The guv’s office said the appointment is effective Tuesday, and Taylor is resigning from the state Senate today.
President Joe Biden on Thursday touted $1 billion in federal funding for a bridge connecting Superior to Duluth, Minn., as part of an effort to rebuild American pride, not just an investment in critical infrastructure.
Assembly Republicans today approved legislation that would ask voters whether the state should ban abortion after 14 weeks after the chamber rejected a series of attempts by GOP Rep. Chuck Wichgers to amend the bill. It cleared the chamber 53-46 with 11 Republicans joining all Dems in opposing it.
