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, hitting March 15 and 16, closed roads statewide, pulled plows off secondary routes like State Highway 64 in Marinette County, and complicated firefighting at a major Green Bay business blaze where heavy snow and winds forced defensive operations and roof collapses. Cleanup continues amid gusty winds and a lingering winter weather advisory.

In politics, the state Senate wrapped what may be its final 2025-2026 session on March 17, passing Rep. Dave Armstrongs bipartisan bills tackling housing shortages and childcare. These include updates to low-income housing tax credits with rural carve-outs, historic tax credit expansions, and a business childcare tax credit mirroring federal incentives, now headed to Governor Evers, per WisPolitics. Critics from A Better Wisconsin Together called the session historically unproductive on costs, healthcare, and schools.

Economically, infrastructure advances as major bids top $7.4 million for Woodville wastewater plant upgrades awarded to Market & Johnson, plus lead line replacements in Wausau and water main relays in Milwaukee, reports The Daily Reporter. We Energies gained approval for a 150 MW Rock County solar project, boosting clean energy, while HeartWorks pioneers preclinical biomedical innovation with WEDC support.

Communities focus on education, with over a dozen districts seeking $509 million in April 7 referendums for safety upgrades, new middle schools in Whitefish Bay, and high school expansions in Howard-Suamico and Baraboo, amid stagnant state aid debates. Broadband efforts ramp up via the BEAD program.

Looking Ahead: Watch April 7 school referendums and State Supreme Court race, plus Evers housing bill decisions and lingering storm recovery.
