The Capitol Report

Wisconsin Supreme Court justices are considering the legality of an Evers administration order to limit indoor capacity even though it has expired and was shot down by a state appeals court.

With lawmakers retiring, resigning or losing reelection, the Wisconsin State Assembly will see 16 new members while eight new members will serve in the state Senate in the coming two-year session that starts in January.

Despite winning a narrow plurality in Wisconsin a month ago, Joe Biden won just 37 Assembly districts and 11 in the Senate, according to a WisPolitics.com analysis of certified returns.

Paul Ryan in late November, speaking out against President Trump, said the “legal challenges to the outcome and the attacks on our voting system really need to stop.”

Two counties that went for Trump last time — Sauk and Door — voted for Biden in 2020. But many other swing counties in the state went red.

A new two-year legislative session begins in January, and for the first time in years, majority Republicans have a new majority leaderand a new co-chair of the budget committee.

The dust hasn’t quite settled on Election Day 2020. But it can be said that this unique election likely will be remembered as a record high-turnout affair (at least by one measure) with record absentee ballots and record spending that resulted in Wisconsin reverting to its blue tilt during presidential years.

The tug of war between Gov. Tony Evers’ administration and Foxconn over billions in tax incentives has moved to a new stage.

Gov. Tony Evers’ administration is asking the state Supreme Court to take over a challenge to the limits on indoor public gatherings in Wisconsin, arguing the case involves “immediate, life-threatening public health conditions.”

Wisconsinites this November will be deciding on more than $1.1 billion in K-12 school referendums across the state, a total that, when combined with ballot measures in April, puts more school money on the ballot this year than any other single year this century.
