Democratic governors and attorneys general are set to reprise their roles in battling President-elect Trump's policies. They're preparing for a tougher legal environment than they faced when he first took office eight years ago. Democratic attorneys general back then sued over Trump's policies scores of times and had success in the courts, especially early in the term. But the courts are now more conservative, and officials expect Trump's team to better organized this time. The legal filings probably won't start until Trump is in office, but the meetings are already happening. And Democratic leaders are trying to ensure those disheartened by the election that they'll push back.

The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources has issued the first round of permits allowing Enbridge to reroute an aging pipeline around a tribal reservation. About 12 miles (19 kilometers) of Enbridge's Line 5 pipeline runs through the Bad River Band of Lake Superior Chippewa's reservation. The tribe sued the energy company in 2019 to force it to remove the pipeline from the reservation, arguing the line is prone to a catastrophic spill. Enbridge has proposed a 41-mile (66-kilometer) reroute around the reservation. DNR officials announced Thursday that they have issued the company construction permits. Enbridge still needs discharge permits from the DNR as well as the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
A new report shows Wisconsin voters approved a record number of school referenda in 2024 elections. The Wisconsin Policy Forum released a study Thursday that found school districts held a record 241 referenda this year. The old record was 240 set in 1998. Voters approved a record 169 referenda, eclipsing the old record of 140 set in 2018. The approved referenda authorized a record $4.4 billion in new funding for school district, breaking the old record of $2.7 billion set in 2020. The report attributed the record number of referenda to inflation outpacing increases in the state's per pupil revenue limits.
