There could be no state or local bans on gasoline-powered vehicles or other devices in Wisconsin under Republican bills now headed to the governor's desk. The measures, which would also prohibit bans of other devices that run on fossil fuels, are likely headed for vetoes by Democratic Gov. Tony Evers. Senators also passed a package of bills aimed at tightening the state's unemployment system, including one that could kick people off unemployment insurance if they fail to show up for job interviews or decline job offers.
