    Should probably put in Rave section too …. Election results in WI were a win for the liberal Supreme Court candidate and others. Supposedly, this election could have ramifications for the rest of the country?? Hopefully, the 1849 abortion law on the books will be overturned, as well as, limit or eliminate gerrymandering! Historic dollars spent and large turnout of voters! We had bad weather part of the day so this is especially gratifying. Yeehaw!

    Yes! A rave...perhaps the landscape is changing and abortion rights will be just part of women's health not controlled and politicized by people who have no business in my health care.

    It was a bad night in Chicago too. They went hard left instead of soft left in the mayor’s race. More of that SF on the lakeshore politics.

    The city has 25 - 30% of the assets it needs to fund it’s pension obligations. This could be the place where the cascade of bailout demands starts.

    Oh pshaw, there you go with your boring old caution of financial calamity. I don’t know why it’s a problem when the feds just print money and can give it to anyone in unlimited quantities.

    It was strange to me how the Democrats-favored judicial candidates won by a substantial margin but their ballot initiatives were all defeated by substantial margins.

    Yeah. They could make us all millionaires if those damned Republicans would only get out of the way.

    Don't know what you are talking about.....
    As of April 4, 2023, three statewide ballot measures appeared on the ballot in Wisconsin in 2023. All three were approved.
