First St. The nearly $24 million project will offer 30 vendor booths, food carts and event space while the foundation continues reviewing merchant applications. The Capital Times

- ➤ Big money from out-of-state billionaires is backing Dane County Judge Susan Crawford and Waukesha County Judge Brad Schimel in the Wisconsin Supreme Court race—money that could sway important cases. Donations have reached over $81 million so far and come mainly through political groups—groups that can spend above individual limits. Wisconsin Public Radio
- ➤ In Wisconsin, college students can vote using a student ID that meets strict requirements—such as including a signature and valid dates—which means schools like UW–Madison provide a special voter-compliant card since their regular cards like the Wiscard are not accepted. More than 12,500 voter IDs were issued last year and another 750 have been given this year as students prepare for election day, today. Wisconsin Public Radio
