David Crowley promised Act 10 repeal, a BadgerCare option and universal pre-K in his first 30 days. A shrinking budget balance, a lost federal Medicaid bonus and a one-vote Senate cushion stand in the way.
David Crowley will be Wisconsin's first Black governor, with 18-15 and 53-46 majorities behind him. Bargaining rights, BadgerCare and school money top a long Democratic list, while two new constitutional amendments narrow the field.
Crowley carried Brown County, reportedly the first Democrat to do so since 1982, while Brandy Tollefson flipped the 88th and Green Bay's $158 million referendum passed. Gillett, Pulaski and Seymour voters said no.
The back-office systems behind 32 public libraries in Northeast Wisconsin could combine as soon as 2028. A committee votes in December, and all 10 county boards would have to sign off.
The April meeting of the Brown County Library Board made one thing clear. The “Third on the Square” project is no longer moving forward with quiet confidence.
The Board received an update on the Central Library, ADRC, and Wisconsin Job Center project. Staff continue to meet with county and city partners to clarify operational details, including parking and access.
