There will be no investigation into whether Milwaukee County’s D.A, should lose his job over how his office handled the Waukesha Christmas Parade suspect.  A lawyer for Governor Tony Evers yesterday dismissed the complaint that asks the governor to fire John Chisholm over the low bail in the case.  The lawyer says the complaint wasn’t filed properly, and didn’t have enough supporting evidence.  Seven people in Milwaukee all signed the complaint, they say the D.A.’s office policy that set the

Add this to the political mix for this year.  Former Wisconsin Governor Tommy Thompson says he may run again.  Thompson told a Milwaukee TV station (Channel 12) that everything is on the table.  Thompson served a record four terms as Wisconsin governor, starting in 1986. Sources close to Thompson say he won’t make any decisions until he ends his time as UW System president in March.  If Thompson gets in, he would immediately change the Republican race.  Thompson is 80-years-old and says he’s physically

Republican lawmakers in Madison want a say in how the state spends billions of dollars from Washington, D.C..  State Senator Dale Kooyenga and state Rep. Bob Wittke yesterday unveiled a proposed constitutional amendment that would give the legislature control over federal dollars.  Right now, lawmakers have a say in how nearly 40-billion-dollars in state money is spent.  They, largely, don’t have any say in where federal money goes.  They have no say whatsoever over the billions-of-dollars that Governor Tony Evers

Doctors are telling people to stay at home if they can’t get an appointment to get a coronavirus test.  UW-Health’s Doctor Jeff Pothof says isolating at home is better than trying to show-up at a testing site, or show-up in the ER.  Many testing facilities across the state are backed-up, and people are waiting hours to get a test.  Pothof said while it’s frustrating to not be able to get a test, he said it’s dangerous to go to an

Eau Claire schools don’t have any more rapid coronavirus tests, and they’re not likely to get any more for a while. The city’s school district yesterday said it has run out of antigen tests. The district does have PCR tests, but those take a little while longer to come back. The district yesterday sent a note home to parents explaining the testing shortage, and apologizing. Eau Claire Schools say anyone who wants a test should make an appointment, but be

Wisconsin’s coronavirus hospitalization numbers continue to climb. The state’s Hospital Association yesterday said over 22-hundred people are now in the hospital with the virus. That includes over 480 people in intensive care. Both of those numbers are up from last week. The Hospital Association is not saying how many of those people are being treated solely for the coronavirus, and how many of those people are in the hospital with another health concern.

There’s now talk of a lawsuit if Wisconsin lawmakers change how the Green Bay Packers get money for Lambeau Field. Green Bay state Rep. David Steffen wants to disband the Stadium District, give some of its money back to taxpayers, and allow the city of Green Bay to take over maintenance and management of Lambeau Field. Packer spokesman Aaron Popkey yesterday told leaders in Green Bay that would bust the lease on the stadium, and lead to an almost immediate lawsuit. Popkey
