MADISON, Wis. — The state’s Supreme Court has ruled that the Democratic governor legally used the state’s uniquely powerful veto to lock in a school funding increase for 400 years.

Gov. Tony Evers took an increase for the 2023-24 and 2024-25 school years and vetoed the “20” and the hyphen to make the end date 2425. The justices said governors are allowed to strike digits or create a longer duration than what the Legislature approved.

Judge: Tufts student must be transferred

A federal judge has ordered that a Tufts University student from Turkey who was detained by immigration authorities be brought to Vermont.

U.S. District Judge William Sessions says he will hear Rumeysa Ozturk’s request to be released from detention. Lawyers for the 30-year-old say she was moved to a Louisiana cell in apparent retaliation for an op-ed piece she co-wrote in the student newspaper. The government says she engaged in activities in support of Hamas.
