MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers has renewed his promise to veto a bill passed by the Republican-controlled Legislature that would ban high school transgender athletes competing on girls teams, saying he will be “damn proud to do it.” Evers repeated his earlier veto promise moments after the state Senate on Tuesday passed the measure on its final planned meeting day of the session. Numerous other bills with bipartisan support, including one to allow for early processing of absentee ballots, were destined to die for lack of a vote. The Senate did pass a bipartisan package of bills designed to increase the safety of judges.
