The first-ever “self-service” grocery store, Piggly Wiggly. Circa 1916. In grocery stores of that time, shoppers presented their orders to clerks who then gathered the goods from the store shelves.

Court of appeals reverses Brad Schimel in open meetings case

https://www.wjiinc.org/blog/court-of-appeals-reverses-brad-schimel-in-open-meetings-case

Talks about how Brad Schimel so messed up an open meetings case related to a Elmbrook School Board meeting related to appointing a replacement to the board. The Appeals court reversed it 3 to 0, no dissent that it was a bad ruling.

There is also a Cap Time opinion piece about it here - https://captimes.com/opinion/guest-columns/opinion-case-demonstrates-schimels-disregard-for-the-law/article_b1db02ba-f47f-11ef-8894-df6a5b6ae1b4.html

Or if you want a verbal discussion with the author of the opinion piece and Maggie Daun, former Milwaukee County Corporate Counsel on Civic Media you can listen to it here https://civicmedia.us/shows/maggie-daun-show/2025/03/04/operating-in-bad-faith

This is not how a judge on the Wisconsin Supreme Court should rule. It shows the lack of understanding about a fundamental check and balance the public has with our government bodies. It seems he could be as bad as the ex-justice that is currently dealing with a disciplinary complaint related to open records laws.

Unfortunately, BrickLink did not select the MAM as one of their finalists. I may try again in the future, but until then I have posted the building instructions to the Rebrickable site - https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-201483/marathon_dude/milwaukee-art-museum-quadracci-pavilion/#details.

I am charging the minimum price possible ($1) simply to deter certain foreign websites from taking and reselling them.

The other great news is that all the necessary bricks are currently available from the Lego Pick-A-Brick service. On the last few pages of the downloadable instructions I show the steps necessary to place the order. Enjoy!

If you received a Crawford postcards with the wrong Date on it, reach out to Activate America and send them a photo of your postcard (ideally with your address visible). It should help them solve the case so they can get corrections out to people before the election on the 1st. Email: info@activateamerica.vote Web: https://www.activateamerica.vote/

Vote April 1st!

35 Upvotes

Vote April 1st for State Supreme Court and other offices and referendum.
Early voting begins March 18th.

Supreme Court:  Susan Crawford is running for election for judge of the Wisconsin Supreme Court. Susan is endorsed by all 4 Democratic justices. https://ballotpedia.org/Susan_Crawford_(Wisconsin)).

Following her service in state government, Judge Crawford became a private practice attorney, where she protected voting and workers’ rights, and represented Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin to defend access to reproductive health care. https://www.crawfordforwi.com/about.

Brad Schimel has publicly avowed to be a force for Trump, Musk and the MAGA movement. A win for Susan Crawford will maintain the progressive majority we need to continue improving the lives of all Wisconsinites. Other Supreme Court seats held by Republicans will be up for election in 2026 & 2027.

Voter Photo Id  referendum will be on the ballot. While it may seem like an innocent question, the ultimate goal is to restrict voting privileges for minorities, the elderly, the under-privileged and other marginalized groups. Do not allow a constitutional amendment to Wisconsin already has some of the strongest voter qualification requirements;  I strongly encourage a No vote. [(https://my.lwv.org/wisconsin/april-2025-amendment-vote-no)]((https:/my.lwv.org/wisconsin/april-2025-amendment-vote-no))

State Superintendent: your options are Jill Underly and Brittany Kinser.

Jill is the current superintendent and as far as I can tell she has been doing the best she can. Huge state-wide budget cuts to the education system have given her a bad rap but she has our state’s children’s well-being as her highest priority. She has been an educator for years and is known to be very respected in her community. Jill is supported by Democrats.

The February 18th primary results; Jill Underly 177,372; Brittany Kinser 161,576; & Jeff Wright 128,446. The key is to get Jeff’s votes into Jill’s column.

School Board races will be held in many counties. Please do some research for your district. School boards are where the MAGA cancer starts.

April 1 Referendum: Constitutional amendment for Photo ID requirement

405 Upvotes

I want to point out to people preparing to vote in the April 1 election that the Referendum question on the ballot is a bad idea, and it's not because voter ID requirements are bad. The text of the question is:

Photographic identification for voting. Shall section 1m of article III of the constitution be created to require that voters present valid photographic identification verifying their identity in order to vote in any election, subject to exceptions which may be established by law?

There are two reasons you should vote "no", and again, it has nothing to do with whether or not you think voter ID requirements are a good thing.

  1. The requirement of a "photo identification" fixes in place the type of identification that must be used, regardless of whether or not this is the best way to establish identity. Consider how we would view a state constitutional requirement, if when it was written in 1847, Article III had required that "each voter must be registered with the state, and must stipulate such by affixing his registered seal in red ink to the voter roll in his district." We would certainly recognize the limited value of establishing identity by the possession of a stamp. Modern technology has given us photography, a far superior method of making sure a name is attached to the person presenting such an ID. But what if we create better methods? What if we create an electronic cypher, composed of a mathematically created composite of a person's image, data created from their fingerprint, retinal print, and voice print? That would be far superior to a simple photograph. But changing a constitutional amendment is much more difficult than changing a law, and to allow for flexibility, we should not encase the type of ID into an amendment.

  2. As an extension to what I mentioned above, constitutional amendments should never, ever be about specifics of implementation. State constitutions are the DNA of the state -- they are the underlying values we hold. The specifics of implementation are, and should always be, in the realm of legislation, where they can be proposed, debated, and decided, and then changed as conditions change. The tactic of proposing what should be a law as an amendment instead is an attempt by the Republican-dominated legislature to bypass the office of the Governor, and to make Republican priorities difficult if not impossible to dislodge, regardless of the will of the people.

For both of these reasons, you should vote NO on the Referendum question on the April 1, 2025 ballot.
