Recuse ME? Impeach You! Plus, School Safety and that Blue Supermoon
The City Cast team is here to round up the news of the week. Bianca Martin, Dylan Brogan and Molly Stentz recap the week of kerfuffles on the Wisconsin Supreme Court. GOP lawmakers are talking about impeaching sitting Supreme Court Justice Janet Protasiewicz after she rebuffed their request to recuse herself on upcoming redistricting lawsuits. Plus, parents and educators from Lake View Elementary are upset after the Madison School District deems wooden benches a risk. And where was the best place to see the blue supermoon in Madison?
