State News Roundup For June 1, 2018
Shirley Abrahamson has been a Justice on the Wisconsin Supreme Court since 1976, and was the first woman to serve in that capacity. She announced this week that she will not seek another term. We’ll talk about her legacy on the court and what that could mean for the conservative-liberal balance. Attorney General Brad Schimel said that all of the backlogged Wisconsin rape kits are on their way for testing, and will be analyzed by the end of the year. We’ll find out what lead to that move. And Wisconsin Democrats are holding their state convention this weekend. We’ll get a preview of what’s on the agenda, including which gubernatorial hopefuls met the deadline to speak at the gathering.
