Local leaders like Karl Samek and Ed Johnson decry state home rule limits while Wisconsin Alliance of Cities notes possible program cuts and layoffs as appeals are filed. State officials defend a one year limit tied to the extraordinary relief.

Seven people were injured in four city traffic accidents since Tuesday morning. In one crash on Rose Street a 41 year old man from Onalaska veered after braking to avoid a front car, hitting two parked cars and causing injuries to himself and a passenger. Other accidents sent a Madison woman and a Trempealeau resident to area hospitals with minor injuries while a La Crosse teen suffered a bruised arm. No citations were issued.
