    The new law requires a uniform number of days for early voting all across the state. Previously, some communities had more days to vote early than other communities - which was not fair.

    Signed Senate Bills 883, 884, & 886 into law in Green Bay. Despite all the hype and hysteria out there, these bills do nothing to fundamentally diminish executive authority. The bottom line is the new gov. will cont. to be one of the most powerful chief executives in the country.
