukesha Christmas Parade trial heard another day of testimony from the people who were there when six people died and 60 others were hurt last year, and the judge heard another day of complaints from the man charged with killing them. Darrell Brooks Jr. yesterday spent about an hour arguing with the judge about the case. He once again asked to have the trial dismissed. Prosecutors, for their part, had one of the members of the

La Crosse’s ban on conversion therapy is now part of a federal lawsuit. The Wisconsin Institute for Law and Liberty yesterday filed a lawsuit to end the city’s recently approved ban. Advocates and some city leaders say conversion therapy, where a therapist talks to people about their sexuality, is harmful to the LGBTQ+ community. WILL said the city doesn’t get to punish doctors for expressing unpopular ideas. La Crosse first approved the ordinance back in June, but it was flagged a month

Republican lawmakers in Wisconsin are getting angrier and angrier with the people in charge of professional licenses in the state. State Senator Rob Stafsholt on Wednesday blasted the state’s Department of Safety and Professional Services for ignoring them. Stafsholt says lawmakers asked five simple questions in August about Wisconsin’s months-long licensing backlog, but he says DSPS has ignored them. Stafsholt said someone needs to explain not only why everyone from dental assistants to engineers are waiting so long to get their license, but

Wisconsin’s latest coronavirus map is a sea of green. The CDC says most of the state is seeing low coronavirus levels. Milwaukee and the WOW counties are seeing medium levels, but just two counties are seeing high levels. Rusk and Barron counties in western Wisconsin are the only areas of the state in the orange, but that may be because of their low population and not because of a spike in new coronavirus cases.

Over 66-hundred more small businesses and non-profits across Wisconsin are getting Main Street Bounceback grants from the state government.  Today Governor Tony Evers  announced the grants will go to businesses and non-profits in all 72 Wisconsin counties.  Evers says he plans to invest 100-million dollars into the program and help ten-thousand organizations.
