 On the other side of an active Election Day, we take a look at the results going forward. It will be a second term for Tony Evers.  He beat Republican Tim Michels, taking about 51-percent of the vote.  Wisconsin’s race was the most expensive governor’s race in the country.  Michels last night told his supporters that there are problems in Wisconsin that still need to be fixed.  Evers told supporters last night that ‘boring wins’ and shows appreciation to the state for voting

It was a ‘Yes’ night for Eau Claire and the city’s school district.  Voters last night approved tax increases for both.  The city’s referendum will raise about a million-and-a-half dollars a year to hire more people at city hall.  The school district’s referendum will raise taxes by almost 100 million-dollars for building improvements and new hires.  Both questions got about 60 percent of the vote.

Wisconsin’s Department of Natural Resources says this year’s elk hunt was successful.  Wisconsin allows four hunters to bag an elk each year, and this year all four were successful.
