Surplus Deal Implodes: Wisconsin’s $1.8 billion tax relief and school funding package died in the state Senate, with Democrats and three Republicans voting no—leaving districts warning of immediate harm to staffing and student programming. Capitol Fallout: Gov. Evers and GOP leaders had framed the plan as a bipartisan fix for rising costs, but Sen. Melissa Ratcliff called it reckless and one-time, while Senate Democrats argued it could worsen next budget cycle gaps. Election-Integrity Clash: Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley escalated his fight with the FBI after agents visited a Milwaukee County elections official’s home, calling it intimidation tied to Trump’s 2020 claims. Consumer Protection: A new Wisconsin law targets crypto kiosk scams with a $1,000 daily transaction cap and required scam-warning signage. Campus Tension: UW-Milwaukee revised its plan to consolidate student resource centers after backlash—keeping most identities intact while relocating them into one hub.
