State lawmakers are planning to vote on several Republican priorities this week, including shortening the window for early voting and preventing Gov.-elect Tony Evers from changing the voter ID law. We preview the measures and examine the reactions they’re getting from Republicans and Democrats. Then, if you’ve noticed a high noise level on a recent dining out experience, you’re not alone. Turns out the design of restaurants is changing and it’s making the spaces louder. We learn more about that and we sort out the latest news about Michael Cohen, Paul Manafort, and Russia business deals.
