Elections Tech: Wisconsin counties reported problems sending unofficial election-night results over modem-based systems in the August primary, raising renewed questions about reliability and operational strain. Agriculture & Health Costs: Wisconsin Farmers Union says Affordable Care Act subsidy changes are hitting farm budgets, with some producers reporting health insurance cost increases in the thousands and concerns about coverage for workers. Food Security: The DNR is boosting Deer Donation Program reimbursement rates for meat processors to encourage more participation, including higher pay when chronic wasting disease testing is required. Business & Courts: A Milwaukee-area car dealership faces an EEOC retaliation lawsuit tied to alleged firing and discipline after employees reported racial harassment. Local Business Regulation: Oconomowoc denied a gas-station tenant’s request to add beer and wine sales for on-premise consumption, citing community concerns and prior liquor-license issues.
