Strikes Contained Plan for Primary Elections in State Offices
A measure by Assemblyman OConnell sets March primaries for supreme court justice and state superintendent if more than three candidates file with April elections. Gov Rennebohm signed a similar bill with a May runoff if no candidate gains a majority from 12 supreme court and ten school superintendent hopefuls. The assembly also postponed a bill protecting elected officials’ employment rights and killed the auto hazard warning light proposal. Other actions include a plan to build an overhead drive at Kenosha junction, creation of a Racine small claims court, and steps toward public ownership of Milwaukee transit plus a state safety commission. introduced bills would raise legislator pay, create a Racine county small claims court, abolish coroner offices outside Milwaukee with a medical examiner, and fund water fluorination costs.
