Wisconsin is fighting a Trump administration rule that would ease restrictions on a type of greenhouse gas used in refrigerators and air conditioners.
The State Justice Department says the chemicals, known as HFCS, are far more harmful to the climate than carbon dioxide, and the new rule would delay deadlines for phasing them out.
The administration says the change gives businesses more time and could reduce costs.
Wisconsin is joining a coalition of other states in the legal challenge.
One candidate for Wisconsin governor says she's disappointed with the outcome of an encampment in Madison.
State Representative Francesca Hong spoke out yesterday following Mayor Satya Rhodes-Conway's decision to clear out the sight of a fatal police shooting serving as a makeshift memorial.
People have been protesting and camping out there since Corey Ruiz was shot and killed by police on July 22.
In a statement, Hong called on Madison to be transparent about arrests and tactics used by law enforcement.
She said she wanted to make sure personal items and memorial materials were returned to their owners.
A legal group is suing Governor Evers and state officials over a law that authorized online sports betting through tribal administration.
The lawsuit argues that Wisconsin Act 247 violates the Wisconsin Constitution, which was updated in 1993 to prohibit most forms of gambling, with limited exceptions, such as the state lottery and charity raffles.
The group is suing on behalf of the Brown County Taxpayers Association and Milwaukee-based Citizens Defending Liberty.
The lawsuit also challenges Governor Evers' plan to negotiate tribal agreements in order to implement Wisconsin Act 247.
Such agreements, if negotiated, would ensure online sports gambling is done using computer servers on tribal lands.
Tribes like the United Nations support legalizing online sports betting.
They argue Act 247 ensures sports betting stays within the state rather than spreading into illegal or unregulated markets.
The governor's spokesperson said in a statement to WITIT
TV, the governor will fight the lawsuit.
A correctional officer from Janesville has been dismissed and taken into custody after finding himself on the opposite side of the law.

He is slated to appear in court tomorrow.

Luke's Medical Center.

A comeback win for Harrison.
High on Mike Clemens with sports baseball.
The Brewers beat the Pirates last night 4-2 in Milwaukee.
Lefty Kyle Harrison in his first start in over a month was doing great striking out 10 at 1.8 batters in a row when he says his legs started to cramp up towards the end of the fifth inning.
You know those last two hitters in the fifth inning just kind of locking up on me had the groin locking up the calves were just cramping.
So first time I really experienced like a full body cramp out there.
