This summer, the U.S. Supreme Court will hear arguments and rule on partisan gerrymandering appeals from cases in Wisconsin and around the nation. In Wisconsin, 39 of 72 counties have passed resolutions that urge the state legislature to make the changes needed to create a nonpartisan redistricting process.  The meal is $20 per person. Reserve your place and select your entrée by 12 pm on May 9 by contacting Barb Graul at 920.743.6842 [email protected].
