The Wisconsin Supreme Court is expected to issue a host of decisions on some major legal cases this month. What’s the rush? Justice Ann Walsh Bradley is retiring and the justices must issue decisions on all of the cases they’ve heard arguments for before the term ends on June 30. The clock is  ticking. To get the details on the court’s inner workings and the cases before it, we spoke with Erin McGroarty, the state government and disinformation reporter at the Cap Times.  ⚖️ Plus, the jury is still out on this year’s Best of Madison winners and we’re looking for your support!
