Three more Wisconsin Republicans are headed for the exit,
including Kevin Peterson, Devon Lamehu, and Rick Gundram.
Peterson is from the 57th district in the Fox Valley and says he's proud of his time in the assembly
and thanked his staff, colleagues, and constituents.
Senate Majority Leader Lamehu from Oosferg says he's ready for a new chapter
and wants to spend more time at home.
Gundram is from the 58th Assembly District and Central Wisconsin.
He says he's looking forward to family and travel after 20 years in local county and state government.
Lamehu is the 4th Republican State Senator not seeking re-election this fall.
Joining wrestling's Van Wongard, Brookfield's Rob Hutton, and Whitewater's Steve Nas.
In the assembly, Gundram is also the 4th GOP member stepping aside.
Along with Speaker Robin Foss of Rochester, Speaker Pro Tim, Kevin Peterson of Opaca,
and Representative Dave Murphy of Hortonville.
Public School enrollment is shrinking again across the state of Wisconsin.
State data showing public schools lost more than 14,000 students this year
was 68 of the state's 72 counties seen declines.
Overall enrollment dropped nearly 2% as compared to last year,
continuing a long-term slide that's pushing some districts to consider closing
or combining districts and schools.
A new report from the Wisconsin Policy Forum says the state has been losing students faster
than the national average for more than two decades, though the gap has started to shrink recently.
And Bayfield County is standing apart from its up-north neighbors over the Line 5 pipeline project.
The county board there voted 10-2 last month to reject an agreement with Inbridge
that would have reimbursed the county for emergency and law enforcement calls at the construction site.
The district attorney in Bayfield County said taking that money could make it look like law enforcement
is working for the company, not the public.
Some supervisors have argued that Inbridge should still help to pay for the extra costs.
Iron the national counties have already said yes to that same deal.

The Badgers season ends.
Hi, I'm Mike Clemens with sports, men's college basketball.
The Wisconsin Badgers lose in an upset.
To the high point Panthers, 83-82, the Panthers hitting three point shots 15 times in the game.
Did the Badgers have a bad performance? Head coach Greg Gard.
I don't think we played bad. I thought they beat us. They beat us.
They were banging in that many threes that was their chance to do that.
And credit to them, tip your cap to them, that they were able to make shots then take more
and make more than they have in a long time.
The Badgers Nick Boyd, after the loss.
Disappointing. It's a name of the game, man. You win, you lose.
You know, I keep your head up, get yourself back up, and you know, keep fighting.
I mean, I need to disappoint about another. It is what it is.
NBA, the Bucks blown out in Utah by the jazz, 128 to 96.
We played awful. Didn't play with any competitive spirit tonight.
That's Bucks head coach Doc Rivers with sports on Mike Clemens.
A little patchy fog this morning, then it is going to be partly to mostly cloudy and warmer today.
