AGP Executive Report
Last update: 2 hours agoElection Watch: Wisconsin’s early in-person absentee voting starts Tuesday ahead of the Nov. 3 election. The state has received 173,164 of 364,888 requested absentee ballots; ballots must reach polling places by 8 p.m. Election Day. Gov. candidates Tom Tiffany and David Crowley will debate Wednesday, their only face-off before the vote. Competition: Wisconsin joined the FTC and 11 other states in suing to block PlayPower’s proposed purchase of playground-equipment maker BCI Burke, arguing the deal could reduce competition and raise costs for schools, parks and other buyers. State Government: Gov. Tony Evers signed a sister-state agreement with France’s Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region, Wisconsin’s first new such partnership in 36 years, targeting ties in agriculture, energy, manufacturing and health sciences. Passenger Rail: A $218 million federal grant would cover 80% of the Milwaukee-to-Madison rail project, but Wisconsin leaders would still need to provide $54.5 million for capital costs and about $2.5 million annually to operate the service. It could begin as soon as 2030.
