Attack lines broaden beyond abortion in Wisconsin court race

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 20:10:25 GMT

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — The lines of attack in Wisconsin’s high stakes race for Wisconsin Supreme Court are broadening beyond abortion with three weeks to go in the contest that is already the most expensive election of its kind.Democratic-endorsed candidate Janet Protasiewicz, who initially focused largely on abortion, is now going after her Republican-backed challenger Dan Kelly over work he did for the GOP, critical statements he made on Social Security and other issues. Kelly’s backers are largely trying to paint Protasiewicz, a Milwaukee County judge, as weak on crime and unethical for speaking so forcefully in support of abortion rights.The winner in the April 4 election will determine majority control of the court, with the fate of abortion access, legislative redistricting, voting rights, rules for elections and other major issues at stake. The winner will also be in place heading into the 2024 presidential election in battleground Wisconsin. The court, currently co...

Debate over rebuilding of Toronto’s Gardiner Expressway reignited prior to mayoral by-election

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 20:10:25 GMT

With work completed on the reconstruction of the Gardiner Expressway and millions of dollars spent, a potential mayoral candidate and various community groups want to revisit the budget and kill the project, framing it a byelection issue.The construction and rehabilitation of the Gardiner Expressway have felt neverending, with plans to continue the massive project along the eastern portion for the next few years. That includes rebuilding the section between Cherry Street and the Don Valley Parkway, a bit further north, as part of what was once called a “hybrid” option to free up space near the Port Lands.“We want to get the facts about the Gardiner. There’s still time to change and adjust course and work. What we’re lacking at this point are facts around the costs of the construction in terms of the ramps,” said Gardiner Expressway Transparency spokesperson Albert Koehl.The debate over whether the work should be happening dates back nearly a decad...

Ohio State asks court to hear Title IX issues in abuse suits

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 20:10:25 GMT

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Ohio State University is asking the U.S. Supreme Court to consider questions about the law known as Title IX in a case that affects whether more than 230 men can proceed with lawsuits against the school over decades-old sexual abuse by a team doctor, the late Richard Strauss.The petition filed Tuesday urges the high court to hear the case and review two aspects: When does the clock start ticking on the legal time limit for filing Title IX claims, which in this case are about the university’s alleged “deliberate indifference” toward sexual harassment? And does the right to bring such claims apply to people who aren’t students or employees there, such as fans attending football games or visitors touring campus?The school argues the divided appeals court that revived the unsettled lawsuits against OSU reached the wrong conclusions on both elements.“Together, these rulings arm virtually anyone who has visited Ohio State over the past 40 years with a pot...

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. — A controversial part of the SAFE-T Act goes before the Illinois Supreme Court on Tuesday.The act's elimination of cash bail is at the center of the case before the justices in Springfield. A Kankakee judge ruled in favor of state's attorneys who believe getting rid of the cash bail system is unconstitutional. Now, the state's highest court will begin the process of making the decision to possibly eliminate the entire law.Gov. JB Pritzker and the attorney general are urging the court to reject constitutional theories from prosecutors challenging the measure. They believe eliminating cash bail puts dangerous criminals back on the street.Those against the SAFE-T Act are using a specific part of the Illinois constitution that guarantees people bail by sufficient sureties.The issue is whether sureties automatically means money. Illinois’ SAFE-T Act explained The attorney general's office argues lawmakers have the right to reform pretrial court procedures.However, op...
