The long march to a new state budget in Wisconsin is starting with more political bickering. The heads of the budget-writing Joint Finance Committee yesterday accused Governor Evers of playing politics and ignoring the budget process by scheduling a bill signing during today’s public budget hearing.

What started with a bell now features a cheesehead. The Brewers’ debuted their new home run celebration yesterday, with each home run hitter getting to wear a cheesehead on the return trip to the dugout.

Giannis had a triple-double on the night, scoring 28-points. The win brings Milwaukee closer to securing the number one seed in the Eastern Conference. The Bucks will look to get that win tonight against the Bulls.

The old black-and-white cars are on their way out, they will be replaced by a new black-and-blue paint job. Captain Clint Beguhn says the new color scheme will save the city some money. There will be seven new cars, Ford Explorer SUVs actually, to hit the streets in Green Bay this year.
