Senate Shows Hand on Ekern Issue in Wisconsin Legislature
The Wisconsin Senate debated the Ekern case with key action on Bosshard's bill giving circuit courts power to review removals by executive officers. The vote was 4 to 12 in favor of advancing. Clem C. Host’s fire marshal appointment was tabled, likely to linger until the Ekern ruling. The assembly moved to engross Walsh's bill on permanent equity for purchases after fifty percent paid. The coupon ballot measure and several other bills were discussed or enacted, with mixed outcomes and ongoing questions about the Ekern case and related appointments.
