In the course of three days in late February 2021, Wisconsin hunters killed 216 wolves, nearly 20 percent of the state s wolf population. The hunt was the result of a last-minute court order issued after the Wisconsin Institute for Law and Liberty filed a lawsuit on behalf of Hunter Nation Inc., a Kansas-based hunting advocacy group, because Wisconsin’s Department of Natural Resources (DNR) failed to hold a wolf hunt. Local tribes condemned the decision, urging tribal inclusion in the rule-making process. Conservation groups also opposed the wolf hunt due to the rushed process and lack of public input.
Law Forward takes on WILL
Attorneys Doug Poland, left, and Jeffrey Mandell announced the formation of Law Forward in October.
It was the stuff of comic opera. In December, Republican electors met, cast their votes for Donald Trump and dutifully sent off the paperwork to the proper officials in Washington. Never mind that Trump had lost Wisconsin and their goofy escapade was meaningless.Â
Technically, it may also have been illegal. Thatâs what a new nonprofit progressive law firm is saying, anyway. Law Forward has filed a complaint with the state Elections Commission alleging forgery and misconduct in public office among other things.Â
Each year, millions of dollars in contracts are awarded by the City of Milwaukee from major construction projects to office supplies. And every year, businesses owned by Blacks, Hispanics and other underrepresented groups, including women compete for those city dollars.
Now, a long simmering debate over whether the city s process for awarding contracts is equitable for those businesses may be coming to a head through a new study that is examining the city s contracting system.
The city s process for awarding contracts has long been race-neutral, which means race and gender cannot be used by the city as it awards contracts.

A well-connected conservative group in Wisconsin nearly succeeded in forcing the state to kick nearly 17,000 eligible voters off its rolls ahead of the 2020 election, new state data reveals.
The group, the Wisconsin Institute for Law and Liberty (Will), caused a national uproar in late 2019 when it successfully convinced a county judge to order the state to immediately remove more than 232,000 people Wisconsin suspected of moving homes from the state’s voter rolls. The state, relying on government records, had sent a postcard to all of those voters asking them to confirm their address, and Will sought to remove anyone who had not responded within 30 days.
