Aren't you so glad all that rain is gone? Today will be another nice, mild day with a high around 45 degrees. It might be breezy, but far from the recent strong winds. Tomorrow will have a high near 47 to kick off the weekend, but don't rule out more rain after that. Sorry.

Check if you live in new districts

Under Wisconsin's new legislative maps passed in February, as many as 21% of the state's adults could find themselves represented by a new political party in either the state Assembly or Senate this fall, based on historic election results.

That's based on the Journal Sentinel's latest analysis, which found that more than 420,000 voting-age Wisconsinites currently represented by Republicans in the state Assembly have been drawn into districts that could be competitive or favor a Democratic candidate instead. For the Senate, it's half a million.

Areas most likely to see a change in party representation in either the Assembly or Senate include the cities of Green Bay and Eau Claire, rural areas in south central Wisconsin, the southeast corner of the state from Milwaukee to Kenosha, and the Driftless Area.

Check out Andrew Hahn's analysis, where you can enter your address into the new maps to find your current lawmakers and whether your new district is more red or blue. Pretty cool!

What to know about the MPS referendum

If you're just tuning into the debate about Milwaukee Public Schools' referendum on the ballot April 2, Rory Linnane has you covered with plenty of stories to explain what it means.

Her latest story breaks down what you should know about the referendum, including what a referendum even is, how much taxes would go up, where the money would go if it's approved, why there's another referendum after the one in 2020, and the groups that have come out for and against the referendum.

And there's plenty more to read. Principals are preparing different budgets for if the referendum passes or fails, and staff cuts are possible in the second scenario. Campaigns on both sides are spending big on the battle. A Wisconsin Policy Forum report also dives deep into the district's financial picture, including what inflation has to do with it.
