The showdown at Wisconsin’s Department of Natural Resources will continue. A Dane County judge on Friday dismissed a lawsuit that sought to replace Frederick Prehn on the DNR board. Prehn is a Scott Walker appointee but has not stepped down. He said he will leave when a successor is confirmed by the Wisconsin Senate. That hasn’t happened. Lawmakers do not like Governor Tony Evers’ latest pick, and no one is saying if the governor will submit another candidate anytime soon.

The full moon will look larger than usual Monday night as the Harvest Moon ushers in the arrival of autumn.  Summer will officially come to an end in the Northern Hemisphere when the autumn equinox arrives this Wednesday.  For many, autumn begins with the Harvest Moon, which will be at its brightest at around 8 p.m. Eastern Monday night.  The Harvest Moon could also appear to have a yellow or orange tint when it’s close to the horizon.

The case stems from the discovery of four Minnesotans all shot to death inside an SUV  in northern Dunn

 A graduation celebration in person is in the books finally for the University of Wisconsin-Madison Class of 2020.  The event was held at Camp Randall yesterday.  School officials say thousands of friends and family were in the stands as around 25-percent of the graduating class was present on the field.  Graduates received their degrees officially last year in an online event after the in person ceremony was canceled due to the COVID-19 emergency.
