Wisconsin judge rules governor properly used partial veto powers on literacy bill
MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers properly used his partial veto powers on a school literacy bill, a judge ruled Tuesday. Dane County Circuit Court Judge Stephen Ehlke’s decision marks a victory for the Democratic governor as he works to stave off Republican attempts to rein in his partial vetoes, one of the few ways he can block or soften GOP initiatives. The dispute centers around two bills designed to improve K-12 students’ reading performance. The governor signed the first measure in July 2023. That bill created an early literacy coaching program within the state Department of Public Instruction as well as grants for schools that adopt approved reading curricula. The 2023-2025 state budget that Evers signed weeks earlier set aside $50 million for the initiatives but didn’t actually distribute any of that money.

NEW YORK (AP) — Fans of politics have another way to keep track of what’s happening in the most competitive states in the country through a new service that collects and streams local newscasts. Swing State Election News, which began operation Monday, lets streamers choose from among 37 local television stations in Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. They are primarily local affiliates of CBS, NBC, ABC and Fox. Those are the states that pollsters have concluded will most likely decide the presidential contest between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump. The service will allow people to test the maxim of “all politics is local” by closely following how the campaigns are being waged there. “Nobody knows local politics better than the journalists in the local communities,” said Jack Perry, CEO of Zeam Media.
