Remember when the state’s DNA backlog first came to light? At the time, Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke said of the situation, “This isn’t a mistake, this is an abomination.

According to a unanimous ruling form a federal appeals court, Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke was wrong when he forced his deputies to listen to a Christian-themed presentation during roll call in 2006.

Just a few random thoughts after a long, hectic day: The Legislature’s Joint Finance Committee voted 16-0 last week to request Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen open a fraud probe to investigate whether administrative fraud has occurred in Milwaukee County’s operation of several social safety net programs.
