We had to change this story three separate times as new court orders came down the line over these folks’ employment. Simply put, their lives are being toyed with by several parties while these employees try to start lives here.

Johnson ahead of meeting with GOP senators today: “Democrats are going to keep running out the clock here, denying President Trump the confirmed secretaries for his departments. I think it’s pretty grotesque.”

Is this true? Are all local meteorologists at WKOW, WAOW, WQOW, and WXOW in Wisconsin getting laid off?
J🛰seph Patton (@JosephPattonWx) profile pictureJ🛰seph Patton@JosephPattonWx18 Jan 2025
Replying to @JosephPattonWx
just in Wisconsin alone, dozens of excellent local meteorologists will struggle to put food on the table, a move which will put people at risk. WAOW (ABC) in Wausau, WQOW (ABC) in Eau Claire, WKOW (ABC) in Madison, and WXOW (ABC) in La Crosse will all cease local weather coverage

Here's how the election results settled in the Wisconsin State Senate. Democrats won all four of the closest races -- Jodi Habush Sinykin (SD8), Sarah Keyeski (SD14), Kristin Alfheim (SD18), Jamie Wall (SD30) -- and will put the balance of power in play in 2026.
