概要

 Wisconsin listeners are digging out from the historic Blizzard Elsa, which dumped a record 26.1 inches of snow on Green Bay, the most in 138 years, according to WLUK FOX 11. The storm hampered firefighting at a major business blaze in the city, where heavy snow and roof collapses forced defensive operations, WLUK FOX 11 reports. Cleanup continues amid gusty winds and travel advisories.

In politics, the 2025-26 legislative session ended this week as the Senate gavels out until January 2027, per the Wisconsin Farmers Union. Key wins include bipartisan AB 130 and 131, releasing $125 million from the PFAS Trust Fund for contamination cleanup, water conservation, and DNR staffing, now awaiting Governor Evers' signature. Evers signed Senate Bill 23 on March 18, extending postpartum Medicaid coverage to 12 months, joining 48 other states. However, AB 24 passed, mandating sheriffs check jail inmates' immigration status and cooperate with ICE, drawing criticism from farm groups. Several GOP leaders, including Assembly Speaker Robin Vos, announced retirements.

Economically, a data center boom promises jobs and growth, Wisconsin Watch reports. Construction phases could boost manufacturing, with three state firms securing over $1 billion in sales for equipment like cooling systems. Microsoft estimates 50 full-time operational jobs per center, potentially sparking tech corridors and infrastructure needs in rural areas, though long-term sustainability remains uncertain. School districts seek $509 million in April 7 referendums for renovations and safety upgrades, led by Howard-Suamico's $147 million ask, per The Daily Reporter.

Community efforts shine in education and rural entrepreneurship, with the UW Extension's Connecting Entrepreneurial Communities Conference set for Green Lake in May.

Looking Ahead, watch for Evers' action on PFAS bills, budget surplus debates for schools and taxes, and April referendums. Data center projects and nuclear restarts in Kewaunee County loom large.
