County seat dispute tests constitutional limits in legislature
In a heated session, Milwaukee and Washington County aides argued whether residents could relocate a county seat via a popular vote. Lawmakers debated constitutional bounds, contracts with Port Washington, and the need for statewide ratification, while petitions, remonstrances, and local road bills flooded the chamber. The debate continued as committees prepared reports and the House adjourned.
