most states. but not wisconsin-- and it's not even close to happening-- some say it's out of fear. but it's not that scary and it's far more scrary that we're doing nothing. the lawmaker fighting an uphill battle... and why the attorney general and other elected officials don't want

problem--our dose of reality showed how prescription drug use often leads to heroin--and death. wisconsin attorney general brad schimel has led the fight against opioid abuse--he points to drug takeback events and law enforcement's use of "narcan" as tools in his fight. should he be adding another? tonight the politics of pot. most every night, "madelyn"--not her real name--goes out to the front bushes of her milwaukee home and smokes

sneak it ...and for other people to understand. she knows she's breaking the law. she also knows she needs the relief. the major problem was major intestinal blockage... a series of surgeries last year left her in a great deal of pain--unable to work. "i went to the doctor and asked if she could refill my oxycodon and she said no..you shouldn't be on that anymore" if her doctor was concerned about "madelyn" getting too depen had reason to be--opiod addiction is an epidemic in wisconsin--and fighting that addiction is priority one for the state's republican attorney general brad schimel. it's absolutely devastating..there's no bigger public safety crisis and it's driving everything..robbery.. burglarly. schimel has a lot of tools in his fight against opiod abuse. medical marijuna is one he has no interest in adding. so why start

path...it doesn't make sense. but it does-apparently make sense to 28 other states that have approved some form of medical marijuana use-that voted just last week to allow the medicinal use of pot. " voters in those states were able to vote directly for medical marijuna..somthing that's far more difficult to do here in wisconsin..this will have to be fought at the state capitol...and leading the charge is a mote never even tried pot. i'm not someone who's ever used marijuna...i was raised in the dare system. when she was first elected in 2010 from a very democratic district in madison, state representative mellsa sergeant never planned on being the flag bearer for legalizing pot but now she's the capitol's leading advocate for it. i came to realize after some

the most dangerous thing about mj is the way we're treating it now. republicans--she says--would be smart to get on board simply from a financial perspective. in a state where my colleagues keep saying we're broke.... the department of revenue estimates that state could make 22-million million dollars by legalizing medical marijuana in its first year alone--triple that in year two. why not do this in a way we centers..licensed by the state of wisconsin..where people know what's in the product..where it's labeled. schimel--citing a lack of support from the american medical association and the f-d-a-- is far from convinced. is there anything that could convince you that medical mj is the way to go for pain relief..is the way to go. id want to the consensus of the medical community supporting that and we

grandmother is back at work full- time--and easing her physical pain with a product nowhere close to being legal in her home state. i'm doing it for a reason and it's helping. we've certainly not made her public enemy number one..we should not treat her as a criminal. i'm sorry...it's not fair..and i'm working hard to change that. sargent saw her bill die in committee last session but will be bringing it up again. asmb he's looking to see what the new congress does--as he says this is a federal issue--something the majority of states

a missing link to the packers defense might be back in place on sunday. coming up, we'll have the latest on a defense trying to stem the tide of defeat. and the bucks are facing the heat, hoping to play much differently than they did last night. highlights from miami are next in

the good news for the bucks was they had less than 24 hours to think about last night's disappointing performance in atlanta. but they had a real test again as they were in miami facing the heat. and they were looking to have a short memory. they play well in the 1st half as they jump out to a 20-6 lead when jabari parker finishes with the jam being tied at 48 at the half, they fall apart, scoring only 25 more points. and the heat would score 29 in the 4th quarter alone. going on to win 96-73. up next for the bucks, the golden state warriors in milwaukee on saturday night. the badgers back on the court tonight hosting chicago state at the kohl center. after leading by 8 at the half, they pull away in the 2nd half as khalil iverson scores a career high 11 points as the badgers win easily 69-51. they'll take on tennessee monday afternoon.

said that he feels good about where he's at and fully expects to play sunday in washington. it couldn't come at a better time as the packers defense has struggled without him. but they're looking to stem the collapse this weekend. tim van vooren has more from lambeau field. "well, it is easy to point to the defense right now for the green bay packers. you hear defense wins football games and they have not been winning football games in green bay of late. three straight losses. after they beat the bears three games ago the packers were seventh in the league in total defense. not they're tenth. pretty evident where the trouble is." "i think obviously we know we can play better and we want to play better, that's the thing. but i don't think we're still out there making our calls, our adjustments, excited to play with each other. no one's pointing fingers. nobody's doing whatever." "we just gotta come out and play our game. fundamentally sound football game, just everyone do their job. and i feel like we're ready to get back on track." "we need some turnovers man. it's as simple as that. i was just telling one of the other guys the ball just hasn't bounced our way yet. we just need some tips, overthrows just to get us going then hopefully those turnovers start coming in bunches." "hyde's point about

who wins and who loses nfl football games. the packers are 25th in the league. in the category turnover ratio they are negative four. the big day for the badgers football team. with a win over purdue and losses by nebraska and minnesota, the badgers will win the big ten west division and earn a spot in the big ten championship game on december 3rd. the state football championships are underway and cedar grove-belgium faced amherst today for the division 5 title. this was a see-saw affair, down 28-21 the rockets tie the game late in the 3rd quarter on the great pass by josh weiss to jason von heimburg. in the 4th, the two hook up again

cedar grove-belgium. after amherst ties the game at 35, the rockets try to get tricky with less than a minute to go in regulation, but reid hilbelink fumbles on the hook and ladder play and amherst recovers. then with 9 seconds left, amherst kicks a game winning field goal taking home the state title in division 5, 38-35 is the final. after the game, weiss talked about the comeback coming up short. "we started getting a rhythm. we found some holes in their defense, tried to get it in the playmaker's hands. end up coming up just short but life goes on. it'll b and the cubs win again, at least kris bryant does as he was named the national league's most valuable player today. in the american league, mike trout gets the honor. toss to break the admirals have a night in cleveland shutting out the ahl champion lake erie
