We’re a little past soggy in some areas. There are some spots in Eau Claire where Saturday’s rains are still sitting in people’s backyards. Parts of the city were flooded by heavy rain over the weekend. There are no reports of any major damage or injuries, but the downpour turned some people’s backyards into waterways.

Representative Janel Brandtjen on Friday asked for ballots, voting machines, and election information from Milwaukee and Brown counties. She also wants the counties’ clerks to appear before her committee in Madison. Brandtjen has said for months that there are lingering questions about ballot security and whether local election managers followed the law last year. Neither of the two clerks have said if they will appear before Brandtjen’s committee at

Governor Evers has scuttled a plan from Republican lawmakers to send more money to cities that spend more money on their police departments. The governor vetoed the plan on Friday. He says the proposal would have put too many restrictions on cities as to how they could manage their budgets.
