Good morning, Racine. Here's your local news at a glance for Saturday, the 29th of March.

EDUCATION NEWS

  • Governor Tony Evers vetoed a GOP bill on March 28—one that would have brought back old school standards for the Forward Exam—so the current system stays as debate grows before the state superintendent election.  Racine County Eye
  • The Mahone Foundation will host its 25th Anniversary Scholarship Gala on May 9 at the N.E. Tarble Athletic and Recreation Center at Carthage College — awarding scholarships to high school seniors from Kenosha and Racine with a reception at 5 p.m. and dinner and awards at 6:15 p.m.  Racine County Eye

GOVERNMENT NEWS

  • The Racine Common Council will vote on Wednesday, April 2 at 6 p.m. on two contracts worth about $2.75 million to repair city streets. If approved, Payne—Dolan Inc. will resurface Wisconsin Avenue, Shoop Street, Douglas Avenue and College Avenue while Milwaukee General Construction Co. will reconstruct an alley north of 16th Street, improve Lake Avenue and restore parts of Douglas Avenue.  Racine County Eye
  • Racine Common Council will vote Wednesday, April 2 at 7 p.m. on a $14.2 million contract with KGI Construction Group to build 33 owner-occupied Lincoln-King townhomes that support affordable housing in a neighborhood with mostly older rentals — if approved, construction will begin in May and finish in August 2026.  Racine County Eye
  • Elon Musk announced on X that he will visit Wisconsin Sunday, March 30 to speak only to those who have already voted in the state's Supreme Court election and will hand out two $1 million checks to petition supporters—his super PAC already gave a check to Green Bay’s Scott Ainsworth. Judge Susan Crawford’s campaign said the visit is a last-minute attempt to sway voters in the election on Tuesday, April 1.  CBS58
  • Voters in the Village of Waterford will choose three trustee candidates on April 1. Candidates answered a questionnaire highlighting plans for greater transparency, improved public safety following a terminated police service contract and efforts to boost fiscal responsibility to support local services.  The Journal Times

HEALTH NEWS

  • A health article says that seeing your doctor once a year can catch problems like high blood pressure and diabetes early—like how you take care of a car to avoid a breakdown. It also explains when men and women should get extra tests to stop serious sickness.  Racine County Eye
