MADISON — Federal judges in multiple states including Wisconsin have dismissed lawsuits filed by the U.S. Department of Justice seeking to compel the states to hand over voter registration information to the federal government. U.S. District Judge James Pederson dismissed the Wisconsin lawsuit, saying the state’s voter registration list is not a record that can be requested under the Civil Rights Act of 1960.  Thursday's rulings were the latest in a string of defeats for the Trump administration in its attempts to force states to turn over voter rolls.

UPPER MICHIGAN - A bill will soon cross Governor Gretchen Whitmer’s desk for approval that will allow some school districts in the U.P. to skip four extra snow days due to weather and subsequent flooding in March and April. State Representative Parker Fairbairn authored the legislation, which has already passed the House. Schools have had to extend the school year into June to make up for those lost days, increasing costs for the districts and interfering with family plans for the summer vacations.
