Special session

Elected officials are spending the last of a spring federal COVID relief package as an end-of-year deadline approaches.
GOP lawmakers said the special session that Democratic Gov. Ralph Northam called in response to a mass shooting was premature and politically motivated.
He said other recent shootings are also driving his call for a special session.
Republicans used a decades-old rule to pass the laws. The suit says the process was illegal under the Wisconsin state constitution.
