- Now a quick look at another Wisconsin news development.
In response to increased spending in the state's judicial
elections and concerns over recusal standards for Supreme
Court justices, a group of 54 retired Wisconsin judges filed
a petition this week seeking new disqualification rules
for judges.
The proposal to the state Supreme Court asks for higher
conflict-of-interest standards for the state's jurists.
The petition comes seven years after the court decided judges
didn't need to recuse themselves from cases simply because of
campaign contributions, regardless of the amount.
