For this week's Capitol Notes, we examine the top political stories of the year. It began with the inauguration of Democratic Gov. Tony Evers. He defeated Republican Scott Walker the previous fall.
Evers' relationship with the GOP-controlled legislature was contentious from the start. Republicans passed laws before Evers took office, limiting Evers' powers, as well as those of new Democratic Attorney General Josh Kaul. The move sparked protests at the State Capitol and a number of lawsuits.
