Dane County has seen a noticeable spike in opioid and heroin-related overdoses since 2000.

An ongoing investigation into a downtown homicide reported earlier this week has identified the victim in the case to be 46-year-old Andrew G. Nesbitt.

Gov. Scott Walker said he would not approve raising the gas tax in an effort to fix roads, despite opposition from some legislative Republicans.

Gov. Scott Walker sent a letter to the NFL Monday urging players to “stop their protests during the anthem and move on from what has become a divisive political sideshow.”

Attorney General Brad Schimel will dispatch election integrity teams to monitor next week’s elections.
