Jay Rothman is out, and the search is on for his replacement. But there remains some mystery about the back story.

Liberal Justice-elect Chris Taylor won in a blowout, even winning in traditionally Republican counties like Ozaukee, Jefferson, Oneida and Vilas.

The April 7 state Supreme Court election is a return to normal — at least, when it comes to spending by the candidates and their allies.

Democratic Gov. Tony Evers, in his final State of the State address, emphasized past accomplishments, poked and prodded GOP lawmakers and laid out goals for the months remaining in his last year in office.
