FREE WHITEWATER

Daily Bread: May 23, 2008

Good morning, Whitewater

It’s a private sector, civil society only day: there are no public meetings scheduled for Whitewater today.

In Wisconsin history on this day in 1903, according to the Wisconsin Historical Society, Wisconsin became the first state to elect candidates directly in a primary election, rather than through a convention or caucus. The progressive proposal was itself put to a direct vote, approved in a statewide referendum one year later.

The National Weather Service calls for 60 degrees, and partly sunny. For the Farmers’ Almanac, it’s a prediction of heavy rains.
