- Episode Description
- Here and Now, SC Election, Tonight, we begin our formal coverage of the candidates for Wisconsin Supreme Court. Incumbent Justice Louis Butler is here, a former public defender and Milwaukee municipal and circuit court judge. Butler was appointed to the Supreme Court by Governor Doyle in 2004. Cooperation between Wisconsin's 11 Indian tribes and state government was the message this year in the speech given by Robert Chicks, the president of the Stockbridge Munsee band of Mohican Indians, and president of the Great Lakes Intertribal Council. He asked state lawmakers to pass a joint resolution to acknowledge a legitimate relationship between Indian governments and the state legislature. Great Lakes Compact, The Great Lakes Compact is an agreement among eight states on how water is allowed to be diverted out of the Great Lakes. Governors from all eight states signed the compact in 2005. It awaits approval in the Wisconsin legislature. Some lawmakers are more than ready to pass it. Others say a few changes are are needed before passage. The leaders of Wisconsin's Indian tribes are also concerned about the state of the Great Lakes compact. State Smoking Ban, The sticking point in Wisconsin, as in other states that have considered a state ban, is what to do about smoking in bars. That's where the smoking debate gets the most heated, and that's why we decided to ask two tavern owners to join us tonight. Keith Daniels supports the Madison ban and the idea of a state one. David Wiganowsky says smoking bans are bad for business. (w/ smoking debate sot during open copy), Securing better healthcare remains a big concern for Wisconsin's Indian communities.
