But occasionally it works in reverse, allowing someone to block the release of records to a requester. The Wisconsin Supreme Court has recently affirmed important limits on such efforts.
There’s good news, and murky news, for Wisconsin borrowers.
Evers doles out federal funds as Republicans block state support.
