Fate of Photo ID Law for Voting Remains in Question 03/19/2012
|

MADISON - While some winners and losers clearly emerged during the legislative session that began in January 2011 and ended last week, the fate of others remains unknown.
Ongoing court battles might derail some of the Republicans' biggest accomplishments like the requirement that voters show photo identification at the polls.
Recall elections could hand Democrats majority control of the state Senate after a previous round last summer saw them gain two seats, one fewer than what they need to take over.

RHINELANDER - The threat of wildfires is upon us early in the Northwoods this year.
Last year at this time there was still a foot of snow on the ground. This year, it's warm and windy, and the DNR says there have already been 130 wildfires throughout the state.
"Last time I remember a fire season starting so early it was in 1988," says Andrew Shaney a Forest Ranger with the DNR.
The receding snow might be a welcome sight for warm weather lovers, but it also means switching on that fire safety mindset almost a month early.
