Gene Purcell, public broadcasting leader, dies following motorcycle crash


SAMARA KALK DERBY
Gene Purcell, a state public broadcasting leader, died Saturday as the result of a motorcycle crash. He was 61.
Madison Police on Monday reported a fatal motorcycle crash last Tuesday on the Beltline, which caused power outages from Todd Drive to Seminole Highway, but authorities wouldn’t confirm it was Purcell.
“He was smart and kind and selfless. And he loved deeply,” said Purcell’s wife, Ruth Purcell. “He was passionate about broadcasting, about his family, about his interests.”
Ruth said she hasn’t asked to learn a lot about the crash.
“I’m just not ready really to face that yet,” she said, noting that the police involved in the crash team are going to talk to her later this month. ....

MADISON - Two suburban Milwaukee voters asked a judge Monday to block the use of absentee ballot drop boxes in Wisconsin.
With the assistance of a conservative legal group, the pair made the request three days after the state Supreme Court declined to take a separate case that challenged the legality of ballot drop boxes. Drop boxes were widely used in Wisconsin last year in response to the coronavirus pandemic.
The latest lawsuit also seeks to prevent voters from having someone else return their absentee ballot for them.
If the suit were successful, voters would be barred from handing in the ballots of their spouses and neighbors. Madison officials would be blocked from reprising the Democracy in the Park events they held last year that allowed voters to drop off their ballots with poll workers who were stationed in more than 200 parks around the city. ....
