Morning Links for July 6, 2015

The latest on Scott Walker and open records, a violent weekend in the city, free bus rides, and more.

Good morning, and welcome to the week.

  • Despite announcing over the weekend that changes to Wisconsin’s open records law would be removed from the budget, Gov. Scott Walker’s office has — for months — been operating as if the new records exceptions were already in place, reports the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.
  • Gov. Walker’s presidential campaign adviser Rick Wiley will be in Madison on July 21 for an event with WisPolitics.
  • Bus rides in Milwaukee County are free today now that the strike/work stoppage is over.
