The Wisconsin Supreme Court has rejected a request to temporarily suspend Hannah Dugan's license while disciplinary proceedings continue.
Dugan was convicted of helping someone avoid federal immigration agents at the Milwaukee courthouse.
She's appealing that conviction.
Milwaukee county leaders are weighing two very different futures for the bus system, as MCTS faces a budget shortfall and possible cuts.
One plan would keep buses in more parts of the county, but riders could wait 30 to 60 minutes between buses on many routes.
The other would cut the number of routes from 44 to 21 and focus on busy areas, with more buses arriving every 15 minutes.
MCTS says no decisions have been made and they want more public input before a final redesign is chosen.

Milwaukee's Department of Community Wellness and Safety is starting a new initiative to lower the city's annual homicide total.
The goal is to get it below 100 for the first time in over five years.
Called This Is Our City, the effort targets 26 specific areas that account for most of Milwaukee's gun violence this year.
City teams say they plan to tackle two areas each week, offering assessments to fix issues like poor lighting and overgrown bushes.
Officials are also connecting the neighborhoods directly with housing, mental health and job resources.
Milwaukee could have a new semi-pro football team.
The group behind it all first needs to sell thousands of memberships to get the team off the ground.
Milwaukee Pro Football LLC says they've been awarded a Continental Football League expansion franchise, and they're offering $99 memberships.
The goal is to sell at least 2,000 of them.
The group says members would get game tickets and special event access.
The memberships don't provide ownership in the team.
Organizers have not yet picked a stadium or announced a team name.
And that's the local update.

How much are you willing to pay for a hoax?
In addition to endangering much of Northeast Wisconsin earlier this week, law enforcement experts say two back-to-back swatting calls likely cost residents thousands in wasted taxpayer dollars.
Police say swatting is when someone makes a fake 911 call, intended to get a large response from law enforcement.
That's what happened in Oshkosh on Monday when multiple agencies responded to a call from someone who said they'd shot their girlfriend and had another person at gunpoint.
The call turned out to be a prank.
The following day, another swatting call came into Calumet County.
This time, the caller reported he'd been stabbed in the chest and had shot his wife to death in the village of Harrison.
Again, multiple law enforcement agencies showed up
before it was determined to be a false emergency.
Packers running back Josh Jacobs is scheduled for a status conference in Brown County on September 4th as efforts are underway to seal video evidence for good.
Civic media's James Kelly has the story.
The video of the Josh Jacobs incident may never be released as lawyers ask to seal it permanently.
In a statement Monday, attorneys for the Packer running backs' ex-girlfriend cited privacy concerns for wanting to keep it from the public.
Jacob's last week took responsibility in the criminal case.
He pleaded no contest to two misdemeanors and got a $1,000 fine.
He faces a deferred sentence on another charge if he meets conditions over the next year.
A Brown County judge had ordered the evidence temporarily sealed.
Jacob's stays on the NFL's cannot playlist during the investigation.

Wisconsin State Patrol pilots are looking for speeding and aggressive driving from the air in Dane and Waukesha counties.
Pilots who spot possible violations will alert troopers on the ground who can make traffic stops.
State Patrol says the goal is to encourage safer driving, not simply to hand out tickets.
A 40 to 50 cent gas hike overnight is sparking both candidates in the race for Wisconsin governor to call for a repeal of the minimum markup law, also known as the Unfair Sales Act.
The law prevents businesses, including gas stations, from selling merchandise below cost.
While campaigning in Green Bay yesterday, Secretary of State Sarah Godluschi said repealing the minimum markup law could drop gas prices by as much as 50 cents a gallon.
Godluschi is running as a Democrat for Lieutenant Governor and said David Crowley also supports repealing the law.
Republican candidate Tom Tiffany also released a statement promising to repeal the law if elected governor.
State law says prices can only be adjusted once in a 24-hour period.
A new market poll shows Democrats gaining ground ahead of the midterm elections with a 13-point lead on a generic congressional ballot among likely voters.
The market law school poll found Democrats also have an advantage with adults on the economy, inflation, healthcare, and Medicare and Social Security.

Chargers are being filed against a former nurse at the Tomah Veterans Affairs Memorial Center.
53-year-old Beth Holts is accused of intentionally depriving a dying hospice patient of oxygen.
The incident happened in August of last year, with Holts reportedly telling a fellow staffer that she hoped the patient would die before the end of her shift because reporting his passing would be easier than writing up a fall that he had experienced earlier.
Holtz was taken into custody yesterday on a charge of intentionally abusing a patient, causing great bodily harm.
