Wisconsin Senate hits pause on push to extend bar hours for Democratic convention.  (Capital Times, 2/19/2020)

The back-and-forth came hours after Senate Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald told reporters in the Capitol that the effort to extend bar hours "doesn’t have nearly the momentum it had probably a month ago" among his caucus. 

The Juneau Republican pointed to issues of potential "fallout" from the extension, such as "a high-profile case of drunk driving." 

"I think with more scrutiny it’s not as strong as probably it was right out of the gate," he said.
