Wisconsin Updates: Campus, Packers, and Politics | Madison News

Wisconsin’s back on track—UW-Madison’s campus is fully reopened after a six-week shutdown from that epic water main break, while Green Bay’s Packers defense is exploding in camp with so many standout plays it’s forcing tough roster decisions. Politically, absentee votes for the governor’s race are down 10% from last year, but officials say it’s too soon to predict overall turnout. The UW system is asking for $90 million to train 35,000 new healthcare workers to fix the state’s staffing crisis. Locally, North Shore Drive reopens Wednesday with tricky left-turn rules, and Madison’s budget includes $1 million mostly for police overtime following the July 22 shooting and protests.
