MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Wisconsin Republicans are threatening to impeach Judge Hannah Dugan if she doesn't resign after her obstruction conviction. Federal prosecutors accused Dugan of distracting federal agents who wanted to arrest an immigrant in the Milwaukee County Courthouse and leading the man out of her courtroom through a private door. A jury convicted her of felony obstruction last Thursday. She faces up to five years in prison when she's sentenced. The Wisconsin Constitution bars convicted felons from holding public office. State judicial regulators haven't responded to messages inquiring about Dugan's future on the bench.

IRONWOOD - The Ironwood Area Schools Board of Education agrees to updating its fleet of aging school buses with a $206,000 purchase of two three-year-old used buses.

The vehicles, acquired from Nelson Bus Service Inc., are intended to replace two of the district’s oldest buses. This proactive replacement strategy is expected to yield considerable savings for the school district, as the older buses replaced required significant time in the shop for maintenance.
