Boileau Dismisses Resort Area Writ
Merrill Wisconsin circuit judge Gerald Boileau dismissed an alternative writ of mandamus requiring Wilson officials to grant Paul Senziga a liquor license for the Some Heights resort near Tomahawk.

The Some Heights resort has been in the news over plans to operate with no color line on guests.
